What problem does it solve? Product teams adopting Shape Up often write pitches that read like generic PRDs: missing appetite budgets, pixel-perfect mockups instead of fat-marker sketches, empty no-go sections, and vague risks masquerading as rabbit holes. This Skill encodes the authoring discipline from Ryan Singer's Shape Up so pitches survive the betting table and fit within a cycle. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-section pitch structure: Enforces the canonical Problem, Appetite, Solution, Rabbit Holes, and No-Gos sections, with concrete pass/fail examples for each. - Scope defense rules: Distinguishes rabbit holes (cuts inside the appetite) from no-gos (whole capabilities excluded), and treats cooldown as a first-class state that pitches must respect. - Review gates: Provides anti-patterns to refuse and a five-adjective test (clarity, structure, flexibility, actionability, stakeholder focus) for reviewers before approval. - Use Case: A PM drafting a CSV export pitch uses this Skill to set a Small-batch appetite, sketch the flow as a breadboard, name the configurability rabbit hole, and exclude mobile and API access as no-gos before the betting table. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to draft a Shape Up pitch for your feature idea with an appetite, fat-marker solution sketch, named rabbit holes, and explicit no-gos.
