aid-design-mvp is a skill for Claude Code from AndreVianna/aid-methodology. It costs 156 tokens per session (1,297 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning aid for deciding the MVP, meaning the smallest first version that can be shipped. It records what belongs in that first slice, what is postponed, and why.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose the first shippable features, defer later work, and document the reason for each choice. It prepares a design for a separate roadmap step.
Why use it?
It helps teams draw a clear boundary around the first release instead of trying to build everything at once.

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

aid-design-mvp 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 26d 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 — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Design MVP (draw the first-slice line as a design seed, resolve nothing)

/aid-design-mvp draws the line for the first shippable slice as a design seed in .aid/design/mvp.md. It is a design-stage skill under the shared contract in .aid/runtime/templates/design-lifecycle.md, which this skill binds to and does not restate. It never writes .aid/knowledge/roadmap.md and never writes production code (design-lifecycle.md § The three stages -- the design invariant); realizing a ready seed into roadmap.md's ## MVP section is /aid-create-mvp's job, not this one's -- this skill writes no KB document at all, only within .aid/design/.

  • Boundary vs /aid-design-roadmap: this skill draws the first-slice line only -- what ships first, what defers, and why each cut was made. Direction beyond that slice is /aid-design-roadmap's own act, not this one's.
  • Boundary vs /aid-create-mvp: that skill realizes a ready seed into roadmap.md's ## MVP section only; this one only develops it. Neither resolves anything on its own -- the user decides when a seed is ready to realize.
  • Not a numbered pipeline phase; does not route to /aid-execute.

State machine: INTAKE -> DESIGN -> VERIFY (loop) -> PRESENT [user decides] -> DONE. Print the [State: NAME] -- {purpose} entry line on each state.


State: INTAKE

  1. Require a subject. Empty argument -> ask one bootstrapping question ("What belongs in the first shippable slice, and what should defer?") and wait.
  2. Allocate, exactly per design-lifecycle.md § Skill shape -- Allocation -- the Work Initiation Gate, then initiator: aid-design-mvp, active_skill: aid-design-mvp, pipeline.path: lite, lifecycle: Running. phase is not driven.
  3. Acquire .aid/design/. Per design-lifecycle.md § Before writing a seed -- ensure the folder exists and seed its README.md on first use, before writing anything.
  4. Read the existing seed, if one is present. .aid/design/mvp.md -- re-invocation iterates the same seed rather than starting over.
  5. Classify complexity (model + effort) for the aid-architect dispatch below; verifier tier >= producer tier (agent-dispatch-tiering.md).

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.
