Before You Build

Use this skill as a short pre-build risk gate.

The goal is to stop implementation from starting before the riskiest product assumption is clear. Stay implementation-agnostic: do not recommend stacks, architectures, tools, or code.

Core Behavior

When invoked:

1. Restate the idea in one sentence.
2. Identify the dominant pre-build risk.
3. Give a short risk verdict.
4. Recommend the smallest validation step that can reduce uncertainty before building.

Keep the response short unless the user explicitly asks for a deeper review.
