description: Run a full product discovery cycle — from ideation through assumption mapping to experiment design
argument-hint: "<product or feature idea>"
---
# /discover -- Full Discovery Cycle
Run a structured product discovery process that moves from divergent thinking to focused validation. This command chains multiple skills into a single end-to-end workflow.
## Invocation
```
/discover Smart notification system for our project management tool
/discover New product: AI writing assistant for non-native speakers
/discover # asks what you're discovering
```
## Workflow
### Step 1: Understand the Discovery Context
Determine whether this is:
- **Existing product** — continuous discovery on a known product with real users
- **New product** — initial discovery for a concept without validated demand
Ask the user:
- What are you exploring? (product idea, feature area, opportunity space)
- What do you already know? (prior research, customer feedback, data)
- What decisions will this discovery inform? (build/kill, prioritize, pivot)
Accept context from uploaded files (research, PRDs, transcripts, data), links, or conversation.
### Step 2: Brainstorm Ideas (Divergent Phase)
Apply the **brainstorm-ideas-existing** or **brainstorm-ideas-new** skill:
- Generate ideas from PM, Designer, and Engineer perspectives
- Present the top 10 ideas with brief rationale
- Ask the user to select 3-5 ideas to carry forward, or accept all
**Checkpoint**: "Here are 10 ideas. Which ones should we stress-test? Pick 3-5, or I can carry all forward."
### Step 3: Identify Assumptions (Critical Thinking Phase)
For each selected idea, apply the **identify-assumptions-existing** or **identify-assumptions-new** skill:
- Surface assumptions across risk categories:
- **Value**: Will users want this?
- **Usability**: Can users figure it out?
- **Feasibility**: Can we build it?
- **Viability**: Does the business case work?
- **Go-to-Market** (new products only): Can we reach and convert users?
- Use devil's advocate multi-perspective analysis
- Compile a master list of all assumptions across all ideas
### Step 4: Prioritize Assumptions (Focus Phase)
Apply the **prioritize-assumptions** skill:
- Map assumptions on an Impact × Risk matrix
- Identify the "leap of faith" assumptions — high impact, high uncertainty
- Rank assumptions by test priority
- Group related assumptions that can be tested together
**Checkpoint**: "Here are your riskiest assumptions. Which ones feel most critical to validate first?"
### Step 5: Design Experiments (Validation Phase)
For the top-priority assumptions, apply **brainstorm-experiments-existing** or **brainstorm-experiments-new** skill:
- Design 1-2 experiments per critical assumption
- For existing products: A/B tests, fake doors, prototypes, user tests, data analysis
- For new products: XYZ hypotheses, pretotypes, landing pages, concierge MVPs
- Include success criteria, timeline, and effort for each
- Sequence experiments by dependency and effort
### Step 6: Create Discovery Plan
Compile everything into a discovery plan document:
```
## Discovery Plan: [Topic]
**Date**: [today]
**Product Stage**: [existing/new]
**Discovery Question**: [what we're trying to learn]
### Ideas Explored
[Summary of brainstormed ideas with brief descriptions]
### Selected Ideas for Validation
[3-5 ideas carried forward with rationale]
### Critical Assumptions
| # | Assumption | Category | Impact | Uncertainty | Priority |
|---|-----------|----------|--------|-------------|----------|
### Validation Experiments
| # | Tests Assumption | Method | Success Criteria | Effort | Timeline |
|---|-----------------|--------|-----------------|--------|----------|
### Experiment Details
[For each experiment: hypothesis, setup, measurement, decision criteria]
### Discovery Timeline
Week 1: [experiments]
Week 2: [experiments]
Week 3: [analysis and decision]
### Decision Framework
- If [experiment] succeeds → proceed to [next step]
- If [experiment] fails → [pivot/kill/investigate further]
```
Save the plan as a markdown file to the user's workspace.
### Step 7: Offer Next Steps
- "Want me to **create a PRD** for the top idea?"
- "Should I **design an interview script** to supplement these experiments?"
- "Want me to **set up metrics** to track the experiments?"
- "Should I **estimate effort** and create user stories for the MVP?"
## Notes
- This is a 15-30 minute structured workflow — let the user know upfront
- At each checkpoint, the user can redirect, skip, or go deeper
- If the user has research data, pull insights from it before brainstorming
- The discovery plan should be a living document — offer to update it as experiments run
- For new products, emphasize desirability validation before feasibility
- For existing products, check if there's usage data that can inform assumptions
