Initial Assessment

初步评估

Check for product marketing context first: If 
.claude/product-marketing-context.md
or 
.cursor/product-marketing-context.md
exists, read it for product, audience, and brand voice.
Identify:
  1. Goal: Leads, community growth, brand awareness
  2. Platform fit: Indie Hacker, HN, Reddit, Discord, vertical forums
  3. Timeline: One-time launch vs sustained (4-6 months for Indie Hackers)
首先确认产品营销上下文：如果存在
.claude/product-marketing-context.md
或
.cursor/product-marketing-context.md
文件，请先读取该文件了解产品、受众和品牌调性。
需要确认以下信息：
  1. 目标：销售线索、社区增长、品牌曝光
  2. 平台适配性：Indie Hacker、HN、Reddit、Discord、垂直论坛
  3. 时间线：一次性发布 vs 长期运营（Indie Hackers需要4-6个月的持续投入）
