SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a raw product idea into a structured business model is hard: assumptions stay implicit, risky hypotheses go unnoticed, and monetization logic remains vague. This Skill condenses an idea into the 9 blocks of Ash Maurya's Lean Canvas so viability and the riskiest assumption become visible in one pass. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Nine-block canvas assembly: Fills Problem, Customer Segments, UVP, Solution, Channels, Revenue Streams, Cost Structure, Key Metrics, and Unfair Advantage, with a North Star metric and a hypothesis table. - Two operating modes: An interactive interview mode that asks 2-4 targeted questions per round and saves a draft after each phase, plus an autonomous pipeline mode that synthesizes the canvas from brief, market, and personas artifacts and returns a JSON envelope for the orchestrator. - Risk surfacing: Explicitly names the single riskiest assumption and marks unverified items as [assumption] hypotheses with a verification plan. - Use Case: After completing a game brief and market research, run this Skill to produce a lean_canvas artifact showing the monetization model, early adopter segment, and the assumption that would break the business if wrong. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build a Lean Canvas for your product idea using the existing brief, market research, and persona artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Lean Canvas for a product idea?▼

Provide a product brief and optionally market research and persona artifacts. The Skill fills all 9 Lean Canvas blocks in Maurya's order, either by interviewing you interactively or by synthesizing the canvas autonomously from the input artifacts.

What inputs does the Lean Canvas skill need?▼

The only required input is a brief artifact describing the problem, audience, and value. Market research and persona artifacts are optional inputs that improve the segments, alternatives, and monetization blocks.

Can Lean Canvas run autonomously in a pipeline?▼

Yes. In pipeline mode it asks no questions, synthesizes the canvas from brief, market, and persona artifacts, marks unknowns as [assumption], and returns a JSON envelope with status, artifact paths, assumptions, and blocking questions.

What happens if a Lean Canvas session is interrupted?▼

The Skill writes a draft to .process/lean_canvas_draft.md after every phase, not just at the end. When you return, it resumes from the draft file instead of restarting the interview.

What are the limitations of a Lean Canvas?▼

A Lean Canvas is a hypothesis map, not a business plan. Revenue models, pricing, and unit economics it contains are assumptions that require validation with real customers before being treated as facts.
