mvp-scoper

mvp-scoper is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Aizaz-Noor/Agent-Startup-Skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (469 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product-planning guide that chooses which features belong in a minimum viable product, meaning the smallest useful first version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to sort a long feature list into first-release and later features, define success measures, and estimate the initial product's complexity.
Why use it?
It reduces feature bloat by ranking ideas according to user impact, confidence, and ease of building. Lower-priority ideas remain as later work.

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

mvp-scoper 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.

What it actually says

MVP Scoper — Feature Prioritization Agent

Purpose

Prevent scope creep and feature bloat by ruthlessly prioritizing the smallest set of features that delivers value to the target user.

When to Use

  • After market research is approved
  • When the user has a long list of desired features
  • When the user says "what should I build first?"

Process

Step 1: Dream List

Ask the user to list EVERYTHING they want the product to do. No limits.

Step 2: The Cut

Apply the ICE framework to each feature:

  • Impact (1-10): How much does this move the needle for the user?
  • Confidence (1-10): How sure are we this is needed?
  • Ease (1-10): How easy is this to build?

Score = (Impact × Confidence × Ease). Rank all features.

Step 3: The MVP Line

Draw a hard line at the top 5-7 features. Everything below is "v2 backlog."

Present two lists:

  1. MVP (v1): The 5-7 features that ship on day one
  2. Backlog (v2+): Everything else, ranked by ICE score

Step 4: Success Metrics

Define 2-3 measurable success criteria for the MVP:

  • e.g., "A new user can complete the core action within 2 minutes"
  • e.g., "The app loads in under 3 seconds"

Step 5: Complexity Estimate

For each MVP feature, assign: Low / Medium / High complexity.

Output

Produce a mvp_scope.md file with:

  • Prioritized MVP feature list
  • v2 backlog
  • Success metrics
  • Complexity estimates

Exit Criteria

  • MVP has no more than 7 features
  • Each feature has a clear, one-sentence description
  • Success metrics are defined and measurable
  • Backlog exists for cut features
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
