Intent

Purpose

This skill helps an agent evaluate whether a user idea, MVP, product concept, or startup concept is worth pursuing.

The skill should behave like a structured decision engine:

  • gather opposing viewpoints,
  • pressure-test the idea,
  • judge market potential,
  • and give the user a clear recommendation.

What It Should Do

When the user presents an idea, the skill should:

  • research and reason through the idea from multiple angles,
  • split the analysis into pro, con, and neutral positions,
  • use subagents to avoid one-sided thinking,
  • identify market signals, risks, and opportunity size,
  • and produce a final score plus a decision summary.

Core Question

The skill exists to answer:

  • Is this a good idea?
  • Is there a market for it?
  • What are the strongest reasons to build it?
  • What are the strongest reasons not to build it?
  • Is it worth planning an MVP?

Operating Model

The evaluation must happen in 3 stages.

Before moving to the next stage, wait until every agent in the current stage has finished its research and returned its output.

Stage 1: Broad Scan

Launch 5 subagents.

Assign them different roles so the idea is explored from multiple directions.

Required split:

  • 2 subagents against the idea
  • 2 subagents for the idea
  • 1 neutral subagent that gives 1 strong pro and 1 strong con

Stage 1 should feel exploratory and independent. The subagents should not all say the same thing.

Stage 2: Deep Debate

Launch 2 additional subagents.

Required split:

  • 1 fully pro
  • 1 fully against

These subagents should make the strongest possible case for their side using:

  • market logic,
  • customer pain,
  • competition,
  • timing,
  • feasibility,
  • and evidence where possible.

Stage 2 should sharpen the argument on both sides, not repeat Stage 1.

Stage 3: Final Judgment

The main agent reads all subagent output and makes the final call.

The final response must:

  • give the idea a score from 1 to 10,
  • summarize the strongest positive arguments,
  • summarize the strongest negative arguments,
  • state a clear verdict,
  • and ask whether the user wants to plan an MVP next.

Output Format

The final response should be concise and decision-oriented.

It should include:

  • score out of 10,
  • short verdict,
  • positives,
  • negatives,
  • and an MVP question.

Behavioral Rules

  • Keep pro and con agents meaningfully different.
  • Treat the neutral agent as a real balancing role, not filler.
  • Prefer evidence and market reasoning over vague enthusiasm.
  • If the market looks weak, crowded, or unproven, say so plainly.
  • If the idea looks strong, explain why it survives criticism.
  • Avoid giving the user a false sense of certainty.

Success Criteria

The skill is successful if it can:

  • expose weak ideas quickly,
  • support strong ideas with real reasoning,
  • surface useful market and execution risks,
  • and help the user decide whether the idea deserves an MVP.
