5## Initial Assessment
6 
7**Check for product marketing context first:**
8If `.agents/product-marketing.md` exists (or `.claude/product-marketing.md`, or the legacy `product-marketing-context.md` filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

10Before providing recommendations, understand:
11 
121. **Product Context** - What type of product? B2B or B2C? Core value proposition?
132. **Activation Definition** - What's the "aha moment"? What action indicates a user "gets it"?
143. **Current State** - What happens after signup? Where do users drop off?

18## Core Principles

20### 1. Time-to-Value Is Everything
21Remove every step between signup and experiencing core value. Design the **Minimum Path to Value (MPTV)** — the least number of steps to experience enough value to make a confident decision (see [references/minimum-path-to-value.md](references/minimum-path-to-value.md)).

23### 2. One Goal Per Session
24Focus first session on one successful outcome. Save advanced features for later.
