Why it works

Reads the state. Tells the truth. Calls the next move.

Founder Skills reads company memory before it speaks.

It separates what you know, think, and hope. Then it writes the artifact and names the next move.

Reads company memory .fs/, founder-context.md, truth-memo.md, and recommended-next-step.md.

Gives a verdict A clear call: validate, narrow, build, or stop.

Leaves artifacts truth-memo.md, implementation-plan.md, landing-page-copy.md, and more.
