Core Workflow
- Define target buyer and high-pain workflow.
- Validate demand with real user signal, not vanity metrics.
- Map alternatives and clear differentiation.
- Test pricing and offer framing with constrained experiments.
- Decide go/no-go with explicit evidence thresholds.
Overview
This skill helps agents pressure-test business ideas before heavy build effort, reducing wasted cycles and weak launches.
Capability Scope
- Buyer/problem framing
- Market and alternative analysis
- Offer and pricing experiment design
- Validation metric and threshold definition
- Decision memo generation
Compatibility
Native
- Claude Code / Claude: native skill usage via
SKILL.md. - Codex/OpenAI workflows: compatible with Agent Skills-style
SKILL.mdcontent as reusable workflow instructions.
Manual Adaptation
- Gemini CLI: native skill usage via
.gemini/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.mdor.agents/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.mdwhere supported. - Cursor: use the generated
.cursor/rules/*.mdcadapter for project rules. - OpenClaw and similar agents: use the same skill content as a reusable prompt/workflow file when native skill import is unavailable.
Production Rules
- Base decisions on direct demand evidence, not social vanity metrics.
- Keep pricing tests tied to measurable user outcomes.
- Preserve a clear no-build threshold when evidence is weak.
- Re-test assumptions whenever segment or offer changes materially.
Troubleshooting
Issue: Validation result is inconclusive
Fix: narrow segment and run higher-signal interviews/tests.
Issue: Competitor map is generic
Fix: compare by workflow outcome, not feature list.
Issue: Pricing feels arbitrary
Fix: tie price to measurable ROI or time/cost savings.
Output Contract
- Evidence-backed demand assessment.
- Testable offer and pricing proposal.
- Execution scope for first launch.
- Go/no-go recommendation with rationale.

| Safety notes | ✓Installs from a downloaded package and may run local commands or scaffold files as part of the workflow; review the package and any generated changes before applying. | ✓Use this skill as planning or review guidance; verify generated commands, code, configuration, and infrastructure changes before running them. Apply least-privilege credentials and test in staging or a disposable branch before using it on production systems, CI, deployment, or account-write workflows. | ✓ZIP archives can bundle scripts and hooks—scan for outbound network calls before distribution. Do not publish archives containing secrets, tokens, or personal machine paths. Treat installable skill zips as supply-chain artifacts requiring checksum publication. | ✓Computer use controls real desktop apps with per-app session approval—not sandboxed Bash. Review sentinel warnings before approving Terminal, Finder, or System Settings access. Press Esc or Ctrl+C to stop computer use and release the machine-wide lock immediately. Only one Claude Code session can hold the computer-use lock at a time. |
| Privacy notes | ✓Operates on your local project files and any context you share in the session; review what you expose before sharing — nothing is sent beyond the model unless a step calls an external service. | ✓Inputs can include source files, prompts, logs, account metadata, repository details, and operational context that may be sent to the configured AI model. Redact secrets, customer data, private URLs, credentials, and proprietary implementation details before sharing prompts, reports, or generated artifacts. | ✓Example prompts in skills may contain internal codenames—redact before public release. QA logs may capture file paths from developer machines—sanitize shared reports. | ✓Screenshots are downscaled before model upload but may still capture sensitive UI content. Your terminal window is excluded from screenshots per official documentation. Redact customer or proprietary UI details before sharing screenshot evidence externally. Other visible apps are hidden while Claude works; still minimize sensitive windows before starting. |
