MVP Scoping Skill

This skill guides Claude to apply MVP (Minimum Viable Product) thinking during feature discussions and planning conversations.

When to Use

Apply this skill when:

• Users describe a new feature they want to build
• Discussing scope or requirements for upcoming work
• Users ask "what should we build first?" or similar
• Planning conversations before formal issue creation
• Users seem to be over-engineering or gold-plating solutions
• Reviewing feature proposals or specifications

Core Principles

1. Ruthless Prioritization

Ask: "What is the absolute minimum needed for this feature to be functional?"
