SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

## What problem does it solve? The Skill provides a structured, adversarial framework to validate product ideas, generate diverse business models, and convert insights into executable definitions.

## Core Features & Use Cases

  • Adversarial validation across 6 product types to BUILD/PIVOT/KILL with evidence
  • Serial pipeline to generate 4-6 shotgun variants and an auto-filled define
  • Session-based data sharing across skills for consistent context and handoff

### Quick Start Run /pressure-test to begin assessing a new idea, then optionally proceed to /shotgun and /define.

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

To validate a product idea before an MVP, use adversarial validation to pressure-test demand and generate a BUILD, PIVOT, or KILL decision backed by evidence across six product types.

What is adversarial validation for product development?

Adversarial validation for product development is a rigorous assessment method that sequentially pressure-tests ideas to validate market demand, ensuring your product decisions are evidence-based.

How do I generate diverse business models from a single product concept?

To generate diverse business models from a single concept, run a shotgun pipeline that automatically produces 4-6 product variants, allowing you to compare different strategic directions.

Can I use session management to share context across different product validation steps?

Yes, you can use session management to share data across product validation steps, maintaining a consistent context and handoff between pressure-test, shotgun, and define stages.

How do I convert product validation insights into executable definitions?

To convert validation insights into executable definitions, run the define stage after pressure-testing and variant generation, which auto-fills outputs based on the shared session context.

Does product-thinking work for evaluating different types of digital products?

Product-thinking works for evaluating different digital products by loading type adapters that tailor data sources and validation plans specifically for six distinct product types.
