discovery-conductor

discovery-conductor is a skill for Claude Code from stanislavnianko/product-discovery-claude-skills. It costs 85 tokens per session (805 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided coordinator for product discovery work, which is the process of understanding a product, its users, and its feasibility before building it. It recommends which discovery skill to use next from the available project context.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps decide the next step after setting up discovery context, especially when the user wants to be guided through discovery.
Why use it?
It gives first-time users and teams with complex engagements a clear checklist without forcing them to follow one fixed path.

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

discovery-conductor 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 12d 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 — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Discovery Conductor

Optional orchestrator for the discovery-phase skill pack · foundation group · reads discovery-context.md + _log.md to recommend the next skill.

The optional "guide me through this" skill. Most experienced users skip the conductor and invoke skills directly when needed. The conductor is for: first-time users, complex engagements with mixed access patterns, or BAs who want a checklist.

This is a guide, not a gate. You can stop, skip, or branch at any point. The pack works without the conductor.

When to activate

  • BA says "walk me through discovery" / "what should I run?"
  • After profile-builder if the BA isn't sure what comes next
  • For a new engagement type the BA hasn't run before

Do not activate if the BA names specific skills directly — they know what they want.

Step 1 — Read context

Read discovery-context.md. If missing, ask the BA inline: "(a) engagement mode (pre-sale / paid discovery / delivery / staff aug / internal); (b) end-user access (direct / client-mediated / proxy-only / none)?" — enough to pick a sequence. Or recommend running profile-builder first for high-stakes work. Never block; default to a generic sequence if the BA insists.

Use the selection matrix in ./sequences.md to map (engagement mode × access level) → sequence A–H. Read the chosen sequence's full step list from that file before presenting it to the BA.

Step 3 — Hand off control

Show the BA the chosen sequence. Then:

"Recommended sequence based on your context: <list>. I'll suggest the next skill after each one completes. You can run them in this order, skip any, or invoke a different skill manually any time. Ready to start with <step 1>?"

Step 4 — After each phase, suggest next

Read _log.md (canonical line schema documented in profile-builder) to see which skills have run. Based on completed phases, suggest the next from the sequence:

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.
