Plan and audit customer discovery using Rob Fitzpatrick's Mom Test to uncover past behavior, improve interview questions, and assess commitments. Use for interview guides, discovery transcripts, startup assumptions, and early sales decisions.
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.

# The Mom Test for Customer Conversations Based on Rob Fitzpatrick's public method. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Rob Fitzpatrick. ## When to use Use this skill to prepare customer conversations, rewrite leading questions, review supplied interview notes, or decide what an interested prospect's actions actually establish.

How to install
mdr add getedgehq/skills/fitzpatrick-mom-test@sha256:5c4100fe540bb2f4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.d5668a9, 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.
