Exploring Mcp Tool Original User Motive
Build a starting-point taxonomy for an MCP tool — what users were trying to accomplish before they reached the tool — and publish it as a PostHog notebook. Reconstructs each session's goal from its opening tool calls, then clusters those goals into named categories with size, share, and facet mix. Use when the user asks "why do people use this tool?", "what are users actually trying to do?", "what problem brings people here?", "where do these sessions start?", "segment usage of <tool> by goal", or wants a Clio-style taxonomy of MCP usage. Complements exploring-mcp-intent-clusters, which groups what agents did per call rather than why the session began. The agent running this skill writes the goal labels itself, reading the corpus query output session by session — the bundled scripts cover the mechanical facets but measurably lose the goal's altitude, so do not delegate that field to them.

From the source SKILL.md
$mcp_intent records the action an agent was taking at the moment of a call ("create a notebook titled Q3 funnel review"). It does not record the goal the person started with ("investigate a conversion drop"). That goal is never written to any property — it has to be reconstructed from the shape of the session's opening calls.
What this skill does
Exploring Mcp Tool Original User Motive is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the ai-tooling sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/exploring-mcp-tool-original-user-motive/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user asks "why do people use this tool?", "what are users actually trying to do?", "what problem brings people here?", "where do these sessions start?", "segment usage of <tool> by goal", or wants a Clio-style taxonomy of MCP usage. Complements exploring-mcp-intent-clusters, which groups what agents did per call rather than why the session began.
