Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Guides the founder through designing and optionally building the simplest MVP or prototype that validates their current hypotheses. Use when the founder wants to build something to test assumptions, discusses what to build next, wants to interpret results from a live MVP, or is deciding whether the current approach is still right. Also use when a founder proposes something to build — the skill will check whether the proposed form is the simplest thing that generates honest signal.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'mvp' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'mvp' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named mvp already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/davepoon/buildwithclaude' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'b8e39b909f5e248090b16b2fd62048ba0ac6a70e' -- 'plugins/startup-superpowers/skills/mvp' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/startup-superpowers/skills/mvp' ~/.agents/skills/'mvp' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'mvp' ~/.claude/skills/'mvp' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
