Discovery Loop
Use to turn a raw product idea into a ratified, build-ready decision brief — the upstream discovery loop run by the discovery-lead agent. Triggers on "scaffold the product vision for X", "run a discovery for X", "diverge on the product shape then converge to a brief", "take this idea to a decision brief", "resume the X discovery". It diverges across candidate product shapes, converges the chosen one through a research/product/UX/architecture/safety lens roster, pauses at the consent gates (G0 vision, G1.5 altitude/MVP, G2 the "what"), emits a connected hypothesis with validation hooks, and hands off to work-loop at G3 — with no new engine, scheduler, or service. Do NOT use to build a spec (use new-spec → work-loop), to ship one (the release loop), or to author one discovery artifact standalone (use frame-intent / frame-domain / explore-options directly).

From the source SKILL.md
Turn a raw product idea into a ratified, build-ready decision brief. This is the upstream loop — the peer of work-loop's downstream spec→build loop — run by the discovery-lead agent. It diverges across candidate product shapes, converges the chosen one through a lens roster, pauses at a few human sign-off points, and hands off to work-loop at G3 — with no new engine, scheduler, service, message bus, or convergence solver.
What this skill does
Discovery Loop is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the discovery sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/discovery-loop/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Discovery Loop Claude Code skill is built for product managers, product designers, and cross-functional teams planning, shipping, and measuring product features. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 152,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

When should I use the Discovery Loop skill?
Use Discovery Loop when your Claude Code task falls under the Product category — specifically in the discovery area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Discovery Loop" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/product/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Discovery Loop skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Discovery Loop is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Product category. Learn more at
