At a glance

Cut a feature wishlist down to the smallest MVP that delivers value.

  • Works in 6 steps: Feature triage → MVP definition → User flow → …
  • A founder has too many features
  • SKILL.md covers Before you start, Instructions and Rules
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Mvp Scope is an agent 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.

Its SKILL.md is about 800 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering UX design. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for startup founders — product briefs, competitor analysis, pricing strategy, pitch decks, and GTM plans from your terminal. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A founder has too many features
  • Is deciding what to build first

Example prompts

  • “/mvp-scope”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit(founder/**)

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Feature triage
  2. MVP definition
  3. User flow
  4. Technical scope
  5. What you're not building, and why
  6. Launch criteria

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0602cad. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Edit(founder/**)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Mvp Scope loads about 803 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 406 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~803

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

argument-hint
[your product idea and feature wishlist]

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:

FeatureCategoryReasoning
...Must have / Should have / Won't haveOne 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]."

Then list the features that make this possible: 3-6, no more.

3. User flow

The critical path, from signup to value:

Step 1: User arrives at [landing page / app]
Step 2: User [action]
Step 3: User sees [result / value]
Step 4: User [conversion action: share, save, upgrade]

Each step should take under 60 seconds. If the flow needs more than 5 steps, it's too complex for an MVP.

4. Technical scope

For the MVP features only:

  • Build vs. buy: what to build and what to take from an existing service (auth, payments, email)
  • Stack: the simplest stack that works, not the most scalable
  • Build time: per feature and total, for one full-stack developer
  • Hosting: the cheapest way to run it (for example Vercel's free tier, Railway, Fly.io). Check current free tier limits before recommending one.
Show full SKILL.md (133 more words)Show less
5. What you're not building, and why

The top 5 features that seem important but should wait. For each:

  • The feature
  • Why it feels important
  • Why it doesn't matter before product-market fit
  • When to revisit it (a specific trigger, such as "100 paying users")
6. Launch criteria

Define "done":

  • A checklist of what must work (5-8 items)
  • What can be broken or ugly (2-3 items, such as "mobile layout can be imperfect")
  • The one thing to test with the first 10 users

Rules

  • The goal is the smallest thing that delivers value.
  • If the founder lists 15 features, at least 8 go in won't have.
  • Every must have needs a defense. "Users expect it" is not one.
  • Build times are for a solo developer, not an agency.
  • Keep total output under 1500 words.
