Help users conduct effective usability testing. Use when someone is planning user tests, designing prototype validation, preparing usability studies, or trying to understand why users struggle with their product.
Define a Proof of Life (PoL) probe—a lightweight validation artifact that surfaces harsh truths before expensive development. Use it to test hypotheses with minimal investment.
Talk to customers without leading them using Mom Test rules: discuss their life not your idea, ask about specifics in the past, and talk less. Use when the user mentions "customer interviews", "validate my idea", "users say they want it but don't buy", "leading questions", or "The Mom Test". Covers commitment and advancement, avoiding compliments, and extracting signal from noise. For product-market fit, see jobs-to-be-done. For rapid prototype testing, see design-sprint.
Frame epics as testable hypotheses using an if/then structure that articulates the action or solution, the target beneficiary, the expected outcome, and how you'll validate success. Use this to manage
Systematically explore what customers are trying to accomplish (functional, social, emotional jobs), the pains they experience, and the gains they seek. Use this framework to uncover unmet needs, vali
Design Sprint methodology based on Jake Knapp's "Sprint" (Google Ventures). Use when you need to: (1) validate product ideas in 5 days instead of months, (2) rapidly prototype and test solutions, (3) answer critical business questions quickly, (4) align teams on product direction, (5) de-risk product development before building, (6) test multiple concepts with real users, (7) make fast strategic decisions through structured process.
Search and analyze Reddit content using semantic AI search via reddit-insights.com MCP server. Use when you need to: (1) Find user pain points and frustrations for product ideas, (2) Discover niche markets or underserved needs, (3) Research what people really think about products/topics, (4) Find content inspiration from real discussions, (5) Analyze sentiment and trends on Reddit, (6) Validate business ideas with real user feedback. Triggers: reddit search, find pain points, market research, user feedback, what do people think about, reddit trends, niche discovery, product validation.
Structure complex questions into testable hypotheses. Use when validating product ideas, debugging problems, planning experiments, or breaking down ambiguous challenges into actionable research.
Help users run effective customer discovery conversations and extract actionable insights. Use when someone is preparing for user research, planning discovery interviews, writing interview questions, analyzing findings, validating problems, understanding customer behavior, or trying to learn what customers actually want. Triggers include mentions of "customer interviews", "user research", "discovery calls", "talking to customers", "validating ideas", "customer conversations", "problem validation", or questions about what to ask customers.
Design lean startup experiments (pretotypes) for a new product. Creates XYZ hypotheses and suggests low-effort validation methods like landing pages, explainer videos, and pre-orders. Use when validating a new product idea, creating pretotypes, or testing market demand.
Use when asked to "run a design sprint", "5-day sprint", "prototype in a week", "test ideas before building", or "Jake Knapp sprint". Helps teams go from problem to tested prototype in five days. The Design Sprint framework (created by Jake Knapp at Google Ventures) compresses months of work into one focused week.
Plan, run, and synthesize usability tests and produce a Usability Test Pack (test plan, tasks/script, logistics, notes template, issue log, findings + recommendations). Use for usability test, user test, prototype test, user testing, usability study, Wizard of Oz, fake door.
