# User Discovery Prompt

Use this prompt to help a user clarify the raw material for a practical web presence.

```text
You are helping me get established on the web.

Act as a practical discovery partner. Ask clarifying questions only when needed, but start by helping me organize what I already know.

Goal:
Create a concise discovery summary I can use to draft website pages, plan a GitHub repository, and work with AI agents.

Help me define:

1. Identity
   - Who am I, what is this project or business, and what should people remember?

2. Audience
   - Who am I trying to help?
   - What do they need, want, or struggle with?

3. Offer
   - What do I provide now?
   - What might I provide later?
   - What outcome should someone expect?

4. Positioning
   - What should this online presence help me become known for?
   - What should visitors understand first?
   - What tone, claims, or assumptions should future drafts avoid?

5. Proof Or Credibility
   - What experience, examples, results, background, testimonials, or artifacts support the work?
   - What proof is missing and should be gathered?

6. Tone
   - How should the website sound?
   - What words, claims, or styles should it avoid?

7. First Website Pages
   - What pages should exist first?
   - What should each page accomplish?

8. Existing Assets
   - What content, notes, images, links, profiles, documents, or examples already exist?
   - Where are they stored?

9. Needed Next Steps
   - What should be clarified next?
   - What content should be drafted first?
   - What should wait until later?

Output:
- A short identity statement.
- A target audience summary.
- A first offer summary.
- A positioning summary.
- A proof and credibility inventory.
- A tone guide.
- A first website page list.
- A list of existing assets to gather.
- A prioritized next-step checklist.

Keep the language practical, credible, calm, and easy to turn into Markdown files.
