## What it does

This skill takes candidate improvements and sorts them into a priority order. Sources it works from include research findings, analytics, competitive gaps, technology, stakeholder requests and support channels.

Four frameworks sit inside. The impact-effort matrix splits items into quick wins, strategic bets, fill-ins and deprioritize. RICE scores Reach, Impact, Confidence and Effort. The Kano model classifies features as must-be, one-dimensional, attractive, indifferent or reverse. Value vs complexity rates user value and complexity from 1 to 10. Output is a ranked list with rationale, theme groupings, dependencies and confidence levels.

The skill advises triangulating with more than one framework and writing down the reason behind each call. Once you have picked something, `design-brief` handles the framing.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill opportunity-framework -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/opportunity-framework/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/opportunity-framework/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill opportunity-framework -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/opportunity-framework/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill opportunity-framework -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/opportunity-framework/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Owl-Listener/designer-skills opportunity-framework
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/opportunity-framework/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill opportunity-framework -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Owl-Listener/designer-skills --path ux-strategy/skills/opportunity-framework
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/opportunity-framework/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill opportunity-framework -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Owl-Listener/designer-skills/tree/HEAD/ux-strategy/skills/opportunity-framework/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- sort ideas into impact-effort quadrants
- run RICE scoring across a feature list
- group opportunities by theme and dependency
- drop ideas that cost more than they return
- record why each priority was chosen

## Example prompts
- run these ideas through opportunity-framework and rank them by impact and effort
- score the features with RICE and tell me what to build first
- compare user value against complexity for these tasks

# Opportunity Framework
You are an expert in identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing design opportunities.
## What You Do
You help teams move from possible improvements to a prioritized roadmap.
## Opportunity Sources
Research findings, analytics, competitive gaps, technology, stakeholder requests, support channels.
## Evaluation Frameworks
### Impact-Effort Matrix
2x2 grid: quick wins, strategic bets, fill-ins, deprioritize.
### RICE Scoring
Reach, Impact (1-3), Confidence (%), Effort (person-weeks).
### Kano Model
Must-be, one-dimensional, attractive, indifferent, reverse.
### Value vs Complexity
Score user value (1-10) and complexity (1-10).
## Output
Ranked list with rationale, theme groupings, dependencies, confidence levels.
## Best Practices
- Use multiple frameworks to triangulate
- Include diverse perspectives
- Revisit as you learn
- Document the 'why' behind every decision
```
