Framework for having useful customer conversations that won't lead you astray. Based on a fundamental truth: everyone is lying to you -- not because they're malicious, but because you're asking the wrong questions. Your mom will tell you your idea is great because she loves you. Investors, friends, and even potential customers will do the same. The Mom Test provides rules for asking questions so good that even your mom can't lie to you.
Mom Test is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the design-system-ui sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/mom-test/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user mentions "customer interviews", "validate my idea", "users say they want it but don''t buy", "leading questions", or "The Mom Test". Covers commitment and advancement, avoiding compliments, and extracting signal from noise.
The Mom Test Claude Code skill is built for product managers, product designers, and cross-functional teams planning, shipping, and measuring product features. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
