mvp-scoper

mvp-scoper is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from batterfried-philosophy172/Agent-Startup-Skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (469 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of mvp-scoper, MIT.

A product-planning guide for choosing the smallest set of features needed for a first release, often called a minimum viable product, or MVP.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for turning a long feature list into an MVP and backlog, defining success measures, and estimating implementation complexity.
Why use it?
It helps reduce scope creep—the gradual expansion of a project beyond its original purpose—by ranking features and separating the first release from 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

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.
