SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Product teams and researchers often struggle to design focused discovery interviews that surface real jobs-to-be-done, avoid re-asking validated findings, and translate conversation into actionable insights; this Skill structures interviews to maximize discovery while respecting prior research and time constraints.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context-aware guide generation: inspects PRDs, personas, and prior research to focus questions on gaps instead of repeating known findings.
  • JTBD-aligned structure: provides time-boxed opening, background, core JTBD probes, solution exploration, and closing with referral prompts.
  • Output & workflow integration: exports markdown interview guides to an outputs/ folder and links to synthesis and PRD workflows for downstream analysis.
  • Use Case: product managers preparing 45–60 minute discovery interviews to validate churn hypotheses or explore new feature demand.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to "Create a JTBD interview guide about [topic] for [participant role], testing the hypothesis that [hypothesis]" and include any relevant context or files.

How do I create a JTBD interview guide for user research?▼

To create a JTBD interview guide, provide a topic, participant role, and hypothesis. The tool generates a time-boxed markdown guide with JTBD probes, opening, and closing sections in minutes.

What is a jobs-to-be-done interview structure for product discovery?▼

A jobs-to-be-done interview structure organizes discovery sessions into time-boxed opening, background, core JTBD probes, solution exploration, and closing with referral prompts to surface real user jobs.

How do I generate discovery interview questions that avoid repeating prior research?▼

To generate discovery interview questions that avoid repeating prior research, input existing PRDs, personas, and research syntheses. The tool scans these to focus questions on knowledge gaps.

Can I use existing PRDs and personas to prepare a user research interview?▼

Yes, you can use existing PRDs and personas to prepare a user research interview. The system checks project context-library files to align questions with current validation and churn hypotheses.

What is the best way to structure a 45 to 60 minute discovery interview?▼

The best way to structure a 45 to 60 minute discovery interview is using a time-boxed markdown guide that allocates specific sections for background, core JTBD probes, and solution exploration.

How do I save and export a generated interview guide for downstream synthesis?▼

To save and export a generated interview guide, the tool writes the markdown file to an outputs folder, naming it by topic and date, and links directly to synthesis and PRD workflows for downstream analysis.
