What problem does it solve?
Founders and builders frequently waste time and resources building products that lack real market demand, or skip critical problem validation before writing any code. This skill eliminates that risk by enforcing rigorous, YC-style product interrogation to ensure you are solving a real problem for real users before any implementation begins.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Dual-mode operation: Startup diagnostic mode for founders and intrapreneurs, with six forcing questions to validate demand, status quo, target user, minimum viable wedge, user observation, and future product fit.
- Builder brainstorm mode: Enthusiastic, collaborative guidance for side projects, hackathons, learning projects, and open source work to help you find the most exciting, deliverable version of your idea.
- Use cases: Use when you have a new product idea, are asked "is this worth building", want to prepare for YC office hours, or need to think through design decisions before writing any code.
