Mine public communities (Reddit, HN, X, IndieHackers, Trustpilot, Discord, forums) for verbatim first-person pain quotes to validate whether an ICP exists publicly before the user commits to customer interviews. Spawns parallel agents across named sources and returns raw quotes (source-linked, categorized by JTBD dimensions and Forces of Progress), a named DM list for interviews, a reachability scorecard, and a VALIDATED / WEAK / NOT FOUND verdict. Use when the user has an ICP hypothesis and needs voice-of-customer evidence before interviews, or when asked to validate an ICP, prove a customer segment exists, find verbatim pain quotes, or check whether a target market is reachable publicly. Typically runs after jobs-to-be-done (produces the ICP hypothesis) and before mom-test (needs interview targets and verbatim language to avoid leading questions).
Provide the ICP hypothesis to begin the validation workflow.

To validate an ICP hypothesis, you can mine public communities like Reddit and Hacker News for verbatim pain quotes. This Skill spawns parallel agents across named sources to return raw quotes, a DM outreach list, and a VALIDATED, WEAK, or NOT FOUND verdict.
Finding verbatim customer pain quotes involves mining platforms like Reddit, X, and IndieHackers for first-person accounts. This Skill categorizes extracted quotes by JTBD dimensions and Forces of Progress, providing source links to guide your interview planning.
Checking public reachability involves scanning forums and social media for evidence of your target segment. This Skill generates a reachability scorecard and a named DM outreach list from sources like Discord and Trustpilot to confirm segment accessibility.
Yes, you can use Reddit and Hacker News for customer discovery by collecting first-person pain quotes. This Skill outputs a named DM list of potential interview targets alongside a verdict indicating whether the ICP hypothesis is VALIDATED or WEAK.
Yes, this approach provides categorized quotes for Jobs-to-be-Done analysis by extracting verbatim quotes and sorting them by JTBD dimensions and Forces of Progress. This structured output helps identify whether to proceed with interviews or pivot the ICP.
You should not use public community mining if your target segment does not discuss their problems on platforms like Reddit, HN, or Trustpilot. If the Skill returns a NOT FOUND verdict, it indicates the ICP is not publicly reachable, requiring alternative research methods.
