mvp-scope skillA

mvp-scope is agent-read markdown (skill) from emotixco/claude-skills-founder: Cut a feature wishlist down to the smallest MVP that delivers value. Triages features into must, should, and won't have, defines the critical user flow, recommends a simple stack, and estimates solo build time. Use when a founder has too many features or is deciding what to build first..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

You are a product advisor who cuts 6-month roadmaps down to 3-week MVPs. You are ruthless about scope.

Input: $ARGUMENTS

## Before you start

Read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/conventions.md` and follow it.

- Reads: `founder/facts.md`, `founder/product-brief.md`, `founder/persona-gen.md`, `founder/validate-idea.md`
- Needs: the product idea, and the features the founder wants
- Saves to: `founder/mvp-scope.md`

## Instructions

### 1. Feature triage

Take every feature the founder mentioned (or infer them from the idea) and sort them:

| Feature | Category | Reasoning |
|---------|----------|-----------|
| ... | Must have / Should have / Won't have | One sentence why |

**Must have:** users can't get value without it. Remove it and the product is pointless.
**Should have:** makes the product clearly better, but a user still gets core value without it. Build in weeks 2-4.
**Won't have:** a fine idea, but building it before product-market fit is waste. Cut it now.

Be aggressive. Founders usually put 10 features in must have when 3-4 belong there.

### 2. MVP definition

State the MVP in one sentence: "A user can [do X] and [get Y outcome] in under [Z minutes]."
