Turn a product idea into a manual-first process you can start delivering today. Use when you have an idea and want to figure out how to deliver value by hand before writing any code.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/slavingia/skills /tmp/skills && ln -s /tmp/skills/skills/processize ~/.claude/skills/processize
```

## From README

Core Principle Processize before you productize. Every great product started as someone doing the work by hand. Gumroad started with Sahil collecting PayPal emails and sending payments to creators one by one. Your product should start the same way. "Most apps on the internet are just forms and lists." Your job right now is not to build software. It's to prove you can deliver value to real people, manually. Step 1: What's the Product Idea? Ask the user to describe what they want to build. Then strip it down: What is the one thing this product does for a customer? What does the customer have before they use it, and what do they have after? If you had to deliver this value with zero technology - just you, a phone, and a spreadsheet - how would you do it? "Can I ship it in a weekend?" If not, reduce scope until you can. Step 2: Who Needs This Today? Connect the idea back to a real community: Who is already trying to solve this problem with a workaround? Where do these people hang out?
