What Is a Microproduct?

A microproduct is a focused app that turns data into usable tools and real utility.

Core Characteristics

  • Solves one high-value problem clearly.
  • Uses data to drive outcomes, not dashboards alone.
  • Ships quickly and iterates based on real usage.

Why This Matters

LLMs and agentic workflows reduce build friction. The opportunity is to empower technical talent to create practical, high-impact tools faster.

Your path on this site

Follow the same operational sequence humans and agents use when turning an idea into a registry-ready product:

  1. Define the folder contract — Anchor the problem statement, artifacts, and local agent instructions.
  2. Pick an archetype — Choose the nearest product pattern before implementation starts.
  3. Clone a starter — Fork the closest template from product-templates.
  4. Validate and register — Run validation, review outputs, and publish registry metadata.

Browse registry.json for active products and maturity, Archetypes for patterns, Templates for starters, and Standards for contracts. If you are automating the work, use the agents hub for machine-readable entrypoints.
