What problem does it solve?
Founders and builders frequently waste time building solutions for problems no one actually has, because they skip rigorous validation of demand and problem severity before writing code. This skill eliminates that risk by enforcing structured product interrogation and design planning before any implementation begins.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Dual operating modes: Startup diagnostic mode for founders and intrapreneurs with six forcing questions to test demand, status quo, user specificity, narrowest wedge, user observation, and future product fit; builder mode for side projects, hackathons, and learning with enthusiastic brainstorming to refine ideas.
- Structured design doc output: Produces a clear, actionable design document instead of code, so you have a validated plan to reference before building.
- Use case: Use it when you have a new product idea and aren't sure if it's worth building, when preparing for a hackathon and need to narrow your scope fast, or when you want to think through design decisions before investing time in development.
