About this skill
The problem
Founders often waste months building features for markets that don't exist or solving problems nobody pays for. DIY validation is slow, prone to confirmation bias, and usually lacks a structured rubric for killing bad ideas early.
What it does
- Generates a weighted Market Score (1-10) across six dimensions including pain intensity and founder feasibility.
- Maps the competitive landscape across direct, indirect, and status quo tiers to find specific positioning wedges.
- Defines a strict MVP scope with a "10 Not to Build" list to prevent feature creep.
- Provides a 7-day no-code validation sprint and explicit "kill criteria" to protect founder time.
- Creates five platform-specific viral hooks to test demand before a single line of code is written.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Standard LLM prompts yield polite, generic encouragement. This skill uses a weighted scoring rubric and a forced "kill vs. build" verdict that mimics a cynical venture scout. It bypasses the "blank page" problem by enforcing a specific 6-card report structure that includes math-based monetization and tactical day-by-day launch plans.
Use cases
- Vetting a new SaaS side project before committing a weekend to the MVP.
- Conducting a rapid competitive analysis and positioning exercise for a pivot.
- Generating a day-by-day validation plan for a non-technical founder.
- Creating "smoke test" content and viral hooks for LinkedIn or X to gauge initial interest.
Known limitations
This skill prioritizes speed and market logic over deep technical architecture reviews or legal compliance checks.
