Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
The opportunity-solution-trees skill helps AI agents map product problems to potential fixes by generating structured Opportunity Solution Trees (OSTs). It visualizes the relationship between customer needs, specific opportunities, and the various solutions that address them.
When to use it
- Brainstorming initial product ideas from vague customer feedback or market research.
- Structuring complex problem spaces where multiple solutions might exist for a single opportunity.
- Validating whether proposed features actually align with identified customer needs.
- Creating a roadmap for prioritizing which opportunities to pursue based on solution feasibility.
Key capabilities
- Generates hierarchical tree structures connecting problems, opportunities, and solutions.
- Facilitates systematic exploration of product strategy without requiring manual diagramming.
- Helps organize unstructured brainstorming sessions into actionable frameworks.
Example prompts
- "Create an Opportunity Solution Tree for a mobile banking app where users struggle to find their transaction history."
- "Map out the opportunities and solutions for improving customer retention in a SaaS subscription model."
- "Generate an OST starting with the problem that 'customers feel overwhelmed by too many choices' in an e-commerce setting."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure you provide clear context about the specific product domain or user base, as the AI needs this to generate relevant opportunities. This tool is best used iteratively; start with a high-level tree and drill down into specific branches for deeper analysis rather than trying to solve every problem at once.
