Find out where your AI project dies before you build it

MIT found 95% of AI projects fail because people build the wrong thing for months. This free skill flips Claude from a yes-man into your toughest critic, so you catch it on day one.

  • The exact premortem prompt, copy-paste ready (works in any model)
  • How to read the output: failure modes, warning signs, hidden assumptions
  • The reusable Claude Code skill so you can just type 'premortem this'
  • Why it works: a real decision method (Klein, made famous by Kahneman), not a prompt hack

A look inside

What's inside

01

The Premortem Prompt

Start with the number that should scare you: MIT found that about 95% of enterprise AI projects fail to deliver a return, and concluded the cause isn't the technology, it's the approach.

02

The Prompt

Swap the bracket for your actual plan, a product launch, a content strategy, a hire, a feature, a big purchase.

03

The Most Valuable Line Is the Hidden Assumption

Point 3 of the output, the assumption you didn't know you were making, is almost always the highest-leverage part.
