customer-lens-kickoff

The kickoff interview that pins down who a feature is for, persisted where every later verification can judge as that person.

What it is

The skill form of the customer lens: at every project or feature kickoff, it interviews me about the target customer and persists the answers as a persona block in the project's agent instructions, where every later verification can find them.

Why

Asking “who is this for?” once, at kickoff, is cheap. Discovering the answer at review time — after the copy, the flows, and the checks were all built for nobody in particular — is not.

How I use it

Feature kickoffs on an already-bound project need only one delta question — same customer, or different here? The persona block gets pasted verbatim into review prompts so the walkthroughs run as a specific person, not 'a user.'

Get it

The whole method is downloadable and adaptable — skills/customer-lens-kickoff/SKILL.md inside the zip.
