Find the real problem behind a feature request before anyone scopes a solution — whose job is stuck, what evidence exists already, and what observation would prove the assumption wrong. Use when a request arrives phrased as a solution ("add a dashboard", "we need notifications"), when a team is about to build on a belief nobody has checked, or when asked whether something is worth building at all. Not for writing the spec once the problem is settled, not for ranking work that is already…

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

# Product discovery

A feature request is an answer. Discovery is recovering the question it answers, and finding out
whether the question is real. Most of the evidence you need already exists and nobody has read it.

## When this fires

A request names a solution and not a problem; a plan rests on a belief about users that has never
been checked; someone asks whether a thing is worth building. It does not fire when the problem
and its evidence are already established and the job is to write the scope — that is
`prd-and-stories`.

## Procedure

1. **Split the request into solution and problem.** Write the request verbatim, then write the
   sentence under it: who is trying to do what, and what happens today instead. If you cannot
   write that second sentence from what you were given, that gap is the finding — say so before
   going further.
2. **Name the person and the job.** A named role doing a specific task on a specific occasion
   ("a support agent closing a ticket after a refund"), not a segment. Ask who is *not* affected
   too — a problem everyone allegedly has usually belongs to nobody in particular.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nahid-sparktales/agent-dispatcher/product-discovery@sha256:167ba3bb9e5f3cfd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.a0d4f55, 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.
