before-you-build — Claude Code plugin for product risk review
Review product or feature risks before implementation starts. Use it to assess an idea for an MVP, SaaS product, landing page, or internal tool.
/plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents
/plugin install before-you-build@claude-code-workflowsWhat before-you-build does
before-you-build is a pre-build product review skill packaged as a plugin. Ask it to assess a landing page, MVP, SaaS product, internal tool, major feature, or agent workflow before development begins.
It returns a short product-risk verdict before engineering work starts. The skill is Markdown-only, so it reviews an idea rather than implementing it. Run the review before building: a risk found later could mean rethinking work already underway.
What it helps with
- review product risks before development begins
- assess an MVP concept before implementation
- check an idea for a SaaS product
- examine risks in a major feature
- review a proposed agent workflow
Example prompts for the agent
- Review the risks in this landing page idea before we build it.
- Assess this MVP concept and give me a short verdict before implementation.
- Check the product risks in the internal tool we plan to create.
