Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Validate because the recipe is built to read survey and waitlist responses—the kind of evidence solo builders collect on landing pages before committing to a full build. Landing fits form-backed capture (interest surveys, beta signups, pricing polls) where the form ID exists and you need a structured response export.
How it compares
Prefer this recipe over manual Forms export when you want the same three gws commands encoded for agents instead of one-off browser downloads.
