# Product Discovery — Discover Requirements from Stakeholders

Discover product requirements from human stakeholders — map who to talk to, ask questions that surface hidden assumptions, detect gaps in real time, resolve conflicts, and translate conversations into structured specs.

## Why Install This Skill

When your agent loads this skill, it becomes a **product discovery specialist** — Phase 0 upstream of any spec-driven development pipeline. That means:

- **Map stakeholders** — identify who to interview and in what order
- **Design question stacks** — open questions that discover, not closed questions that validate
- **Detect hidden gaps** — recognize what stakeholders aren't saying
- **Resolve conflicts** — surface unstated differences in assumptions, risk tolerance, or incentives
- **Distill into specs** — convert raw interview notes into structured spec input
- **Handle AI-conducted discovery** — account for sycophancy and trust dynamics
