What it does
Find out if what you plan to build is worth building, before you write any code. You get the biggest risks named and the smallest test to try first. The skill restates your idea in one sentence: who it is for, the job they need done and what they do now. It then checks the main risks: real demand, fit with their workflow, willingness to switch, how people will find it, pricing, data access and running costs. It prefers specific doubts to vague brainstorming. It proposes one small test, like a buyer chat, a landing page or a manual version. If risk is low it moves on to build with the assumptions written down. If high, it says stop.
