## What it does

The skill puts your agent in the role of a micro-SaaS launch architect. It carries a validation framework with a question table, quick ways to test demand, and lists of red and green flags. Ask about your idea and the agent works from those tables instead of generic advice.

There is a two-week MVP plan broken down by day, from auth and one core feature to Stripe and the landing page. A solo-founder stack table sits next to it: Next.js, Supabase, Stripe, Resend, Vercel. The skill also names what to skip in a first version. Pricing gets its own section, with ranges for a simple tool, a pro tool and a B2B tool, plus a way to anchor the number to what the alternative costs.

Anti-patterns are covered too: building in secret, feature creep, pricing too low. The sharp-edges table flags a product with no distribution channel and a market that will not pay as the two things that break a launch most often. Related skills listed: `landing-page-design`, `backend`, `stripe`, `seo`.

## When to use it
- test demand before writing code
- scope a first version you can ship in two weeks
- pick a stack one developer can carry
- set a price without underselling the product
- work out why signups churn as fast as they arrive

## Example prompts
- Help me validate a micro-SaaS idea: a tool that turns Google Sheets into client reports for agencies
- Lay out a two-week MVP plan by day for my stack
- What should I charge for a B2B tool that replaces 10 hours of manual work a month?
