## When to Use
- Creating products (digital SaaS or physical goods)
- Generating product mockups and photography with AI
- Optimizing listings for marketplaces (Amazon, Etsy, Shopify)
- Validating ideas and measuring product-market fit
- Pricing strategy and launch planning

## Quick Reference

| Need | File |
|------|------|
| Validate an idea | `strategy/validation.md` |
| Prioritize features | `strategy/prioritization.md` |
| Track metrics | `strategy/metrics.md` |
| AI image tools | `visuals/ai-tools.md` |
| Product photo prompts | `visuals/prompts.md` |
| Image specs by platform | `visuals/specs.md` |
| Amazon FBA | `commerce/amazon.md` |
| Etsy selling | `commerce/etsy.md` |
| Print-on-demand | `commerce/pod.md` |
| Pricing strategies | `commerce/pricing.md` |
| Manufacturing compliance | `manufacturing/compliance.md` |

## Core Workflow

**Digital Products (SaaS):**
1. Validate → `strategy/validation.md` (interviews, smoke tests)
2. Define MVP → strip to one core value proposition
3. Prioritize → `strategy/prioritization.md` (RICE scoring)
4. Launch → beta program, iterate fast
5. Measure PMF → `strategy/metrics.md` (Sean Ellis 40%+)

**Physical Products:**
1. Design → ensure DFM compliance
2. Source → `manufacturing/compliance.md` for certs by region
3. Photograph → `visuals/prompts.md` for AI shots
4. List → platform-specific files in `commerce/`
5. Launch → limited drops, scarcity mechanics

**Merchandising (logo on products):**
1. Create design at highest resolution needed
2. Use AI mockup tools → `visuals/ai-tools.md`
3. Export platform-specific sizes → `visuals/specs.md`
4. List across platforms → `commerce/pod.md`

## Critical Rules
- **Validate before building** — always test demand first
- **Platform specs matter** — wrong dimensions = rejected listings
- **Pricing includes fees** — calculate true margins after all platform cuts
- **PMF before scaling** — 40%+ "very disappointed" on Sean Ellis test

Overview

This skill helps you build, visualize, and launch products using proven strategy frameworks, AI imaging tools, and marketplace optimization guidance. It covers both digital (SaaS) and physical products, from validation and prioritization to photography and listing specifications. The goal is to shorten time-to-launch while reducing common listing and manufacturing mistakes.

How this skill works

It inspects your product stage and recommends the appropriate workflow: validate ideas, define an MVP or design for manufacturing, and prioritize features using repeatable frameworks. For visuals it generates AI-driven mockup prompts and maps image specs per platform. For commerce it provides platform-specific listing and pricing guidance to ensure compliance and healthy margins.

When to use it

  • You have an idea and need fast validation and go/no-go criteria
  • You need product mockups or professional-looking photos generated with AI
  • You are preparing listings for Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, or print-on-demand services
  • You want to optimize pricing and launch mechanics before scaling
  • You need manufacturing compliance and sourcing checklists for physical goods

Best practices

  • Validate demand before building—run interviews and smoke tests to avoid wasted effort
  • Prioritize ruthlessly—use scoring (e.g., RICE) to pick one core value for the MVP
  • Always use platform-specific image and listing specs to avoid rejections
  • Include all fees when modeling pricing to protect true margins
  • Measure product-market fit (aim for 40%+ on Sean Ellis test) before scaling

Example use cases

  • Validate a SaaS feature set with lightweight interviews and an MVP launch plan
  • Generate high-resolution product mockups and export platform-ready images
  • Prepare an Amazon FBA listing with compliant images, copy, and pricing calculations
  • Launch a limited physical-product drop with scarcity mechanics to test demand
  • Create and distribute branded merch via print-on-demand with correct specs

FAQ

How should I validate a product idea quickly?

Run customer interviews, build simple smoke tests or landing pages, and measure interest; only proceed if demand signals meet your criteria.

What image specs matter most for marketplace listings?

Follow each platform's required dimensions, file types, and background rules—wrong specs often cause listing rejections or poor conversion.
