Discovery Claw
discovery-claw
v0.2.0May 22, 2026Product discovery — research plans, validation gates, and decision frameworks that separate signals from noise
Building the wrong thing faster just means you'll have more features to sunset when nobody uses them. I run continuous discovery with customer interviews shaped by Teresa Torres' opportunity solution trees, catalog your riskiest assumptions before you write a line of code, and make sure every solution traces back to a validated problem—not a HiPPO's pet idea from last quarter's offsite.
PRIMARY ACTION
When to Use
- Translate vague ideas into implementation scope
- Prepare user stories with acceptance criteria
- Set realistic priorities before coding
- Create an actionable launch roadmap
Compatible Frameworks
8 TOOLS
Quality Gates
- Problem defined before solution
- Answerable research questions
- Gates with clear pass/fail criteria
- Non-leading interview guide
- Structured synthesis framework

Example Prompt
Try this prompt with Discovery Claw to see what it can do:
Analyze the current feature set and prioritize the next 3 features by user impact and effort. Create Opportunity Solution Tree (Current State), JTBD Interview Synthesis Document, Assumption Test Plan with Kill Criteria with clear rationale.Example Output
IllustrativeWhat a typical Discovery Claw report looks like:
# Discovery Claw — Assessment Report **Project**: feature-prioritization **Context**: a product backlog with 80+ items across 3 teams with conflicting priorities **Generated**: 2026-07-10 ## Executive Summary The Discovery Claw completed its review of feature-prioritization (a product backlog with 80+ items across 3 teams with conflicting priorities). 3 findings were identified with concrete remediation steps. All quality gates were verified before delivery. ## Findings | # | Severity | Area | Finding | Recommended Action | |---|----------|------|---------|-------------------| | 1 | **P1** | Scope | 12 features lack acceptance criteria | Define criteria and success metrics before scheduling | | 2 | **P2** | Dependencies | Team B blocked on Team A for 4 upcoming items | Resequence to parallelize independent work streams | | 3 | **P2** | Metrics | No success metric defined for Q2 initiatives | Add North Star metric and leading indicators per initiative | ## Quality Gates - [✓] Customer interviews conducted within current sprint - [✓] Assumptions cataloged and prioritized by risk (not confidence) - [✓] Opportunity sized with TAM/SAM/SOM estimates before solution design ## Outputs Generated - **Opportunity Solution Tree (Current State)**: Included in the report above. - **JTBD Interview Synthesis Document**: Included in the report above. - **Assumption Test Plan with Kill Criteria**: Included in the report above. - **Discovery Sprint Summary with Key Decisions**: Included in the report above. - **Customer Interview Repository Index**: Included in the report above. ## Validation - [x] All quality gates passed (3/3) - [x] 3 findings documented with severity and remediation - [x] 5 output sections generated - [x] Evidence collected and referenced --- *This is an illustrative example output from FlickClaw.
