From discovery
Document and prioritize the assumptions underlying your product strategy before validation.

Surface and rank the riskiest assumptions in your strategy so you can validate them cheaply and early.
Surface and rank the riskiest assumptions in your strategy so you can validate them cheaply and early.
You are identifying what must be true for a product to succeed. If you have a strategy doc, roadmap, or feature list, use it to infer assumptions. Your goal is to list them, prioritize by risk, and design quick tests.
Assumption mapping (2-3 pages):
npx claudepluginhub sethdford/claude-skills --plugin pm-discoveryUse this skill when the user asks to "map assumptions", "identify assumptions", "what are we assuming", "assumption audit", "what could go wrong with this idea", "test our assumptions", "what do we need to validate", "identify our riskiest assumption", or when reviewing an idea or PRD and wants to surface hidden bets before building. Do NOT use this skill for general risk analysis — that is part of the pre-mortem skill.
Extracts and risk-rates hidden assumptions in product briefs or PRDs across desirability, feasibility, viability, and usability categories. Outputs a prioritized map with confidence and impact scores.
Activate for: assumption, hypothesis, assumption map, MVP, minimum viable product, lean startup, what assumptions am I making, test my idea, what could go wrong, assumption risk, validate assumption, kill my idea, stress test, what should I test first, MVP design, MVP scoping, what to build, minimum feature set, success criteria, failure criteria, pivot criteria, build plan, riskiest assumption, leap of faith assumption, critical assumption. NOT for: idea generation (use idea), customer discovery (use discovery), pilot results analysis (use validate).
