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.

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.
