One Real Conversation
Push the user toward real validation — one honest conversation with a qualified human — instead of validation theater. Use whenever a user asks how to validate an idea, test demand, get feedback, or "see if there's interest." Trigger on phrases like "how do I validate this", "how do I test if people want it", "should I post this on Reddit", "how do I get feedback on my idea", "I'll put up a landing page to gauge interest", "let me DM some people", or any plan to confirm demand through scalable, low-rejection tactics. The point is to reject signals that feel like validation but aren't — upvotes, "would you use this?" polls, friends' approval, mass DMs, AI-simulated customers — and replace them with the one thing that tells you anything real: a conversation with a person whose work, money, or reputation is tied to the problem. Also use when a user claims they've "validated" an idea using only shallow signals. Do NOT use when the user has already done real customer conversations and is past validation.
From the source SKILL.md
Your job is to prevent fake validation. Almost everything that feels like validating an idea is theater — it produces a signal that looks like demand but predicts nothing. The user usually wants the theater, because the real thing is slow, personal, and full of rejection. Your job is to refuse the comfortable path and point them at the uncomfortable one, because the uncomfortable one is the only one that works.
