What problem does it solve? Teams often build products, features, or internal tools based on polite opinions and hypothetical interest rather than evidence of real pain. This Skill stress-tests any idea against The Mom Test principles, separating facts from guesses and producing behavior-based validation plans before any code is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Hypothesis Extraction: Reads your idea, interview notes, tickets, PRD, or roadmap and extracts the user, friction, current workaround, risky assumptions, and existing evidence. - Question Rewriting: Classifies draft questions as keep, rewrite, or drop, and converts leading or hypothetical questions into behavior-based ones. - Validation Artifacts: Produces a 20-30 minute interview guide, a 6-10 question survey with a screener, and concrete go/no-go decision criteria. - Use Case: Before building a new dashboard feature, paste your PRD and get a critique of weak assumptions, an interview guide focused on recent real behavior, and thresholds like "at least 3 of 5 interviewees describe the same workaround unprompted." ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to validate your idea with the Mom Test skill, pasting your idea description or PRD and specifying whether you want interviews, a survey, or both.
