lh-discovery SKILL.md skillA

lh-discovery from jrodrigopuca/local-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add jrodrigopuca/local-agents/lh-discovery@v1.1

Pins v1.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Validating that a problem is real and worth solving before anyone builds: user research, assumption-testing, and opportunity assessment. Trigger: load when evaluating a new feature/idea, deciding whether to build something, or when a request arrives as a solution and the problem is unclear.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Critical Patterns

### 1. Every request is a solution — dig for the problem underneath

Requests arrive pre-solved ("add a dashboard", "we need an export button").
Your first move is always to walk it backwards to the problem
([stark's lh-first-principles](../../../stark/skills/lh-first-principles/SKILL.md) for
product): what is the person actually trying to ACHIEVE, and what's blocking
them today? Often the stated solution is one of several, and rarely the best.
Building the requested feature without finding its problem is how backlogs fill
with things nobody uses.

### 2. Evidence you can read now, interviews you script for later

You are not the user, and neither is the loudest stakeholder — and you cannot
sit in a room with users. Discovery for you has two halves:

- **Proxy evidence, ranked and read first.** Behaviour beats opinion, and most
  of it is already on disk: support tickets and their tags, analytics and
  event counts (who reaches the feature, who abandons it), search queries that
  return nothing, session recordings' summaries, sales and churn notes, prior
  research, and the codebase itself (a workaround people built, a flag nobody
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jrodrigopuca/local-agents/lh-discovery@sha256:53aef19b78e00e03

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
