hypotheses
Manages the project's testable hypotheses — surfacing new ones, refining existing ones, updating status, reviewing the full set, and assessing hypothesis state based on evidence gathered so far. Use when the conversation touches assumptions, risks, what to validate, hypotheses, interview prep, assessing which hypotheses are confirmed or invalidated, reviewing overall hypothesis health, or when the user questions whether something about their idea is true.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill hypotheses --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From davepoon/buildwithclaude, a repository with 3,251 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
