- startup-designferdinandobons/startup-skillDesign, validate, and plan a startup from scratch. Covers market research, competitive analysis, business model, brand identity, product definition, financial projections, and validation experiments. Trigger when the user has a startup idea to explore, wants to validate a business concept, needs a business plan or lean canvas, asks for market sizing or competitive landscape, wants brand positioning or go-to-market strategy, or says anything like "I have an idea for..." or "is this idea worth pursuing".

- startup-analysishimself65/finance-skillsAnalyze a startup from three perspectives — VC investor, job applicant, and CEO/founder — covering market, traction, unit economics, team, defensibility, runway, equity value, culture, and competitive position, with a verdict for each. Use this skill whenever the user wants to evaluate a startup or private tech company: due diligence, whether to invest in it or join it, weighing a startup job offer, company health, outlook, or competitive position, or open-ended asks such as "what do you think of [company]" or "research [company] for me".Science★ 3.5K
- business-brainstormcoreyhaines31/makerskillsWhen you want to pressure-test a potential new business, product, or side project against the serial-founder filter. Not "marketing ideas for a product" (that's marketing-skills:marketing-ideas) — this is "should this business exist + can you win it." Runs the idea through a structured framework (problem, audience, wedge, monetization, moat, portfolio fit, distribution, energy fit, opportunity cost), checks domain availability via /domain, optionally triggers /deep-research for market validation, and outputs a viability brief: build / sleep on it / pass. Archives every idea to ~/.config/makerskills/business-brainstorm/archive/ so past work is searchable. Triggers on "/business-brainstorm," "/brainstorm," "new business idea," "should I build X," "pressure test this idea," "validate this idea," "is X a good business," "what about a [type] for [audience]."Planning★ 873
- saas-idea-validatorcbrock84/headcountEvaluates a software or startup idea against problem, market, competition, monetization, defensibility, and execution, and returns a verdict rather than encouragement. Use this when an idea needs pressure-testing before anyone builds, when deciding whether something is worth pursuing, when assessing competition or willingness to pay, or when a validated idea needs a first-customers and MVP plan. Default to scrutiny; the useful answer is usually the unwelcome one.Testing★ 2.1K
