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.
