At a glance
Builds an Opportunity Solution Tree from a stakeholder request: a measurable outcome, customer-problem opportunities, candidate solutions, tests and a proof-of-concept pick.
- A stakeholder asks for a feature and you need to find the underlying problem first
- SKILL.md covers Purpose, Input, Key Concepts and Application, plus 5 more sections
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
- Turning a business goal into candidate opportunities and tests
What it does
This skill guides product managers through Teresa Torres's Opportunity Solution Tree, which links a desired outcome to opportunities (customer problems or needs), solutions for each opportunity and experiments to test them. It starts from a stakeholder request or a target outcome, extracts a measurable outcome, generates several opportunity options and maps possible solutions before choosing a proof of concept on feasibility, impact and market fit.
The purpose is to turn a vague ask into structured discovery and to avoid feature-factory thinking and early commitment to one idea. It is not a roadmap generator, and opportunities must be problems rather than features in disguise. You can arrive with only a request, or add customer evidence, constraints and solutions already being pushed; anything given at invocation counts as an answer, so it is not asked again. A template and a sample file are included.
When your agent uses it
- A stakeholder asks for a feature and you need to find the underlying problem first
- Turning a business goal into candidate opportunities and tests
- Picking a proof of concept among several solution ideas
Example prompts
- “Build an OST from this request: sales wants a mobile app because competitors have one.”
- “Our goal is to cut onboarding drop-off. Map opportunities, solutions and experiments.”
- “Use the customer interview notes I pasted to find opportunities and pick a proof of concept.”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b5a524. 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 (its code samples are markdown).
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
Opportunity Solution Tree Builder loads about 4.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,821 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,821 words (~4,495 tokens).
