From idea to pmfwith your agent

Founder Skills are custom skills wrapped into a plugin for your coding agent.

$ bash scripts/install.sh AGENT
works with pi Codex Claude Code

How it works

Three simple steps

Install, say what you need, get a usable output file.

01 — install

Clone & install

One command installs all 24 skills. Replace AGENT with pi, codex, or claude.

bash scripts/install.sh AGENT
02 — invoke

Say it

each skill has a plain english trigger

"Scope my MVP"
03 — act

Get a real artifact

The agent produces a .md file with specific decisions — not advice, not options.

mvp-brief.md
bash scripts/install.sh AGENT
"Scope my MVP"
mvp-brief.md

Partner Skill

The collaborative OS for the founder journey.

The Partner Skill carries context across sessions, spots real bottlenecks, and routes you to the right skill.

🧠Reads founder-context.md and your last 5 cycle docs before speaking
🗣️Starts with one honest observation from your context, then asks where to begin
🧭Recommends one exact next skill with rationale based on your stage
⚠️Surfaces the avoided thing and names the real bottleneck
♻️Updates founder-context.md each session and records key milestones
"Partner"
