SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams often build features without validating the underlying need, wasting effort on ideas that lack product-market fit. This Skill forces structured thinking about the "why" before writing code, turning vague ideas into actionable specs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Product Diagnostic: Runs a YC-office-hours-style questionnaire covering target user, pain quantification, MVP scope, anti-goals, and success metrics, then outputs a PRODUCT-BRIEF.md with a go/no-go recommendation. - Founder Review: Reads your README, CLAUDE.md, package.json, and commit history to score product-market fit signals and identify the one change that would 10x the project. - User Journey Audit: Walks through onboarding as a new user, documents friction points, times each step, and recommends the top three fixes. - Feature Prioritization: Scores candidate features with an ICE framework (impact × confidence ÷ effort) and outputs a ranked roadmap. - Use Case: Before starting a new feature, run the diagnostic mode to produce a PRODUCT-BRIEF.md that your team can review and approve before any code is written. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run a product diagnostic on your current project idea and generate a PRODUCT-BRIEF.md with a go/no-go recommendation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a product idea before building it?

Run the Product Diagnostic mode, which asks seven structured questions about target user, pain severity, timing, MVP scope, anti-goals, and success metrics. It outputs a PRODUCT-BRIEF.md with risks and a go/no-go recommendation.

How to prioritize features when I have too many ideas?

Use the Feature Prioritization mode, which scores each candidate feature on impact, confidence, and effort using the ICE framework. It then applies constraints like runway and team size to produce a ranked roadmap with rationale.

What is a user journey audit for onboarding?

A user journey audit installs your product as a new user would, documents every friction point and error, times each step, and compares against competitor onboarding. It scores time-to-value and recommends the top three onboarding fixes.

Can this skill review an existing project for product-market fit?

Yes, the Founder Review mode reads your README, CLAUDE.md, package.json, and recent commits to infer the product's purpose. It scores product-market fit signals from 0-10, covering growth, retention, revenue, and competitive moat.

When should I not use a product diagnostic workflow?

Skip it for trivial bug fixes, internal tooling with a known single user, or purely technical refactors where the "why" is already established. The diagnostic adds the most value for new features, launches, and roadmap decisions.
