jtbdJobs to Be Done analysis to understand what customers really want.
Jtbd is an agent skill from neurofoo/agent-skills. Jobs to Be Done analysis to understand what customers really want. Use for product discovery, competitive analysis, or understanding why customers hire/fire solutions.
Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `commands/jobs.md`, `commands/jtbd.md` and `references/examples.md`).
It sits in Product & Project Management, covering User stories and Competitor analysis. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for Claude Code and OpenCode. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0e7ac2a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Jtbd loads about 754 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 320 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.
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.

Jobs to Be Done analysis to understand what customers really want. Jtbd is an agent skill from neurofoo/agent-skills. Jobs to Be Done analysis to understand what customers really want.
Jtbd fits situations like: product discovery; competitive analysis; understanding why customers hire/fire solutions.
Run `npx skills add neurofoo/agent-skills --skill jtbd -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (jtbd in neurofoo/agent-skills) into .claude/skills/jtbd in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add neurofoo/agent-skills --skill jtbd -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (jtbd in neurofoo/agent-skills) into .agents/skills/jtbd in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add neurofoo/agent-skills --skill jtbd -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/jtbd, .gemini/skills/jtbd, .github/skills/jtbd and .opencode/skills/jtbd in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Jtbd is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Jtbd is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 754 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 2.3k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Jtbd: 09 Customer Insight Global (minhnv0807/ai-business-skills, 608 stars), Product Discovery (majiayu000/spellbook, 286 stars), Market Researcher (FerroxLabs/wayland, 608 stars) and User Story Writer (deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills, 7.2k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
