recipe-discover

recipe-discover is a skill for Claude Code from shinpr/claude-code-discover. It costs 17 tokens per session (1,177 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided process for finding business and user opportunities, then writing testable hypotheses about them. It combines business models, market analysis, and user needs such as jobs to be done—the tasks people are trying to accomplish.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover product opportunities and create opportunity and hypothesis documents.
Why use it?
It brings different kinds of evidence together so opportunity decisions are less dependent on untested assumptions.

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

recipe-discover 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context: Discover Opportunities and generate hypotheses by combining business analysis (BMC/VPC/market) with user analysis (JTBD/pains/gains). Outputs Opportunity files and hypothesis files.

Orchestrator Definition

Execution Protocol:

  1. Required specialist execution: Invoking this recipe is the user's explicit instruction and authorization to execute every named specialist whose condition applies. Execute each applicable Agent call with its declared subagent_type when its prerequisites are met and continue from its returned result; equivalent orchestrator work does not complete that step
  2. Exact specialist handoff: The complete Agent prompt consists of all and only the applicable canonical field: value entries declared by the specialist's Input Contract. Copy each value unchanged from its authoritative source; serialize path fields as path strings so the specialist reads referenced artifacts directly
  3. Follow the discovery flow defined below
  4. Approval gates: At each [STOP — BLOCKING], present the named decision and resume after explicit user confirmation

Workflow

Assess context → gather decision-relevant business and user evidence → confirm Opportunities → draft and approve hypotheses → write discovery artifacts.

Execution Decision Flow

1. Context Assessment

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Assess the starting point:

Situation Action
Greenfield (no existing product) Gather the business and user evidence needed to frame the current Opportunity
Existing codebase Invoke codebase-analyzer first using Agent tool (subagent_type: "discover:codebase-analyzer") with analysis_mode: feature_discovery and governing_context: $ARGUMENTS
Specific market opportunity Focus on market analysis + VPC
User feedback / support tickets Focus on user analysis + journey mapping
Vision exists (docs/product/vision.md) Align discovery with Product Outcomes

2. Business Context Analysis

Changes

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.
