From README
Purpose Guide product managers through selecting the right Proof of Life (PoL) probe type (of 5 flavors) based on their hypothesis, risk, and available resources. Use this when you need to eliminate a specific risk or test a narrow hypothesis, but aren't sure which validation method to use. This interactive skill ensures you match the cheapest prototype to the harshest truth—not the prototype you're most comfortable building. This is not a tool for deciding if you should validate (you should). It's a decision framework for choosing how to validate most effectively. Input Works best with: The hypothesis you want to validate or the risk you want to eliminate. Also useful: Your resources (time, budget, engineering access), audience access, and what failure would cost. Anything supplied with the invocation itself — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended ARGUMENTS: line — counts as answers already given. Use it and skip whatever it covers; don't re-ask.
