SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps indie makers and product teams quickly determine whether a product or prototype has real demand, a defensible market position, and a feasible path to execution by running a structured, repeatable six-dimension assessment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Six-Dimension Evaluation: Assesses Demand Authenticity, Journey Completeness, Market Space, Business Viability, Moat, and Execution Quality with calibrated scoring anchors.
  • Local and External Targets: Reads local project docs/code or analyzes external apps via market scanning, merges reference calibration and platform-specific checks, and validates evaluator outputs.
  • Report Generation & Persistence: Produces a consolidated Markdown report, computes weighted totals, records history in docs/08-product-evaluation/, and generates prioritized next actions, kill criteria, and validation playbooks.
  • Use Case: An indie developer wants a defendable go/no-go recommendation and a prioritized validation plan for a mobile or web prototype before investing in a full release.

Quick Start

Use the evaluate skill to run a six-dimension product assessment on the project in the current directory and save the final evaluation report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate product viability and market fit for a prototype codebase?

To evaluate product viability and market fit, you can run a structured six-dimension assessment that analyzes local project docs or external apps, generating a consolidated report with weighted scores and a go/no-go recommendation.

What is a six-dimension product evaluation framework?

A six-dimension product evaluation framework assesses demand authenticity, journey completeness, market space, business viability, moat, and execution quality to determine if a prototype has real demand and a defensible market position.

How do I audit my indie app for demand and a defensible moat before launch?

You can audit an indie app for demand and a defensible moat by applying calibrated scoring anchors across six product dimensions, which produces prioritized next actions and a validation playbook for the prototype.

Can I assess an external web app's market position using local codebase evaluation tools?

Yes, you can assess an external web app's market position alongside local codebases by utilizing web market scanning for external targets and reading README and code files for local projects.

What is the best way to generate a go/no-go validation playbook for a software product?

The best way to generate a validation playbook is to run a product assessment workflow that computes weighted totals across demand, market, business, and execution dimensions, outputting kill criteria and prioritized next actions to a Markdown report.

Does product evaluation require access to project files or a target URL?

Yes, product evaluation requires access to local project files or a target URL to perform the assessment, along with permission to save Markdown reports in the project's documentation directory.
