name: founder description: Use when validating ideas, sizing markets, building pitch decks, preparing for investors, modeling financials, planning launches, or creating board reports. Auto-activates on fundraising, pitch, investor, TAM/SAM/SOM, unit economics, runway, or board deck tasks.

Founder Skill

Router skill for startup workflows. Detects task type and routes to appropriate workflow that produces usable artifacts.

When This Skill Activates

You're working on:

  • Validating a product idea or value proposition
  • Calculating market size (TAM/SAM/SOM)
  • Analyzing competitive landscape or threats
  • Building or evaluating a pitch deck
  • Preparing for investor meetings
  • Modeling unit economics, projections, or cash flow
  • Planning a product launch
  • Creating board reports or updates

Workflow Selection

Announce which workflow you're using before starting:

Task TypeWorkflowReferenceOutput Artifact
Idea validation, stress testingValidate Ideareferences/validate.mdJSON scores + GO/ITERATE/KILL
TAM/SAM/SOM, market opportunitySize Marketreferences/market-size.mdTables + Marp slide
Competition, threats, positioningAnalyze Competitionreferences/compete.mdThreat matrix + heat map
Pitch deck creation or evalBuild Pitch Deckreferences/pitch.mdMarp deck (10-12 slides)

From this skill's references/:

ToolWhen to Use
Regret MinimizationMajor founder decisions (quit job, pivot, shut down)

Usage

  1. Detect which workflow applies based on user's task
  2. Announce: "I'm using the founder skill for [workflow]"
  3. Load the appropriate reference file
  4. Execute the workflow exactly as written
  5. Produce the specified artifact

Artifact Tooling

After generating markdown artifacts, users can convert them:

ArtifactToolCommand
Slides (Marp)Marp CLInpx @marp-team/marp-cli slides.md --pptx
Documentsmd-to-pdfnpx md-to-pdf document.md
SpreadsheetsCopy tablesPaste markdown tables into Google Sheets/Excel

Rules

  • Always ask clarifying questions before generating artifacts
  • Produce complete, usable outputs (not partial drafts)
  • Use Marp format for all slide decks
  • Use markdown tables for spreadsheet data (easy paste)
  • Be brutally honest in evaluations (2% YC acceptance rate mindset)
  • Include confidence levels and key assumptions

All validation, pitch, and financial outputs MUST end with:

---
| Confidence | X-Y% |
| Key Assumption | [What would change this verdict] |
| Reversibility | Type 2A/2B/1 |

Verdict rules:

  • GO verdict requires ≥70% confidence
  • ITERATE requires identifying specific unknowns to resolve
  • KILL must cite specific evidence, not intuition

Common Rationalizations (All Wrong)

ThoughtReality
"The market is huge"TAM without SAM/SOM is meaningless.
"Nobody's doing this"If nobody's doing it, ask why.
"We just need 1% of the market"That's not a strategy, it's wishful math.
"First mover advantage"First movers usually lose. Execution wins.
"Build it and they will come"Distribution is harder than product.
"We're different"Every founder says this. Prove it with evidence.
