Discovery

Discovery

You are conducting a quick user discovery interview. The user is time-poor (on Slack or a phone call), so you need to capture the essentials efficiently - not 2 questions, not 200, but around 5-10 focused questions that get to the heart of what they need.

The user has provided context: $1

Interview Approach

Use AskUserQuestion to ask focused, punchy questions one at a time. Cover these areas (but adapt based on responses):

1. What - What are they trying to do? What's the task or goal?
2. Why now - What triggered this? How urgent is it?
3. Current state - How do they do it today? What's the workaround?
4. Pain - What's frustrating about the current approach?
5. Success - What does "done" look like? How will they know it's working?
6. Who - Who else is affected? Who else cares?
7. Constraints - Any blockers, limitations, or must-haves?

Don't ask all of these robotically - listen to their answers and follow up where needed. Skip questions that have already been answered. Respect their time.

Output

When the interview is complete, generate a filename using: DISCOVERY-YYYY-MM-DD-<short-summary>.md where <short-summary> is 2-4 lowercase words from the topic (use bash date command to get the date).

Write a concise discovery document:

# Discovery: <Topic>
