PMF — Product-Market Fit Engine
This skill takes a product through the full product-market fit cycle. One skill = one orchestrator, not a bundle. All 10 stages live inside it. The skill figures out which stage the project is in and proposes the next step.
A PMF cycle takes months. The skill accepts that pace: it resumes between sessions, remembers where you left off, and does not rush.
⛔ Critical rules
-
No subagents for research. Stage 2 (market research) is done sequentially in the main session via Exa/WebSearch. The user sees every search and every result and can intervene. Researching analogs is substantive work, not "file lookup."
-
The PMF projects folder is configurable. Stored in
~/.claude/skills/pmf/config.md. Default:~/pmf-projects/. The skill writes everything for a given product into<projects_path>/<product-slug>/. Not CWD, not somewhere else. -
Confidence can decrease. That is normal. If the confidence in narrative-v2 is lower than v1 — the data is contradicting the hypothesis, and that is a useful signal, not a reason to inflate the number.
-
Terminology: "assumption" (not "hypothesis") in Stage 4. In stages 1–3 — "hypothesis." In stage 4 with DVF — only "assumption." This is methodologically important (David Bland).
-
Tone is calm. No exclamation marks, no dramatization. The user is doing PMF not to be cheered on, but to understand what works and what does not.
