MVP Follow-Up
Rule
Recommend or execute only closeout work that makes the current MVP more real, verified, documented, or shippable. Do not propose new product scope unless there is a clear blocker to the MVP working for real users.
Workflow
- Identify the current feature or thread outcome.
- Check for unfinished work in this order:
- failing or skipped verification
- unreviewed real-data pilot results
- pending review/proposals/approval queues
- docs that no longer match behavior
- unrelated dirty files that block full prep/ship hygiene
- Recommend the smallest next batch that closes those gaps.
- Explicitly skip tempting bloat: new integrations, dashboards, settings, abstractions, or extra UI unless they directly unblock real use.
- If the user says "do it", run the closeout work in parallel where safe and keep edits minimal.
Output Shape
Lead with the concrete next step. Keep the list short. Separate:
- Do now: validation, real pilot, docs, or bug fixes.
- Defer: useful ideas that should wait for real user feedback.
- Blocker: any specific user/manual action needed.
Verification Bias
Prefer non-mutating checks when the worktree has unrelated dirty files. Use full
pnpm prep only when it will not rewrite someone else's concurrent work.
