What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you stop and check whether you actually know what you're trying to achieve before you start building. It pushes you to define the outcome, prove the problem is real, and defend the idea in plain language instead of jumping straight into a solution.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Outcome clarity: Forces a clear statement of what success looks like and what changes after the work is done.
- Problem validation: Challenges assumptions by asking for evidence that the problem exists.
- Defensibility check: Tests whether you can answer basic product questions and support the idea with a simple FAQ or outcome statement.
- Use case: Helpful when someone says "let's build X" but has not yet proven the need, the value, or the reason to invest time in it.
Quick Start
