Description
identify-assumptions-new is an agent skill that finds the risky assumptions behind a new product idea. It extends the four core product risks from Teresa Torres's Continuous Discovery Habits, which are value, usability, viability and feasibility, to eight risk categories. The four additional categories cover what matters most for a startup: ethics, go-to-market, strategy and objectives, and the team. You describe the product idea and, if you have them, the business plan or research files, which the skill reads first. It then examines each category and lists the assumptions a founder is making without evidence, so the team knows which ones to test before committing money or time. The output is meant for a team to act on, rather than a general list of startup worries. The skill suits founders and early product teams doing a risk review, and it is part of the pm-skills collection by phuryn, listed on skills.sh as free.…
