$npx -y skills add gnurio/pmf-plugin --skill pmf-statusShow current PMF project status and recommend next action. This skill should be used when checking where you are in the PMF workflow or deciding what to do next.
| 1 | # PMF Status |
| 2 | |
| 3 | This skill provides a quick overview of your current PMF validation state and recommends the next skill to run in the workflow. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Purpose |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Display current status showing: |
| 8 | 1. Which PMF workflow stage you're in (Hypothesis → Broad Validation → Targeted Validation → Measurement) |
| 9 | 2. What artifacts exist (narrative version, research files, interview count, etc.) |
| 10 | 3. Overall confidence level and riskiest dimension |
| 11 | 4. Specific next recommended action |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ## When to Use This Skill |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Use this skill when: |
| 16 | - Starting a PMF session and need to know where you left off |
| 17 | - Completed a skill and want to confirm next step |
| 18 | - Have multiple PMF projects and need to check status of one |
| 19 | - Want to see progress overview before presenting to stakeholders |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Always safe to use - this is a read-only skill that won't modify anything. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ## Workflow |
| 24 | |
| 25 | ### Phase 1: Locate PMF Project |
| 26 | |
| 27 | 1. **Search for PMF projects**: |
| 28 | ``` |
| 29 | Use Glob: **/pmf-*/pmf-narrative.md |
| 30 | ``` |
| 31 | |
| 32 | 2. **If multiple projects found**: |
| 33 | Use AskUserQuestion to select which project to show status for |
| 34 | |
| 35 | 3. **If no projects found**: |
| 36 | Display: "No PMF projects found. Run `/pmf-hypothesis-builder` to create one." |
| 37 | |
| 38 | ### Phase 2: Detect Workflow State |
| 39 | |
| 40 | Read and analyze project folder to determine state: |
| 41 | |
| 42 | **Artifacts to check**: |
| 43 | - `pmf-narrative.md` (exists? which version?) |
| 44 | - `validation/market-research-synthesis.md` (exists?) |
| 45 | - `validation/expert-notes.md` (exists?) |
| 46 | - `validation/risk-prioritization.md` (exists?) |
| 47 | - `interviews/` (how many debrief files?) |
| 48 | - `validation/interview-synthesis.md` (exists?) |
| 49 | - `validation/targeted-validation-plan.md` (exists?) |
| 50 | - `measurement/pmf-metrics.md` (exists?) |
| 51 | |
| 52 | **Workflow stages** (determined by artifacts): |
| 53 | |
| 54 | 1. **Stage 0: No project** |
| 55 | - Artifacts: None |
| 56 | - Status: "Not started" |
| 57 | - Next: `/pmf-hypothesis-builder` |
| 58 | |
| 59 | 2. **Stage 1: Initial Hypothesis** |
| 60 | - Artifacts: pmf-narrative.md V1 only |
| 61 | - Status: "Hypothesis created, broad validation not started" |
| 62 | - Next: `/pmf-market-research` |
| 63 | |
| 64 | 3. **Stage 2A: Market Research In Progress** |
| 65 | - Artifacts: V1 + market-research-synthesis.md |
| 66 | - Status: "Market research complete, synthesis pending" |
| 67 | - Next: "Conduct expert calls (optional), then run `/pmf-research-synthesis`" |
| 68 | |
| 69 | 4. **Stage 2B: Broad Validation Complete** |
| 70 | - Artifacts: V1 + market-research + risk-prioritization + pmf-narrative V2 |
| 71 | - Status: "Broad validation complete, riskiest dimension identified" |
| 72 | - Next: Check confidence → interview prep or targeted validation |
| 73 | |
| 74 | 5. **Stage 3A: PMF Interviews In Progress** |
| 75 | - Artifacts: V2 + interviews/debrief-*.md files |
| 76 | - Status: "Conducted {count} PMF interviews, {X} remaining for 30-50 target" |
| 77 | - Next: "Continue interviews, then run `/pmf-interview-synthesis`" |
| 78 | |
| 79 | 6. **Stage 3B: Interviews Complete, Synthesis Pending** |
| 80 | - Artifacts: V2 + 30+ debrief files, no interview-synthesis.md |
| 81 | - Status: "Interviews complete, ready for synthesis" |
| 82 | - Next: `/pmf-interview-synthesis` |
| 83 | |
| 84 | 7. **Stage 3C: Ready for Targeted Validation** |
| 85 | - Artifacts: V3 (post-interviews) + riskiest dimension confirmed |
| 86 | - Status: "PMF interviews complete, ready for targeted validation" |
| 87 | - Next: `/pmf-validation-planner` |
| 88 | |
| 89 | 8. **Stage 4: Targeted Validation In Progress** |
| 90 | - Artifacts: V3+ + targeted-validation-plan.md |
| 91 | - Status: "Running {technique} to validate {dimension}" |
| 92 | - Next: "Complete validation, then run `/pmf-validation-results-analyzer`" |
| 93 | |
| 94 | 9. **Stage 5: Ready to Build & Measure** |
| 95 | - Artifacts: V4+ with all dimensions confidence >7 |
| 96 | - Status: "PMF hypothesis validated, ready to build MVP" |
| 97 | - Next: "Build product, then run `/pmf-metrics-setup`" |
| 98 | |
| 99 | 10. **Stage 6: Measuring PMF** |
| 100 | - Artifacts: pmf-metrics.md exists |
| 101 | - Status: "MVP live, measuring PMF metrics" |
| 102 | - Next: "Collect data, then run `/pmf-status-evaluator`" |
| 103 | |
| 104 | ### Phase 3: Read Key Metrics |
| 105 | |
| 106 | From `pmf-narrative.md`, extract: |
| 107 | - Current version (V1, V2, V3, etc.) |
| 108 | - Last updated date |
| 109 | - Product name and type |
| 110 | - Overall confidence (average across 6 dimensions) |
| 111 | - Riskiest dimension |
| 112 | - Validation status table |
| 113 | |
| 114 | From other files (if they exist): |
| 115 | - Number of analogs/antilogs found (from market-research-synthesis.md) |
| 116 | - Number of interviews conducted (count debrief files) |
| 117 | - Targeted validation technique used (from validation plan) |
| 118 | |
| 119 | ### Phase 4: Display Status |
| 120 | |
| 121 | Format output clearly: |
| 122 | |
| 123 | ``` |
| 124 | # PMF Status: {Product Name} |
| 125 | |
| 126 | **Stage**: {Stage name from above} |
| 127 | **Last updated**: {date from narrative} |
| 128 | **Overall confidence**: {average}/10 |
| 129 | **Riskiest dimension**: {dimension} (Confidence: {score}/10) |
| 130 | |
