nw-discuss is a skill for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 39 tokens per session (6,855 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for analysing user jobs, designing journeys, gathering requirements, and writing user stories and acceptance criteria. It supports feature analysis from user motivations through requirements ready for design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define user stories, acceptance criteria, requirements, journeys, and emotional considerations for a feature.
Why use it?

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 A, and why

nw-discuss scanned grade A with 0 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 5d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

NW-DISCUSS: Jobs-to-be-Done Analysis, UX Journey Design, and Requirements Gathering

Wave: DISCUSS (wave 2 of 6) | Agent: Luna (nw-product-owner) | Command: /nw-discuss

Overview

Execute DISCUSS wave through Luna's integrated workflow: JTBD analysis|UX journey discovery|emotional arc design|shared artifact tracking|requirements gathering|user story creation|acceptance criteria definition. Luna uncovers jobs users accomplish, maps to journeys and requirements, handles complete lifecycle from user motivations through DoR-validated stories ready for DESIGN. Establishes the acceptance-test foundation.

For greenfield projects (no src/ code, no docs/feature/ history), Luna proposes Walking Skeleton as Feature 0.

Output Tiers (per D2)

Provenance: feature lean-wave-documentation — D2 (schema-typed sections), D10 (one-line expansion descriptions), DDD-7 (DISCUSS pilot wave), D6 (install-time pedagogical prompt). Tier-1 [REF] sections (always emitted) + Tier-2 EXPANSION CATALOG items (lazy, on-demand) are the two output bands. Full contract: nWave/skills/nw-density-resolution-contract/SKILL.md.

Tier-1 [REF] — always emitted

Under ## Wave: DISCUSS / [REF] <Section> headings:

  • Persona ID — one-line user identifier mapped to the journey
  • JTBD one-liner — single-sentence Job-to-be-Done statement
  • Locked decisions — D-numbered design decisions with verdicts
  • User stories with elevator pitches — every story has Before/After/Decision-enabled triplet
  • Acceptance criteria (ACs) — testable, embedded per story
  • Definition of Done (DoD) — 9-item checklist
  • Out-of-scope — explicit non-goals
  • WS strategy — A/B/C/D per Mandate 5
  • Driving ports — inbound surfaces (CLI, skill, HTTP)
  • Pre-requisites — dependencies on prior waves or features

Tier-2 EXPANSION CATALOG — lazy, on-demand (per D10)

Rendered under ## Wave: DISCUSS / [WHY|HOW] <Section> only when requested via --expand <id> (DDD-2), the wave-end menu (expansion_prompt = "ask" or "ask-intelligent"), mode = "full" auto-expansion, or an ad-hoc user request mid-session.

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.
