Guides the launch of a project — whether an internal product or a client engagement — through a 5-phase workflow (Framing / Discovery / MVP / PMF / Growth) that draws on the playbooks of Altman, Graham, Cagan, Ries, the Mom Test, Working Backwards, the Design Sprint, and Sean Ellis's 40% rule. Use this skill as soon as the user says: "launch a project", "kickoff", "how do I get started", "I have an idea", "validate an idea", "MVP", "PMF", "product-market fit", "discovery", "should I build X", "start a project", "launch", "go-to-market", "launch a product", "onboard a client", "first project", "from zero to one", "scope a project", "frame a project", "where do I start with my project", or any phrasing that involves the structured kickoff of a new project/product/feature/client engagement. Includes hard gates (≥5 Mom Test interviews before Phase 2, the 40% rule measured before declaring PMF) and warnings about the classic anti-patterns (schlep blindness, vanity metrics, founder mode break, premature hiring). Do NOT confuse with ceo-challenger (challenging existing decisions), architecture-conceptor (technical design), apply (backlog execution), generate-business-model (business model), senior-dev (implementation decisions). Covers the what / why / how-to-validate, not the how-to-code.
