saas-idea-validator
From the author
Evaluates a software or startup idea against problem, market, competition, monetization, defensibility, and execution, and returns a verdict rather than encouragement. Use this when an idea needs pressure-testing before anyone builds, when deciding whether something is worth pursuing, when assessing competition or willingness to pay, or when a validated idea needs a first-customers and MVP plan. Default to scrutiny; the useful answer is usually the unwelcome one.

- impl-validatorAr9av/obsidian-wikiIndependently check whether an implementation matches its stated goal and return PASS/WARN/FAIL with actionable issues. Use for second-opinion validation of an implementation or generated output.Other★ 3.6K
- product-discoverycbrock84/headcountFinds out whether a problem is real and a solution would work, before building it — recruiting the right people, interviewing without leading them, separating what users say from what they do, naming the riskiest assumption and testing that one first, and reaching a decision rather than a summary. Use this to validate a problem, test an idea cheaply, decide whether to build something, or fix a discovery process that keeps confirming what the team already believed.Testing★ 2.1K
- ceo-advisorcbrock84/headcountPressure-tests a decision, plan, or idea before it is committed to — surfacing the assumption it rests on, the case against it, and what would have to be true for it to work. Use this when weighing options, when a plan needs challenging before commitment, when you have already decided and want a genuine gut check, when processing meeting notes into decisions, or when competing initiatives need ranking. Distinct from `chief-executive`, which owns direction; this one interrogates a specific decision.Testing★ 2.1K
- mvpdavepoon/buildwithclaudeGuides the founder through designing and optionally building the simplest MVP or prototype that validates their current hypotheses. Use when the founder wants to build something to test assumptions, discusses what to build next, wants to interpret results from a live MVP, or is deciding whether the current approach is still right. Also use when a founder proposes something to build — the skill will check whether the proposed form is the simplest thing that generates honest signal.Testing★ 3.7K
- validate-dataanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsQA an analysis before sharing -- methodology, accuracy, and bias checks. Use when reviewing an analysis before a stakeholder presentation, spot-checking calculations and aggregation logic, verifying a SQL query's results look right, or assessing whether conclusions are actually supported by the data.OfficialTesting★ 31K
- vendor-reviewanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsEvaluate a vendor — cost analysis, risk assessment, and recommendation. Use when reviewing a new vendor proposal, deciding whether to renew or replace a contract, comparing two vendors side-by-side, or building a TCO breakdown and negotiation points before procurement sign-off.OfficialEngineering★ 31K
