research-product

research-product is a skill for Codex from tsingyuai/growth-lab. It costs 100 tokens per session (797 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research workflow for gradually learning what a product is, based on code, documentation, real pages, data, and user statements. It records confirmed facts separately from interpretations, assumptions, and unknowns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when first examining a product, investigating a user problem or growth loop, or updating the root SOUL.md file with supported product knowledge.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from inventing a complete product description from limited evidence. It also preserves sources and conflicting findings for later checking.

About the project

Growth Lab is an open-source growth system that uses coding agents to understand a product, research markets, execute growth activities, and learn from the results. It is designed for teams that want to manage growth work across channels such as SEO and Xiaohongshu through natural-language collaboration, persistent product context, and recorded outcomes. Catalogue add-ons define parts of its product models, research methods, execution workflows, and agent operation.

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

research-product 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

渐进式产品研究

目标不是完成一份产品报告,而是让 Agent 在真实执行中逐步认识产品。每次只研究当前任务需要的部分,并更新能够跨轮次复用的稳定认知。

证据层级

按以下顺序区分,不得混写:

  1. 已观察事实:代码、配置、路由、界面、公开页面、真实数据或用户明确陈述直接支持。
  2. 暂定解释:多条事实共同支持,但仍需要使用或市场证据验证。
  3. 工作假设:为了推进当前 loop 提出的可能用户、问题、场景或价值,必须写明验证方式。
  4. 未知:没有证据时保留“未知”,不为了填满 SOUL 而补齐。

代码通常只能直接证明产品形态、组成和可见能力。不得从“存在某功能”直接推断“用户最需要它”“它解决了某个核心问题”或“这是产品差异化”。

每次执行

  1. 读取现有 SOUL.md 和当前 Model 的相关 Memory,确定这次真正缺少哪一小块产品认知。
  2. 定位产品载体:当前/相邻本地仓库、用户指定路径、原型、线上 URL 或用户描述。
  3. 只读检查与问题直接相关的代码、文档、路由、配置和页面,不进行无目标的全仓扫描。
  4. 需要验证可见行为时,让调用方 Model 使用 screenshot-assets 获取真实页面证据;截图和本次研究记录进入该 Model 的 Memory。
  5. 列出“新增事实 / 被修正事实 / 新假设 / 仍未知”,每项附来源路径、URL、截图或用户陈述。
  6. SOUL 增量写入协议 修改 SOUL.md。只更新本轮有新证据的字段,不重写整份文件。
  7. 将带时间的检查过程、证据清单和下一步验证动作写入调用方 Model 的 memory/<model-name>/products/<product-slug>/

写入边界

  • SOUL.md:产品的稳定认知、明确假设、关键未知和证据链接。
  • Model Memory:本轮检查过程、截图、页面状态、临时分析、冲突证据和后续验证任务。
  • 产品仓库:产品实现本身;除非用户要求修改,不因研究而写入。
  • Collector:只维护研究方法,不保存某个产品的事实。

发现冲突时保留旧说法和新证据,先降级为“待验证”,不要静默覆盖。用户明确纠正产品事实时,记录为用户陈述,并在能验证时补上产品证据。

交付

报告本轮实际研究了什么、SOUL 哪些行发生变化、哪些结论仍只是工作假设、证据保存在哪里,以及下一次应在什么真实行动中验证。不要宣称已经“完整理解产品”。

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
