client-discovery
Run a consulting client discovery session — uncover the real problem, scope, and decision process. Use when asked to prepare for a client discovery call, qualify a consulting lead, scope an engagement, or run a kickoff. Produces a discovery plan — the questions that surface the real problem (not the stated one), budget/authority/timeline qualifiers, success criteria, red flags, and a follow-up that leads to a proposal.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Client Discovery Skill The brief a client gives you is rarely the real problem — and the difference is where good consulting (and accurate scoping) lives. This skill preps a discovery session that gets beneath the stated ask to the actual problem, qualifies whether it's a fit (budget, authority, timeline), and pins the success criteria — so you scope and price accurately and write a proposal that lands. ## Required Inputs Ask for these only if they aren't already provided: - **The prospect** — who they are, the stated ask, and how they found you. - **Your offering** — what you do, so questions probe fit. - **What you need to decide** — go/no-go, scope, and price. ## Output Format ### Discovery Plan: [prospect] **1. The goal of the call** — qualify + uncover the real problem + earn the right to propose. Not to pitch. **2. Get to the real problem** — questions that move past the symptom to the cause and the stakes: - "What made this a priority *now*?" · "What have you already tried?" · "What happens if you do nothing?" · "How will you know this is solved?" · "Who else is affected / involved?" - Use **5-whys-style** follow-ups to reach the root, not the presenting issue. **3.
