/discover — Product Discovery Workflow

Structured product discovery from problem to validated experiments.

Structured product discovery from problem to validated experiments.

What It Does

Chains together Opportunity Solution Trees, assumption testing, and experiment design to take you from a product idea to validated next steps.

When to Use

  • New product or feature idea that needs structured discovery
  • Customer problem that could be solved multiple ways
  • Need to validate assumptions before building
  • Want to map opportunities to outcomes

Workflow

  1. Build an Opportunity Solution Tree — Map desired outcome → customer opportunities → solution ideas → experiments (uses opportunity-solution-trees skill)

  2. Identify Assumptions — Surface risky assumptions across Value, Usability, Viability, Feasibility (uses trustworthy-experiments skill)

  3. Prioritize Assumptions — Rank by impact × risk (uses feature-prioritization-assistant skill)

  4. Design Experiments — Create fast, cheap tests for top assumptions (uses trustworthy-experiments skill)

Usage

/discover [product idea or problem statement]

Example:

/discover AI-powered meeting summarizer for remote teams

Output

  • Complete Opportunity Solution Tree
  • Prioritized list of risky assumptions
  • 3-5 experiment designs with success criteria
  • Suggested next steps

Next Steps After /discover

  • /strategy — Define positioning and strategic narrative
  • /write-prd — Document the validated solution
  • Run the top experiments and return with learnings
