A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

A Jobs to be Done (JTBD) canvas captures the complete picture of why customers "hire" products to make progress in their lives. Based on Clayton Christensen's framework, JTBD goes beyond features and demographics to understand the underlying motivations.functional, emotional, and social.that drive customer behavior.
foundation-persona; the canvas captures the job, the persona captures the persondiscover-interview-synthesis; the canvas's insights must trace to research, not assumptionsdefine-problem-statementdefine-opportunity-treeWhen asked to create a JTBD canvas, follow these steps:
Define who is doing this job. Go beyond demographics to capture the circumstance they're in. The same person can have different jobs in different situations.
Describe when and where this job arises. Jobs are triggered by specific situations. Understanding context helps predict when customers will seek a solution.
Use the format: "When [situation], I want to [motivation], so I can [desired outcome]." The job statement captures the core progress the customer seeks.
What is the practical task the customer needs to accomplish? This is the tangible, measurable part of the job. Be specific about what "done" looks like.
How does the customer want to feel during and after the job? Emotional jobs often drive decisions more than functional ones. Include both desired feelings and feelings to avoid.
How does the customer want to be perceived by others? Social jobs relate to status, identity, and relationships. Not all jobs have strong social dimensions.
What are customers currently "hiring" to do this job? Include direct competitors, indirect alternatives, and non-consumption (doing nothing). Understanding current solutions reveals what to compete against.
What makes customers choose one solution over another? What are the "must haves" vs. "nice to haves"? This informs positioning and prioritization.
Use the template in references/TEMPLATE.md to structure the output. A complete canvas fills every template section: Job Overview; Job Performer; The Circumstance; Job Statement; Functional Job; Emotional Job; Social Job; Competing Solutions; Hiring Criteria; Insights and Implications; Supporting Quotes; and Questions for Further Research.
