profile-builder is a skill for Claude Code from stanislavnianko/product-discovery-claude-skills. It costs 114 tokens per session (1,627 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A discovery interview workflow that creates discovery-context.md, a project file containing the client, product, engagement, access, deliverable, constraints, and open-question details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the beginning of discovery work to collect project details and prepare context for scope, risk, and prototype planning.
Why use it?
It gives related discovery skills one shared source of project information instead of making each task start without context.

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

profile-builder 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 — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Profile Builder

Foundation skill of the discovery-phase skill pack · foundation group · writes discovery-context.md, the file every other skill in the pack reads.

Produces discovery-context.md — the single source of truth that every other skill in this pack reads. Without it, other skills will warn and offer to bootstrap inline (a 2–3 question mini-interview held in conversation, not written to disk). Running this skill first gives the best, most consistent results.

Activation rule

The moment this skill triggers, go straight to the interview. Do not summarise the skill, do not ask permission, do not explain the structure. The user already knows what they activated.

What this skill writes

A single file at the project root: discovery-context.md.

It contains 7 sections:

  1. Client
  2. Product / Initiative
  3. Engagement
  4. Access & Data
  5. Expected deliverable
  6. Constraints
  7. Open questions about the engagement itself

See ./template.md for the exact structure.

Procedure

Step 1 — Check for existing context

If discovery-context.md already exists in the project root:

  • Show the user a 5-line summary of what's there.
  • Ask: "Do you want to refresh (re-interview from scratch), update (only the section I name), or keep (just confirm and exit)?"
  • Route accordingly. Default to "update" if unclear.

If the file doesn't exist, proceed to Step 2.

Step 2 — Interview, in 4 batches

Use AskUserQuestion. Group questions to minimize round-trips.

Batch A — Client

  • Client name and short description (1 sentence)
  • Domain / industry
  • Business model: B2B SaaS / B2C product / marketplace / services / internal tool / other
  • Stage: pre-launch / early traction / scaling / mature / declining
  • Decision-makers: who signs off on what (names/roles)
  • Existing relationship: new logo / repeat client / staff aug / pre-sale prospect

Batch B — Product / Initiative

  • What's being explored (one sentence)
  • Current state of the thing: idea / spec / prototype / live but failing / live but pivoting
  • Prior research / artifacts available (links, file names, or "none")
  • Has the client already proposed a solution or feature list? (yes / no — and if yes, summarize it)

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.
