Abdielou Discovery Skill

Run structured discovery and first-principles sessions with an agent before you lock scope or architecture.

Overview

abdielou-discovery-skill is a plugin marketplace for the Idea phase that adds guided discovery sessions, first-principles decomposition, and persistent facilitation notes to Claude Code.

What is this marketplace?

  • Guided discovery sessions with structured facilitation prompts
  • First-principles decomposition of problems and constraints
  • Persistent notes across sessions for agent continuity
  • Single discovery plugin (v1.2.0) in the marketplace bundle
  • Fits pre-build ideation without replacing a full PRD workflow

Compatible agents: Claude Code, any compatible agent

What problem does it solve?

You have a fuzzy product direction and no repeatable way to unpack assumptions with your coding agent before you start building the wrong thing.

Who is it for?

Solo builders who want a lightweight discovery ritual inside Claude Code before scope, prototype, or architecture work.

Skip if: Teams that already run formal discovery workshops in Notion or need automated market or competitor data collection.

What do I get? / Deliverables

You finish discovery sessions with structured notes and clearer problem boundaries you can hand to validation, planning, or build workflows.

  • Structured discovery session transcripts and facilitation outputs
  • First-principles decomposition notes reusable in later phases
  • Persistent context the agent can reload on follow-up sessions

Recommended Marketplaces

Journey fit

Discovery and facilitated decomposition belong on the Idea shelf because that is when solo builders explore problems before committing to build. The discover subphase covers exploratory framing and note-taking that precedes competitor research and validation artifacts.

How it compares

Facilitation-focused plugin marketplace, not an MCP data server or a single codegen skill.
