Startup Validator
This is a structured framework for validating startup ideas through systematic market research. It walks Claude through a complete validation process: clarifying the idea, running 10-15+ web searches across market size, competitors, problem validation, and trends, then synthesizing everything into a comprehensive report with TAM/SAM estimates, competitive analysis, and a clear go/no-go recommendation. The workflow is thorough, maybe even a bit rigid, but that's the point. It keeps the analysis grounded in actual research rather than speculation. If you're evaluating a business idea and want more than surface-level feedback, this gives you a proper validation report with sources and specific numbers. Best for founders who need honest market assessment before committing resources.

Startup Validator
A comprehensive tool for analyzing startup ideas through systematic market research, competitive analysis, problem validation, and positioning strategy. This skill helps evaluate whether a startup idea has genuine market potential and how to position it effectively.
Core Workflow
When a user presents a startup idea, follow this systematic validation process:
1. Idea Clarification & Scoping (2-3 minutes)
Ensure complete understanding before research begins:
Extract key information:
- Problem being solved
- Target customer/market
- Proposed solution
- Business model (if mentioned)
- Geographic focus (default: global/US)
Ask clarifying questions only if critical information is missing:
- "Who specifically is your target customer?"
- "What problem are they currently facing?"
- "How are they solving this problem today?"
Do not ask for information you can research independently (market size, competitors, trends).
2. Research Plan Development (1 minute)
