Agent skill
ost
Use when running or maintaining an Opportunity Solution Tree (OST) workflow with a lightweight graph store and CLI. Provides a single entry skill that routes to outcome, opportunity, solution, and assumption/experiment phases via progressive disclosure.

OST
Run a full Opportunity Solution Tree workflow from a single skill, backed by a lightweight graph database and CLI.
Entry Flow (Minimize File Loading)
Goal: Start a session, pick a workspace, and select or create an outcome.
- Ensure DB exists
- If
.agr/ost.dbis missing, initialize it:uv run python scripts/ost.py init --path .agr/ost.db
- Select workspace
- List workspaces:
uv run python scripts/ost.py workspace list
- If needed, create one:
uv run python scripts/ost.py workspace create \"<name>\"
- Select outcome
- List outcomes:
uv run python scripts/ost.py outcome list --workspace <name>
- If needed, create one:
uv run python scripts/ost.py outcome add --workspace <name> \"<title>\"
- Route to phase (load only the relevant file)
- Outcomes:
references/outcomes.md - Opportunities:
references/opportunities.md - Solutions:
references/solutions.md - Assumptions/Experiments:
references/assumptions.md
Data Model + Storage
Use a lightweight graph DB at .agr/ost.db with multi-workspace support.
The CLI manages nodes and edges; do not edit DB files manually.
CLI
Use the CLI to read/write the OST graph. The CLI is expected to live in this skill’s scripts/ directory and be run via uv run.
Commands (intended):
uv run python scripts/ost.py init --path .agr/ost.dbuv run python scripts/ost.py workspace listuv run python scripts/ost.py workspace create "<name>"uv run python scripts/ost.py outcome list --workspace <name>uv run python scripts/ost.py outcome add --workspace <name> "<title>"uv run python scripts/ost.py opportunity add --outcome <id> "<title>"uv run python scripts/ost.py solution add --opportunity <id> "<title>"uv run python scripts/ost.py assumption add --solution <id> "<title>"uv run python scripts/ost.py show --outcome <id>
If the CLI is not yet implemented, document the intended command and proceed with non-destructive guidance only.
Output Format
## OST Session
### Selected Workspace
- Name: ...
### Selected Outcome
- ID: ...
- Title: ...
### Next Action
- [What the user wants to do next]
### Next Step
- Load the relevant phase reference file
What NOT to Do
- Do NOT edit
.agr/ost.dbdirectly. - Do NOT invent node IDs.
- Do NOT run destructive commands without explicit user intent.

migrate-to-skills
discover-assumptions
Use after solution concepts exist to surface and prioritize assumptions behind outcomes, opportunities, or solution ideas and design experiments to test them.
discover-opportunities
Use after outcomes are defined to discover opportunities, unmet needs, market gaps, or JTBD insights before choosing solutions.
discover-outcomes
Use at the start of product strategy to define or refine desired outcomes and success metrics (e.g., for Opportunity Solution Trees or continuous discovery) before selecting opportunities or solutions.
ideate-solutions
Use after opportunities are defined to generate and evaluate multiple product solution concepts before validating assumptions. Triggers when you need a set of distinct solution options tied to outcomes and opportunities.
