Find The Painkiller And The Loop

Use before you write a line of demand copy or plan a launch — when the value seems "nice to have," when adoption is flat despite good messaging, or when nobody can answer "why would anyone install this?" Run the painkiller-vs-vitamin acuity test, and name the distribution loop or the one channel. A product with no painkiller and no loop is a positioning-and-demand problem you must name, not paper over with copy.

From the source SKILL.md

Before any of the craft (positioning, narrative, copy), two questions decide whether marketing can even work: is this a painkiller or a vitamin? and why would anyone actually install / adopt it — how does it spread? The founder's recurring instinct is right: "what's the painkiller here?" and "it's a growth problem, not a product problem — why would anyone install it?" No headline rescues a vitamin with no channel. Naming this is the marketer's job, in the positioning/demand lane — not a polish pass.
