What it does

Lamina Product Discovery is an agent skill from aryaniyaps/lamina. Frame product problems and decide what to build. Use when establishing business context, aligning actors with conflicting goals, discovering or prioritizing features, defining traceable requirements, comparing consequential tradeoffs, or recording a product decision. Use lamina-ux for interaction details and lamina-product-behavior for authoritative runtime rules.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files (for example `references/business-context.md`, `references/decision-making.md` and `references/feature-discovery.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management. The repository describes itself as: Headless product design for AI coding agents, backed by a transactional product graph | Design how it works, verify what you ship. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Establishing business context
  • Aligning actors with conflicting goals
  • Prioritizing features
  • Defining traceable requirements

Example prompts

  • “/lamina-product-discovery”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Match the request's primary product decision to one row below.
  2. Open that linked reference before answering. Add another only when a second
  3. Start the response with Using lamina-product-discovery: so

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit af269ef. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Lamina Product Discovery loads about 688 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 261 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~98
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~688
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Reference-loading protocol

  1. Match the request's primary product decision to one row below.
  2. Open that linked reference before answering. Add another only when a second decision materially changes the answer; do not preload the directory.
  3. Start the response with Using lamina-product-discovery: <topic path(s)> so the selected decision lens is auditable.

Working rule

Use the smallest sufficient reference set. Common sequences are problem framing then feature discovery, and tradeoffs then decision making. Business Context is for establishing or updating the durable foundation, not every feature choice. Preserve permissions, states, failures, recovery, relationships, and evidence limits.
