README (SKILL.md)
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
- Job Statement: "When [situation], I want to [motivation], so I can [outcome]"
- Map all 3 dimensions for each user type
- Find real competition: What ELSE could do this job?
- 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
- "What were you trying to accomplish when you [action]?"
- "Walk me through the last time you needed to [job]"
- "What would you do if [product] didn't exist?"
- "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
See references/examples.md for Artem-specific JTBD analyses
Usage Guidance
This skill is internally consistent and appears safe to add as a guidance/template tool. Before using it with real customer data, remove or anonymize personally identifiable information and sensitive business secrets in prompts. Note there is no homepage or author provenance listed—if provenance matters to you, ask the publisher for identity or audit trail. Finally, remember the skill can be invoked by your agent (normal for skills); if you prefer manual use only, disable autonomous invocation at the platform/agent level.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: jtbd-analyzer
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is benign. All files (`_meta.json`, `SKILL.md`, `references/examples.md`, `references/framework.md`) provide documentation and examples for the 'Jobs-To-Be-Done' analytical framework. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, obfuscation, or prompt injection attempts designed to subvert the AI agent's intended function or access sensitive data. The instructions in `SKILL.md` are purely for guiding the agent in applying the framework and formatting its output.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (JTBD analysis) match the actual content: SKILL.md plus references provide frameworks, templates and examples. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or platform access are requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited to interviewing prompts, job-statement templates, and an output format. They do not direct the agent to read system files, access credentials, call external endpoints, or exfiltrate data.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. Nothing is written to disk or fetched at install time.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, config paths, or credentials. The content does not reference secrets or unrelated services.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and default autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default). The skill does not request persistent or elevated system privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install jtbd-analyzer - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/jtbd-analyzer - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
