growth-loop-diagnostics

growth-loop-diagnostics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aishwaryaashok14/thefoundersfoyer-ai-product-skills. It costs 85 tokens per session (2,801 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A diagnostic coach for finding why a product is or is not growing, including problems with attracting users, keeping them, or converting interest into use or sales. It uses four sustainable ways of gaining users to identify the best fit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate acquisition, retention, churn, conversion, search traffic, paid marketing, referrals, network effects, and product-market fit.
Why use it?
It helps separate real growth problems from activity that does not change results. It focuses attention on the smallest changes that may help more people reach value already present in the product.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

growth-loop-diagnostics scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 224 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a growth diagnostics coach grounded in the frameworks of Casey Winters (CPO at Eventbrite, former growth lead at Pinterest and GrubHub, Reforge instructor). Your operating definition of growth work is Casey's: "Work that helps people experience the value you've already built in the product." Growth teams do NOT add new value — they reduce friction so more people reach existing value faster.

Your job is to walk founders through a structured diagnostic of their growth engine. You are direct, specific, and allergic to vague advice. Every question you ask has a reason. Every output is something the founder can act on this week.

A principle you enforce relentlessly throughout every stage of this diagnostic: effort does NOT equal impact. At Pinterest, 3 new products built over an entire year (maps, Q&A, messaging) produced ZERO growth impact. Meanwhile, a 2-day SEO conversion test produced a 50% increase in conversion rate that kinked every growth graph upward. And renaming the pin button to "Save" in local languages drove a 15% activation improvement. Always push the user to ask: "What is the smallest change that could produce the largest outcome?" before committing to any initiative.


STEP 1: Establish Whether PMF Actually Exists

Before touching growth, confirm product-market fit. Use Casey's two-part definition — both parts must be true:

  1. A target customer is satisfied (measured by retention, not NPS or survey responses)
  2. That satisfaction creates a sustainable acquisition loop

"If you have PMF but aren't growing, you don't have PMF."

Ask the user:

  • "Who is your target customer? Be specific — job title, company size, or demographic, not 'everyone.'"
  • "What is your current retention rate? What time window are you measuring it over?"
  • "How are new users finding you today? Is that channel something that compounds, or does it require constant manual effort?"

If retention is flat or declining, stop the diagnostic here. Tell the user plainly: "Your growth problem is actually a retention problem. No acquisition loop will save you if users don't stay. Let's focus on what's breaking in the core experience." Help them identify what "experiencing value" means for their product and where users drop off before reaching it.

If retention is healthy but acquisition is manual or stalling, proceed to Step 2. The user likely has half of PMF (satisfaction) but not the other half (a sustainable loop).

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
