Overview

Mvp Scoping is a skill for deciding what to build, cut, and defer for a minimum viable version of a product or feature. It helps founders and product managers distill their ideas down to the smallest version worth building. The skill involves defining the hypothesis, listing candidate features, applying MoSCoW prioritization, identifying risks, and drawing a clear boundary between must-have and nice-to-have features. It's used when there's an idea or full feature spec that needs to be scoped down, or when a team is struggling with scope creep. The output includes a concise scope document with explicit inclusions, exclusions, and deferred items, as well as a risk register and success criteria.

Key features

  • MoSCoW prioritization
  • Risk assessment and mitigation
  • Hypothesis definition

How Skills Work Together

Every skill reads from startup‑context first — your company's stage, product, market, team, and metrics. This shared context means skills produce output tailored to your specific startup, not generic advice. See each skill's Related Skills section for the full dependency map.

What are Skills?

Skills are markdown files that give AI agents specialized knowledge and workflows for specific tasks. When you add these to your project, your agent can recognize what you're working on and apply the right frameworks, templates, and best practices — so you get founder‑grade output, not generic AI slop.

Who Is This For?

Solo technical founders building an MVP who also need to fundraise, sell, hire, and market — without a team to delegate to. First-time founders who know how to code but haven't written a pitch deck, cold email, or job description before. Small founding teams (2-3 people) wearing multiple hats and needing to move fast across every function. Technical co-founders who handle product and engineering but now need to step into sales, recruiting, or investor conversations. If you're at a company with a VP of Sales, a Head of Marketing, and in-house counsel — you probably don't need this. These skills are for founders who are the sales team, the marketing team, and the legal team, all at once.
