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.

FAQPage Schema
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.
