# PMF Superpowers

A Claude Code plugin that runs your startup through Sequoia's product-market-fit framework — and refuses to advance when the evidence isn't there.

## What it does

Describe your startup, and the plugin places you in one of Sequoia's three archetypes — Hair on Fire, Hard Fact, Future Vision — then works the **Four Terrifying Questions** as stage gates:

1. **Right to exist.** Ready to marry this idea for a decade-plus?
2. **Do people care enough?** 50+ cold conversations, <30% warm-intro'd, ≥30% lean-in.
3. **Does the product change behavior?** Real switching, not polite enthusiasm.
4. **Will they pay enough?** Pricing that holds, not pricing that pleases.

It pulls analogous cases from iconic startups when a precedent beats abstract argument.

## What it refuses

Claim Q2 with eight conversations — the plugin returns the evidence gap. Claim PMF on revenue from outside your ICP — it refuses the claim. Reach for one of the twenty-five common founder rationalizations (*"the market will tell us once we ship"*) and the plugin returns the counter and the data that would clear the gate.

The refusal is the product. Frameworks without enforcement are decoration.

## The five reference cases

- **Nubank** — Q1 and Q2 inside a regulated credit-card market
- **DoorDash** — Q2 by refusing non-restaurant merchants
- **Dropbox** — Q3 through the viral-onboarding rebuild
- **Square** — Q4 with transaction-fee pricing
- **Robinhood** — Q2 by serving active traders first

Each case ships with verbatim sourcing. No paraphrase-as-quote.

## Install

```
/plugin install pmf-superpowers@anthropic
```

From the Claude Code marketplace. The framework loads on the first PMF-shaped question.

## Use it

Three prompts that invoke the plugin:

> *"I want to find product-market fit for my startup."*

> *"We've talked to twelve users. They all said they'd buy it. Are we at Q2?"*

> *"Should we take this enterprise check from a customer outside our ICP?"*

The agent asks for your archetype first, then routes to the right question. When you claim resolution, expect something like this:

> **REFUSED.** Twelve conversations is not fifty. Warm-intro share unknown. Lean-in rate not measured. Q2 stays open. Next move: thirty more cold conversations, log lean-in per call, then re-test.

[Paul Dabrowski](https://github.com/pauldabrowski85) at [EnactSkill](https://enactskill.com). The question-skills and corpus cases were generated by EnactSkill's eval-and-refuse engine from Sequoia, *The Mom Test*, Steve Blank, and April Dunford — held to the same threshold the plugin holds you to.
