Value-First Development Skill

An Agent Skill that reframes every development decision around user value — asking "what is the simplest version of this that delivers value?" before reaching for complexity.

What it promotes

Value vs. complexity trade-off analysis before implementation
MVP thinking: what can be removed and still ship?
Deferring technical debt repayment when not blocking value
User story framing for technical tasks
"Done" definition based on user impact, not code completeness
Questioning gold-plating and premature optimization

Philosophy

Most codebases accumulate complexity faster than they accumulate value. This skill trains your agent to pull in the other direction — shipping smaller, more focused changes that move the needle for actual users.
