Agentic product validation · MCP
Stop building things nobody wants.
Gecko is an AI founder review board inside Claude Code. It stress-tests your idea, sharpens your ICP, and turns the surviving concept into a fundable PRD — before you write code. You fund a workspace budget; agents pay per task under the hood.

Debate run
Kill, narrow, or green-light with cited pushback — not polite agreement.
Artifact
PRD in-repo
Fundable doc + tasks under .gecko/.
Who buys first
Claude Code / Cursor power users who can build — but fear building the wrong thing.
Primary ICP: technical founders, senior engineers, and AI-native builders already paying for coding agents. They need product judgment before the repo fills with code. Secondary: MVP studios and hackathon teams that need repeatable discovery artifacts.
Pains
- Ship fast with AI, then realize the idea was wrong.
- No disciplined pre-build review — chat bots agree too easily.
- Market and scope risk, not coding skill.
Early buyer signal
"I can build this weekend — I just don't know if it's worth building." Willing to pay $9–49 per validation run if the artifact is shareable and changes what they ship.
Defer for now
Pure crypto tourists, OpenRouter-only cost optimizers, and enterprises needing Jira governance on day one. We're validation-first; routing and scale come after the PRD is right.
I just want to build.
Gecko outputs a PRD and tasks you can paste into Claude Code — faster than refactoring a dead product.
I don't do crypto.
You top up a workspace budget; stablecoin settlement is infrastructure, not the hero story.
Why not ChatGPT?
Structured adversarial roles, repo-native artifacts, and a build/kill verdict — not a single-thread chat.
The builder loop
Validate first. Scaffold next. Route only when you're building the right thing.
Habits beat hero moments. Start with judgment (debate + PRD), then execution — optional cost-aware routing once scope is honest.

free digest
First run still takes ~3 minutes: fund workspace via frames.ag (email + USDC), paste skill line — see Install.
frames.ag · benchmark
Frames gives agents paid capabilities. Gecko gives founders judgment.
frames.ag is the wallet primitive — email onboarding, stablecoins, policy limits, and x402-friendly access to paid tools without API keys everywhere. Gecko sits on top: the adversarial validation workflow that decides what is worth building before your repo bloats. Same funded workspace: judgment runs, scaffold, and optional routed execution.
New wallet? Start at frames.ag. Existing username path: frames.ag/u/your-username.
Pattern match
Category: agentic product validation — not another agent OS.
Not an LLM router product
Routing is optional execution infrastructure — validation and the PRD artifact are the wedge.
Not “crypto-first” software
You see workspace budget and receipts — stablecoins are how agents settle per task, not the hero.
Not competing with frames.ag
They unlock paid tool access for agents; we unlock product judgment before code.
The debate
Five agents argue so you don't ship blind.
Pro streams an adversarial panel into Claude Code context: CEO-grade skepticism, market bite, scope discipline, builder realism. One settlement per run. Transcript + artifact stay in-repo.
Illustrative transcript pattern from a Pro session — formatting matches live output.
First paid product
One validation run → one screenshot-worthy artifact.
The debate is the mechanism; the deliverable is what you ship. A paid run ends with a structured doc in your repo — not a meandering chat log.
- 01
1. Verdict
Build · Narrow · Pivot · Kill — with one clear recommended move and why.
- 02
2. ICP & wedge
Who hurts most without this, exact wedge line, and who to ignore for V1.
- 03
3. Market risks
Demand, timing, competition, and the top reasons the idea could fail — cited where possible.
- 04
4. MVP scope
Acceptance criteria, explicit non-goals, and Scope Cop flags on hidden V2 work.
- 05
5. PRD (fundable shape)
Problem, solution narrative, success metrics, and narrative a teammate or investor can read cold.
- 06
6. Next tasks
Ordered implementation tasks to paste into Claude Code after validation (scaffold when you graduate).
Optional follow-on: gecko_scaffold after a Build/Narrow verdict — PRD and BUILDING.md under .gecko/scaffolds/.
Personas
Your AI founder review board lives beside your PRD.
After install they live in .claude/agents/. Claude Code invokes them during validation, scaffold, and scope checks — not as generic chat toys.
- research-analystEvidence-firstExplores the result. Runs free `gecko_ask` follow-ups grounded in indexed sources.show prompt →
You are the research analyst. Survey TAM, market dynamics, and 3 concrete comparables. Cite every source by chunk_id. Never speculate without an anchor.
- market-validatorAdversarialAdversarial reader of the validation report. Pushes back on weak demand signals.show prompt →
Your job is to disagree well. Pick the weakest TAM claim and the softest demand signal. Demand a sharper wedge or kill the line. Be bitey, never cruel.
- technical-architectBuilder-pilledTranslates `prd.v1_scope` into Next.js + Tailwind + Supabase architecture.show prompt →
Propose the V1 stack. Default to Next.js + Tailwind + Supabase. Add Solana when the primitive is on-chain. Be concrete, opinionated, no "depending on requirements".
- validatorScope copPre-implementation sanity check. Catches V2 features hiding in V1 scope.show prompt →
Read every acceptance criterion. Flag any that requires more than 4 days of work, more than 1 user, or any feature that should be V2. Reject; don't reformat.
- builderShip laneScaffolds via `npx create-next-app`. Implements V1 only. Cites PRD lines per commit.show prompt →
Run `npx create-next-app`. Implement only the V1 acceptance criteria. Every commit message references the prd.acceptance_criteria id. No V2 sneaking in.
Personas ship with the install — no prompt engineering required.
Optional · execution
After validation: stay inside your workspace budget.
When you're ready to execute, optionally route Claude Code subagent calls with transparent per-call receipts. This is not the wedge — it's infrastructure for builders who already passed product judgment.
This week: routed 142 calls · budget vs. naive default: lower
Example · per 100 calls
Premium model default path
$1.80 / 100 calls
Gecko routed path (illustrative)
$0.48 / 100 calls
~73% lower vs. illustrative premium baseline
Routing uses a task-hint matrix; numbers above are illustrative. Real receipts print next to each line in-terminal.

Go-to-market
Launch wedge: paste your idea — get a build/kill verdict and a fundable PRD.
Distribution follows the artifact. Optimize for shares: crisp verdicts, sharp ICP lines, and scope discipline people recognize in one screenshot.
Channels
- X / GitHub — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode power users.
- Solana & x402 builders — agentic payments credibility without leading the landing with wallets.
- Hackathons & AI founder Discords — validation before demo deadline.
Content loops
- Public idea teardowns and “Killed by Gecko” threads.
- Before/after positioning rewrites from real runs.
- Shareable PRD excerpts (anonymized) and founder testimonials.
- Contrast: building blind in v0 / Lovable / raw agent chat vs. validated PRD first.
Partnerships
- frames.ag — wallet + policy primitive; we’re the judgment workflow on top.
- Hackathon orgs — “paste idea → get verdict” booth flows.
- AI coding tool communities — complementary pre-build layer, not a replacement IDE.
Cadence
Sprint shipping, not slide-deck quarters.
Shipping order follows positioning: validation moat first, routing as execution infra, network effects last.

Margin note
Gecko uses x402-compatible rails so agents can settle per-task without you wiring every API vendor. For nitty-gritty receipts, run gecko-mcp economics <session_id> after any paid session — optional depth, not the hero story.
