Idea → shipped MVP. A Claude Code skill that walks you through 24 stages — from sanity-checking the idea, through stack, code and security, to a working, deployed MVP. At each step you decide how much the AI does and how much you do.
⚠️ Claude Code only. These are Claude Code skills (or a compatible agent that loads skills from ~/.claude/skills). Outside such an agent they do nothing.
- Idea
- 1–3Discovery & validation
- 4–5Differentiation
- 6–8Product definition
- 9Brand
- 10–17Engineering foundation
- 18Legal
- 19Design brief
- HARD GATESmoke test — does anyone want it?
- 21–22Execution — build loop (TDD)
- HARD GATESecurity audit — 0 critical?
- Shipped MVP + HANDOFF.md
What happens (24 stages, 10 phases)
- Discovery & validation — does the idea hold up (anti-wrapper screen), competitor research, interviews
- Differentiation — how to do it better and where your edge is
- Product definition — MVP scope, UX, pricing
- Brand — name, domain
- Engineering foundation — stack, infra, code review, anti-duplication, anti-hallucination, TDD, docs
- Legal — the basics
- Design brief — a ready design prompt + the views
- 🔒 Hard gate: smoke test — if nobody wants it, you don't build it
- Execution — spec + build loop: TDD → refactor → review → tools → verify
- 🔒 Hard gate: security audit — nothing ships with a critical finding
- Live smoke + handoff — a working MVP + HANDOFF.md
What you get in the bundle (custom)
- idea-to-mvp — the 24-stage pipeline (main skill)
- security-audit — pre-ship security gate (stage 23)
- code-reviewer — review dimensions + tool registry (build loop)
- code-refactor — SOLID / code-smell refactoring (build loop)
- code-review-nextjs-saas — stack-specific reviewer (Next.js / React / tRPC)
What you enable yourself in Claude Code (standard)
idea-to-mvp also calls skills that are standard in Claude Code / the free superpowers plugin. You install those yourself — we don't redistribute them:
- the superpowers plugin: brainstorming, TDD, subagent-driven-development, plan execution, verification, and more
- feature-dev (plugin)
- frontend-design (built into Claude Code)
Without them the pipeline still runs — stages that call them just ask you to provide that step or skip it.
How it's different from a "build with AI" guide
- An executable pipeline with quality gates (mechanical checks + LLM-as-judge), not a PDF of tips.
- Two hard gates protect you from the two most expensive mistakes: building something nobody wants, and shipping insecure code.
- You're in control — every stage offers 5 options: I have it / together / skill alone / skip / import.
- Pause and resume (state.json) — fits short work sessions.
What you download
A bundle of 5 skills (.md + references + an install README). Copy the folders into ~/.claude/skills/ and run /idea-to-mvp <your idea>. Requirements: Claude Code (or a compatible agent) + some coding ability.
Buy once. The pipeline keeps evolving (currently v1.9.1, changelog inside) — when a new version ships, buyers get a fresh download link by email.
