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
