What the author says

Pre-build product and feature risk review for founders, product managers, and AI-assisted builders. Use this skill when the user is about to build a landing page, MVP, SaaS product, internal tool, agent workflow, or major feature and needs to check demand, positioning, monetization, retention, trust, distribution, and adoption risk before implementation starts.

Compatibility and requirements

• Use an agent runtime that supports Agent Skills and the linked SKILL.md format.
• Confirm the source repository's tools, SDKs, and platform prerequisites for ui and frontend work.

How to install or import it

• Open the linked GitHub SKILL.md and review its scope and setup instructions.
• Install or import the skill using the agent runtime's documented workflow.
• Run a small, non-sensitive test and verify the output before broader use.

Permissions and risks

• Review every command, file path, network request, dependency, and credential scope before enabling it.
• GitHub stars indicate popularity, not safety or correctness; validate the source and test with non-sensitive data.

Example workflows

• Ask an AI agent to apply Before You Build to ui and frontend work described in the source record.
• Have the agent state assumptions, required tools, and expected output before using this design & frontend skill.
• Compare the result with the linked GitHub SKILL.md and verify it against your project requirements.
