A skill for SaaS and AI landing pages where the proof is a real interface or a clearly labeled demo, not atmospheric decoration.

## What it does

The skill sets the page structure. It starts with the user friction in one sentence, then puts a real or clearly labeled sample workflow in the hero. The mechanism is spelled out as states: input, processing, draft, edit, approval, publish. Feature blocks then hang off user outcomes and audiences instead of vague capabilities.

Inside are rules for the visual system and layout: white-to-pale-blue surfaces, near-black text, a 12-column grid, 12–16px radii, thin borders. Product panels should read denser than the marketing copy around them. Primary actions stay black, and the single signal color is reserved for active state, progress and focus. Decorative particles and permanently floating cards are ruled out.

A separate section covers the prompt-to-output story: edit, submit, cancel, retry, copy, version history, loading, quota, moderation and network error states. The skill asks for a deterministic replay and a text transcript, and the workflow has to stay understandable when animation is off. Pricing and FAQ form one decision path — comparable limits in a single table, with ambiguous terms deep-linked to specific answers. It also tells you to replace source brands, metrics, screenshots and prices, and never to fake generation speed. If your page already carries invented customer quotes or performance numbers, expect the skill to strip them.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill product-proof-saas -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/product-proof-saas/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/product-proof-saas/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill product-proof-saas -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/product-proof-saas/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill product-proof-saas -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/product-proof-saas/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install MengTo/Skills product-proof-saas
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/product-proof-saas/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill product-proof-saas -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/MengTo/Skills --path agent-skills/web-design/product-proof-saas
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/product-proof-saas/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill product-proof-saas -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- build a hero around a working interface instead of a stock image
- map the path from input to publish as explicit states
- line up plan limits in one comparable table
- link ambiguous plan terms to FAQ answers
- audit the page for invented metrics and testimonials

## Example prompts
- build our SaaS landing page with the product-proof-saas skill and put a real workflow in the hero
- rework the pricing block: comparable limits in one table, ambiguous terms deep-linked to the FAQ
- add cancel, retry and network error states to the prompt-to-output flow, plus a text transcript

description: Create or redesign SaaS and AI product landing pages where a real workflow, interface, or deterministic demo is the central proof.

# Product Proof SaaS

Show the product mechanism before making broad claims. Make the interface the evidence, not decoration.

## Establish the Story

1. Name the user friction in one sentence.
2. Put a real, deterministic, or clearly labeled sample workflow in the hero.
3. Explain the mechanism as input, processing, draft, edit, approval, and publish states.
4. Organize features around user outcomes and audiences.
5. Keep pricing limits and objections in one continuous decision path.

Replace source brands, outputs, customers, metrics, prices, screenshots, and claims. Never fake generation speed or output quality.

## Build the Visual System

- Use white-to-pale-blue surfaces, near-black text, soft gray grid lines, and one cool signal color.
- Pair a high-x-height grotesk with compact mono labels.
- Use 12-column product grids, 12–16px radii, thin borders, and honest UI screenshots.
- Keep product panels denser than the marketing copy around them.
- Use black primary actions and reserve the signal color for active state, progress, selection, and focus.
- Avoid decorative AI particles, constant floating, and vague glowing orbs.

## Compose the Page

- Header: keep product routes compact and the primary trial or demo action obvious.
- Hero: pair the value proposition with a product stage that demonstrates one complete outcome.
- Friction proof: show a before/after, time breakdown, or concrete workflow constraint.
- Feature modules: use small icons and focused copy around real capabilities.
- Workflow: explain state changes and human control, not a magical one-click promise.
- Audience tabs: preserve content in the DOM and deep-link when useful.
- Proof: use verified examples, customer evidence, or clearly labeled samples.
- Pricing: align comparable limits, usage units, and footnotes.
- FAQ: deep-link ambiguous plan terms from the comparison table.
