Assumption Mapper
Extracts hidden assumptions from a product brief or PRD, ranks them by risk, and names the cheapest test that could kill each one.

What it does
- Reads a product brief, PRD, or rough concept notes and pulls out the untested assumptions.
- Sorts them across four lenses — Desirability, Technical feasibility, Business viability, Usability — requiring at least one per lens so blind spots surface.
- Scores each assumption for load-bearing (1–5) and confidence (1–5), ranks by
Priority = load-bearing − confidence, and tags provenance as [data] or [intuition]. - Mechanically flags anything at Impact 4+ / Confidence ≤2 as CRITICAL.
- Picks the single riskiest assumption and names the cheapest test runnable this week, plus what failure would look like.
- Outputs a ranked assumption table and a "Top 3 to validate first" list, then hands the unresolved bet off as an Open Question for the PRD stage.
- Ships with a 0–40 scoring rubric, quality checks, and anti-patterns (e.g. never defaulting to "user interviews" for everything).
Who it's for
- PMs and product owners who want a risk pass before writing a PRD or starting build.
- Teams that inflate confidence simply because nobody challenged an assumption.
- Founders and leads reviewing incoming feature proposals.
- Note: it's product-management specific, needs an input document, and this copy is a machine translation into Spanish.
Example uses
- Audit a self-serve onboarding brief — from "reduce time-to-value for SMB customers," it produces rows like "SMB users can complete onboarding without human help" (Usability, confidence 2 / impact 5 → CRITICAL) with an unmoderated usability test (n=8) as the validation method.
- Risk-audit an existing PRD — paste the PRD and ask for a risk audit; it fills in the neglected technical and commercial assumptions and returns a Top 3 with effort estimates.
- Design a validation plan — for the riskiest bet it recommends concrete methods (cohort analysis, fake door, desk check, engineering spike) with sample size and effort instead of generic "do research."

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the i18n/es/skills/assumption-mapper folder from the GitHub repo mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/assumption-mapper/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r pm-claude-skills/i18n/es/skills/assumption-mapper ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal (Terminal on macOS, Git Bash or WSL on Windows).
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills.git - Create the skills folder if needed:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r pm-claude-skills/i18n/es/skills/assumption-mapper ~/.claude/skills/(for the English original usepm-claude-skills/skills/assumption-mapper). - Verify with
ls ~/.claude/skills/assumption-mapperthatSKILL.mdplus thereferences/andtemplates/folders are present; if they're missing, copy them from the originalskills/assumption-mapper/directory. - Restart Claude Code and try: "Review this product brief for hidden assumptions."
