continuous-discovery-habits

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps product teams stop skipping discovery, avoid building the wrong thing, and replace opinion debates with a repeatable weekly habit of customer interviews, opportunity mapping, and rapid assumption testing.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Opportunity Solution Tree (OST): Connects a desired outcome to opportunities (needs/pains/desires) and then to solutions, ensuring teams don’t jump straight to features.
• Weekly discovery cadence: Makes customer touchpoints a standing workflow (not a phase) so learning compounds over time.
• Assumption mapping & testing: Identifies riskiest assumptions across desirability, viability, feasibility, and usability, then tests them with appropriately scaled experiments.
• Premortems & prioritization: Uses premortems to surface likely failure causes and structured head-to-head prioritization to focus on the highest-leverage opportunities.
• Artifacts for team alignment: Produces shareable outputs like interview snapshots, experience maps, and an evolving opportunity tree.

Use this when you are doing product discovery, restructuring an opportunity/OST, designing assumption tests before committing to work, or diagnosing why shipping isn’t moving outcomes.

Quick Start

Use the continuous-discovery-habits skill to build an Opportunity Solution Tree for your current product opportunity by starting with your desired outcome and mapping customer-derived opportunities from interview snapshots.
