What problem does it solve? Teams often jump straight into building solutions before confirming the problem is real, leading to wasted effort on unclear scope, conflicting stakeholder needs, and weak product evidence. This Skill structures the discovery phase so users, outcomes, constraints, and success metrics are explicit before any specification begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Problem Validation: Separates observed problems from assumptions and proposed solutions using structured interview and research techniques. - Discovery Brief Generation: Produces an approved brief covering target users, jobs and pain points, desired outcomes, alternatives, constraints, non-goals, assumptions, risks, and measurable success criteria. - Bounded Scope Control: Stops at problem acceptance rather than inventing a solution, keeping discovery distinct from product specification. - Use Case: You have an empty-folder product idea with conflicting stakeholder input. Use this Skill to interview stakeholders, gather evidence, and deliver an approved discovery brief that the team can confidently hand off to specification. ## Quick Start Use $agentic-engineering-discovery to clarify the product problem and desired outcomes for my new project idea.
