When the user needs to decide what to build, cut, and defer for a first release or minimum viable version of a product or feature.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# MVP Scoping ## When to Use Activate when a founder or PM has an idea or a full feature spec and needs to distill it down to the smallest version worth building. Trigger phrases include "what's our MVP," "what should we cut," "scope this down," "what do we build first," "we only have 4 weeks," or "help me prioritize what to include." Also activate when a team is struggling with scope creep and needs to draw a clear line between must-have and nice-to-have. ## Context Required - **From startup-context:** company stage, team size, runway/timeline pressure, existing product (if any), technical stack and constraints. - **From the user:** the full feature vision or spec, target user segment, the core hypothesis being tested, available timeline and resources, any non-negotiable requirements (compliance, security, contractual commitments). ## Workflow 1. **State the hypothesis** — Define what the MVP is designed to learn or prove.

How to install
mdr add maudeunfledged834/startup-founder-skills/mvp-scoping@sha256:a67d23ed2f4de1cdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260403.b0c6483, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
