app-validation

When to Use This Skill

Call this when:

1. You have an app idea and need confidence before 4 weeks of build time
2. You want to avoid false starts with market validation first
3. You need to prioritize which app idea to build if you have multiple
4. You're mid-build and getting customer feedback signals

Do NOT use this if:

• You've already shipped and have paying customers (use metrics instead)
• You're in execution mode and decided to build (stay focused)
