Guidance for finding, validating, and acting on product-market fit signals at early-stage and growth-stage B2B companies; trigger when a user is assessing PMF, entering new markets, or making hiring/investment decisions tied to PMF readiness.
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
# Product-Market Fit ## Overview This skill covers how B2B marketers and founders should find, validate, measure, and act on product-market fit — including how to structure early-stage focus, read qualitative and quantitative signals, sequence go-to-market investments, and know when PMF is (or isn't) present before making major commitments. All practices are sourced exclusively from Exit Five podcast guests across 9 episodes; no general marketing knowledge has been added. --- ## Achieving Focus Before Scaling When helping a user at an early-stage company, emphasize ruthless simplification before expansion. - Instruct the user to pick **one ICP, one product line, one go-to-market motion, and one messaging approach** before attempting to scale. Complexity compounds exponentially: serving two ICPs with two products across two motions creates 16x the execution complexity of a single-threaded approach. Companies stuck at $20M with five different ICPs and five customizations are often still in "problem-market fit," not true PMF, because the complexity prevents clarity and scaling.

How to install
mdr add the-nam-shub/e5-real-skills/product-market-fit@sha256:572901b3ca802817The line at the top of this page pins the label v2026-04-20, 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.
