This skill identifies the riskiest assumption, designs a minimal product to test these assumptions, and sets numeric success metrics and kill criteria as specified by the founder. It systematically regulates the build process with distinct phase gates requiring explicit approval to proceed.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this skill does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    Converts a locked north star into a scoped MVP plan, focusing on testing critical assumptions.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    Produces a detailed checklist in \u003ccode\u003e\/docs\/002-mvp-plan.md\u003c\/code\u003e that encompasses the entire process from idea conception to product launch.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    Establishes clear success metrics and kill criteria using the founder's pre-determined numbers.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    Regulates progression with phase gates, ensuring no build work occurs without explicit approval.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    Requires a pre-existing locked north star before it can operate and will refuse to run without this prerequisite.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoftware developers and project managers working with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduct development teams seeking structured and controlled MVP planning processes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStartups and founders looking to define and test MVPs based on critical assumptions and metrics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUse cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInitial MVP planning and development sessions immediately following a locked north star agreement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProjects where strict governance over design and build phases is required through gated approvals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRe-evaluation or scope adjustment of an MVP when explicitly reopened by the founder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrates with Claude AI to operationalize north star and MVP planning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUtilizes AI agent capabilities such as Claude, aiapplication, and mvp-plan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAligns with project documentation norms to confirm numbering in target project directories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- mcpcart:static-blocks:start --\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSource \u0026amp; Licence\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis package is built on open-source work published by \u003cstrong\u003emollyretter\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/mollyretter\/forward-deployed-engineer-toolkit\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003emollyretter\/forward-deployed-engineer-toolkit\u003c\/a\u003e) and distributed under \u003cstrong\u003eMIT\u003c\/strong\u003e.
