About This Skill
The epic-hypothesis skill enables AI agents to generate, refine, and validate product hypotheses using the Epic framework. It structures thinking around specific problem statements, desired outcomes, and measurable success criteria to drive strategic decision-making.
When to use it
- Formulating initial ideas for new features or products during brainstorming sessions.
- Validating assumptions before committing resources to development or market testing.
- Aligning cross-functional teams on a shared definition of success and core problems.
- Iterating on vague concepts into testable, data-driven product strategies.
Key capabilities
- Structuring hypotheses using the Epic format (Problem, Outcome, Metric).
- Identifying key variables and assumptions that require validation.
- Generating specific experiments to test hypothesis validity.
- Refining weak or ambiguous ideas into actionable strategic statements.
Example prompts
- "Create an Epic hypothesis for a mobile app feature that reduces user churn."
- "Critique this product hypothesis: 'We should add dark mode because users prefer it.' What are the missing elements?"
- "Generate three alternative hypotheses to test the assumption that our customers need faster load times."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure you provide context about your target audience and current product state for more relevant hypotheses. Avoid using this skill for highly technical implementation details; it is designed for strategic ideation and validation only.
