What it does

Discovery Question Generator is an agent skill from zanecole10/software-tailor-skills. Generate 30-50 deep discovery questions for any business type to uncover hidden pain points, workflow bottlenecks, and $15K+ software opportunities during client conversations.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Requirements gathering. The repository describes itself as: 15 Claude Skills for building a K+ software tailoring business. Find clients, price projects, build fast, and scale revenue using AI code generation.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Requirements gathering

Example prompts

  • “/discovery-question-generator”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Business Type - Industry or niche (e.g., "fire inspection company", "personal training gym", "dental practice")
  2. Optional Context - Any specific pain points you already know about

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit afd0b74. 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

Discovery Question Generator loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,979 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,979 words (~3,644 tokens).

“Uncover the real problems businesses are willing to pay $15K+ to solve.”
