About this plugin
This markdown-only pre-mortem skill examines a proposed landing page, MVP, SaaS product, internal tool, major feature, or agent workflow before engineering work starts. It produces a short product-risk verdict to help founders, product teams, and AI-assisted builders identify concerns early.
Reach for it when you want a structured risk check before committing development time. It is delivered as an instruction skill rather than a standalone application or external service.
