SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill prevents entrepreneurs from chasing random product ideas by guiding them to the communities they already belong to and the problems that matter to those people.

Core Features & Use Cases

Community inventory: prompt the user to list every professional, hobby, and online group they are part of so they can see where they already have credibility.
Problem validation: weigh recurring complaints, pain points, and engagement channels to determine which community problems are worth solving.
Real-world use case: when an aspiring founder has several online and offline networks, use the framework to select 1-3 manageable communities and map the monetizable problems within each.

Quick Start

Ask the find-community skill to list three communities you belong to, describe a persistent problem in each, and explain how you fit into those groups.
