Jtbd Analyzer

Uncover the real "job" customers hire your product to do. Goes beyond features to understand functional, emotional, and social motivations. Use when user say...

Security Scan

This is an instruction-only Jobs‑To‑Be‑Done analysis skill whose declared behavior, requirements, and instructions align with its stated purpose and do not request system credentials or install code.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description match the SKILL.md content: guidance, templates, and example analyses for JTBD. The skill declares no binaries, env vars, or config paths and does not request access to unrelated services or resources.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md confines runtime behavior to asking JTBD questions, producing structured output, and showing examples. It does not instruct the agent to read local files, access credentials, or transmit data externally. It does reference integrating with other skills (e.g., first-principles-decomposer), which is a behavioral extension but is explicitly named and reasonable for this type of skill.

Install Mechanism

No install spec or code files that would be written to disk or executed; this instruction-only format is low risk and matches the skill's purpose.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables or credentials (proportionate). Note: example outputs and 'feature implications' mention capabilities like face recognition (product design guidance), which could imply handling sensitive user data if implemented — the skill itself does not request such access, but integrating it with other skills or product features might.

Persistence & Privilege

Flags show default behavior (not always:true, agent-invocable allowed). The skill does not request persistent or elevated privileges nor does it claim to modify other skills or system-wide settings.

Assessment

This skill appears internally coherent and low-risk because it's instruction-only and asks for no credentials. Before installing: 1) Verify the skill publisher/source (homepage is unknown) if provenance matters to you. 2) Be cautious when you combine this skill with others (the SKILL.md suggests integrations) — those other skills may request credentials or data access. 3) Do not provide sensitive user data (photos, PII, or credentials) into prompts unless you trust the downstream integrations. 4) If you plan to operationalize suggestions (e.g., face recognition), audit the concrete implementation and required permissions separately.

Jobs-To-Be-Done Analyzer

The Core Concept

Customers don't buy products. They HIRE products to do a job.

"People don't want a quarter-inch drill. They want a quarter-inch hole." Actually: They want a shelf → to display photos → to feel proud of family.

The Three Job Dimensions

Dimension	Question	Format
Functional	What task needs doing?	"Help me [verb] [object]"
Emotional	How do I want to feel?	"Make me feel [emotion]"
Social	How do I want to be seen?	"Help me be seen as [quality]"

The Process

1. Job Statement: "When [situation], I want to [motivation], so I can [outcome]"
2. Map all 3 dimensions for each user type
3. Find real competition: What ELSE could do this job?
4. Prioritize: Which jobs are most critical and underserved?

Output Format

PRODUCT: [What you're analyzing]

For [User Type]:
JOB: "When [situation], I want [motivation], so I can [outcome]"

📋 FUNCTIONAL: [Task to accomplish]
💜 EMOTIONAL: [Feeling desired]
👥 SOCIAL: [Perception desired]

ALTERNATIVES: [What else could do this job?]
UNDERSERVED: [What part isn't done well?]
PRIORITY: Critical / Important / Nice-to-have

Key Questions

1. "What were you trying to accomplish when you [action]?"
2. "Walk me through the last time you needed to [job]"
3. "What would you do if [product] didn't exist?"
4. "What's frustrating about how you currently [job]?"

Integration

Compounds with:

• first-principles-decomposer → Decompose job to atomic need
• cross-pollination-engine → Find how others solve similar jobs
• app-planning-skill → Use JTBD to inform features
