Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00033 | $0.01617 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00809 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00323 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00162 |
Grade A, and why
mvp-scoping 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 11d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to mvp-scoping — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
MVP Scoping
When to Use
Activate when a founder or PM has an idea or a full feature spec and needs to distill it down to the smallest version worth building. Trigger phrases include "what's our MVP," "what should we cut," "scope this down," "what do we build first," "we only have 4 weeks," or "help me prioritize what to include." Also activate when a team is struggling with scope creep and needs to draw a clear line between must-have and nice-to-have.
Context Required
- From startup-context: company stage, team size, runway/timeline pressure, existing product (if any), technical stack and constraints.
- From the user: the full feature vision or spec, target user segment, the core hypothesis being tested, available timeline and resources, any non-negotiable requirements (compliance, security, contractual commitments).
Workflow
- State the hypothesis — Define what the MVP is designed to learn or prove. Format: "We believe that [user segment] will [behavior] if we provide [capability], and we'll know we're right when [measurable signal]."
- List all candidate features — Enumerate every feature, capability, and requirement from the full vision.
- Apply MoSCoW prioritization — Classify every item as Must Have, Should Have, Could Have, or Won't Have (this time).
- Identify risks — For each Must Have, identify technical, market, and execution risks. Flag any Must Have that carries high risk and may need a spike or prototype first.
- Define the cut line — Draw a clear boundary. Everything above the line ships in v1. Everything below has a specific trigger for when it gets built.
- Estimate and validate — Rough-size the Must Haves. If they exceed the available timeline by more than 20%, force-rank the Must Haves and demote the lowest.
- Write the MVP spec — Produce a concise scope document with explicit inclusions, exclusions, and deferred items.
Output Format
Hypothesis Statement
One sentence stating what the MVP will test and how success is measured.
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.

mvp-scoping is a skill published in the GitHub repository Maudeunfledged834/startup-founder-skills (6 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 1,617 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to mvp-scoping, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
