Core Workflow

  1. Define minimal paid-free architecture constraints.
  2. Cut scope to one painful user workflow.
  3. Build MVP with observability and fallback paths.
  4. Ship distribution loop before expansion features.
  5. Track revenue triggers and reinvest only on proof.

Overview

This skill enables practical bootstrap execution where money is constrained and time must be allocated to high-signal work only.

Capability Scope

  • Free-tier architecture planning
  • MVP cut-list and sequence control
  • Distribution loop design
  • Early monetization checkpointing
  • Cost-risk tradeoff governance

Compatibility

Native

  • Claude Code / Claude: native skill usage via SKILL.md.
  • Codex/OpenAI workflows: compatible with Agent Skills-style SKILL.md content as reusable workflow instructions.

Manual Adaptation

  • Gemini CLI: native skill usage via .gemini/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md or .agents/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md where supported.
  • Cursor: use the generated .cursor/rules/*.mdc adapter 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

  • Keep MVP scope to a single painful workflow.
  • Do not add paid dependencies before revenue validation.
  • Instrument conversion and retention signals from day one.
  • Drop low-signal features quickly when metrics miss thresholds.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Free-tier limits break reliability
Fix: add graceful degradation and hard usage thresholds.

Issue: Feature creep stalls launch
Fix: enforce strict cut-list with deadline lock.

Issue: Traffic arrives but no conversion
Fix: tighten problem/offer fit and simplify CTA path.

Output Contract

  1. MVP architecture and scope map.
  2. Launch sequence with dependency order.
  3. Distribution and monetization loop.
  4. KPI dashboard and next-step gates.
