memstack-product-mvp-scoper is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cwinvestments/memstack. It costs 65 tokens per session (2,506 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for scoping a minimum viable product (MVP), the smallest useful version of a product that can test a central idea.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to rank features, estimate effort and impact, define a short sprint, and set success criteria.
Why use it?
It helps teams limit the first build to the features needed to learn whether the idea works.

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

memstack-product-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 yesterday.

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 — 289 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

MVP Scoper: Scoping minimum viable product...

Defines the smallest buildable product that validates a core hypothesis using feature triage, effort/impact scoring, a 2-week sprint scope, and success criteria.

Activation

When this skill activates, output:

MVP Scoper: Scoping minimum viable product...

Then execute the protocol below.

Context Guard

Context Status
User says "MVP", "minimum viable product", "scope the MVP" ACTIVE
User says "what should I build first" or "strip to core" ACTIVE
User has an idea and wants to know the smallest thing to build ACTIVE
User wants a full product requirements document DORMANT: use PRD Writer
User wants a roadmap beyond MVP DORMANT: use Roadmap Builder

Common Mistakes

Mistake Why It's Wrong
"MVP means bad quality" Minimum viable means minimum scope, not minimum quality. Ship fewer features, but polish them.
"Add just one more thing" Every "one more thing" adds a week. The MVP is a hypothesis test, not a product launch.
"Build the whole backend first" Start with what users see and interact with. Fake the backend if needed (wizard of oz MVP).
"Skip the hypothesis" Without a hypothesis, you're just building. The MVP exists to test ONE assumption.
"No success criteria" How will you know if the MVP worked? Define the test before building.

Protocol

Step 1: Define the Hypothesis

If the user hasn't provided details, ask:

  1. Idea: what are you building? (one paragraph)
  2. Target user: who is the first user? (be specific: not "everyone")
  3. Problem: what painful problem does this solve?
  4. Assumption: what's the riskiest assumption? (the thing that must be true for this to work)
  5. Existing alternatives: how do people solve this today?

Hypothesis template:

## Core Hypothesis

We believe that [target users]
have a problem with [specific pain point].

If we build [proposed solution],
they will [expected behavior: sign up, pay, use weekly, share].

We will know this is true when [measurable success criteria].

### Riskiest Assumption
[The single assumption that, if wrong, makes the whole product fail]

### How the MVP Tests This
[Specifically how the MVP will validate or invalidate the assumption]

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.
