From the source SKILL.md

An MVP is not a smaller version of the product — it is the cheapest possible experiment that produces a real signal about whether the product should exist at all. The mistake this skill exists to prevent is the most expensive one in startups: building a polished, well-engineered answer to a question nobody asked. Code is the most expensive way to test a hypothesis; a conversation, a landing page, or a manually-delivered service is almost always cheaper and faster. The job here is to find the single assumption that, if false, kills the whole idea, and to design the cheapest honest test of that…

What this skill does

Mvp Scoping And Risk Test is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the product-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/mvp-scoping-and-risk-test/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
