pm-discovery

pm-discovery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nmrtn/nanopm. It costs 61 tokens per session (5,440 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A product-discovery process for deciding what to build before planning how to build it. Product discovery explores user needs, opportunities, assumptions, and inexpensive ways to test them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a product, changing direction, or feeling unsure about a feature. It maps the opportunity, identifies assumptions, designs tests, and can prepare an interview guide.
Why use it?
It helps clarify whether an idea is worth pursuing and exposes the riskiest assumptions early.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

pm-discovery scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 497 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Multi-host portability rules. When invoking AskUserQuestion:

  1. The header field MUST be a short noun phrase (≤ 12 characters). Mistral Vibe rejects longer headers with string_too_long. Pick from: Start, Target, Scope, Audience, Methodology, Feature, Question.
  2. The options list MUST have at least 2 items. Vibe rejects empty/single-option calls. For free-text input, always provide ≥ 2 framing options (e.g. Yes, here's the input / Skip) — never call ask_user_question with options: [].

Two modes

This skill has two modes. Pick based on what the user is asking for:

  • Map mode (default): the full discovery flow below (Phases 1–7). Maps the opportunity space, inventories assumptions, designs the cheapest tests, and writes the wiki Discovery page.
  • Interview-prep mode: the user wants a hypothesis-driven user-interview guide to take into a live call — a prep deliverable, not a discovery analysis. Jump to the Interview-prep mode section near the end and produce the guide there. Prep mode does not write to the wiki or the opportunity database; it only hands the human a ready-to-run guide. (Capturing what an interview returns — transcript import, signal extraction, feedback writeback — is /pm-add-feedback's job, not this skill's.)

If it's ambiguous, default to Map mode and offer prep mode at the end.

When to run this

Run /pm-discovery when:

  • You're pre-product and unsure what to build
  • You're considering a new feature and want to validate it first
  • You're pivoting and need to re-examine the problem space
  • pm-challenge-me gave you a strategic gap you don't know how to close

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

pm-discovery is a skill published in the GitHub repository nmrtn/nanopm (48 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 5,440 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
