What it does

Brainstorm Experiments New is an agent skill from phuryn/pm-skills. Design lean startup experiments (pretotypes) for a new product. Creates XYZ hypotheses and suggests low-effort validation methods like landing pages, explainer videos, and pre-orders. Use when validating a new product idea, creating pretotypes, or testing market demand.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 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 Frontend & Design, covering Brainstorming, Landing pages and Video production. The repository describes itself as: PM Skills Marketplace: 100+ agentic skills, commands, and plugins — from discovery to strategy, execution, launch, and growth. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Validating a new product idea
  • Creating pretotypes
  • Testing market demand

Example prompts

  • “/brainstorm-experiments-new”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Create an XYZ Hypothesis in the form: "At least X% of Y will do Z"
  2. Suggest 2-3 pretotype experiments to test the hypothesis with minimal effort. Consider
  3. Key principles (Alberto Savoia, The Right It)
  4. For each experiment, specify the hypothesis being tested, the method, the metric, and the success threshold.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8607e3b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • productcompass.pm

    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

Brainstorm Experiments New loads about 634 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 277 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
~634

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.

description
Design lean startup experiments (pretotypes) for a new product. Creates XYZ hypotheses and suggests low-effort validation methods like landing pages, explainer videos, and pre-orders. Use when validating a new product idea, creating pretotypes, or testing market demand.

Design Lean Startup Experiments (New Product)

Create XYZ hypotheses and design pretotype experiments to validate a new product concept with minimal effort.

Context

You are helping validate a new product concept: $ARGUMENTS using lean startup methodology.

If the user provides files (market research, landing page mockups), read them first.

Instructions
  1. Create an XYZ Hypothesis in the form: "At least X% of Y will do Z"

    • X%: The percentage of the target market expected to engage
    • Y: The specific target market (e.g., "mid-size luxury sedan buyers")
    • Z: How they will engage with the product
  2. Suggest 2-3 pretotype experiments to test the hypothesis with minimal effort. Consider:

    • Landing Page: Test interest by measuring sign-ups or clicks
    • Explainer Video: Test understanding and appeal through engagement metrics
    • Email Campaign: Test demand through response and click-through rates
    • Pre-Order / Waitlist: Test willingness to pay through skin-in-the-game commitment
    • Concierge / Manual MVP: Deliver the service manually to test value
  3. Key principles (Alberto Savoia, The Right It):

    • Skin-in-the-Game: Test willingness to pay — not just interest. Real commitment (time, money, reputation) is the only reliable signal.
    • Your Own Data (YODA): Collect your own data through experiments rather than relying on Others' Data (ODP) like market reports or analogies. "The market for your idea does not care about the market for someone else's idea."
    • Measure actual behavior, not users' opinions
  4. For each experiment, specify the hypothesis being tested, the method, the metric, and the success threshold.

Think step by step. Save as markdown if substantial.
