Design lean startup experiments (pretotypes) for a new product. Creates XYZ hypotheses and suggests low-effort validation methods like landing pages, explainer videos, and pre-orders. Use when validating a new product idea, creating pretotypes, or testing market demand.

Skin-in-the-Game: Test willingness to pay — not just interest.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Design Lean Startup Experiments (New Product)
Create XYZ hypotheses and design pretotype experiments to validate a new product concept with minimal effort.
Context
You are helping validate a new product concept: $ARGUMENTS using lean startup methodology.
If the user provides files (market research, landing page mockups), read them first.
Instructions
- Create an XYZ Hypothesis in the form: "At least X% of Y will do Z"
- X%: The percentage of the target market expected to engage
- Y: The specific target market (e.g., "mid-size luxury sedan buyers")
- Z: How they will engage with the product
- Suggest 2-3 pretotype experiments to test the hypothesis with minimal effort. Consider:
- Landing Page: Test interest by measuring sign-ups or clicks
- Explainer Video: Test understanding and appeal through engagement metrics
- Email Campaign: Test demand through response and click-through rates
- Pre-Order / Waitlist: Test willingness to pay through skin-in-the-game commitment
- Concierge / Manual MVP: Deliver the service manually to test value
- Key principles (Alberto Savoia, The Right It):
- Skin-in-the-Game: Test willingness to pay — not just interest. Real commitment (time, money, reputation) is the only reliable signal.
- Your Own Data (YODA): Collect your own data through experiments rather than relying on Others' Data (ODP) like market reports or analogies. "The market for your idea does not care about the market for someone else's idea."
- Measure actual behavior, not users' opinions
- For each experiment, specify the hypothesis being tested, the method, the metric, and the success threshold.
Think step by step. Save as markdown if substantial.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
