What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps YC office hours partners transform vague startup questions into concrete, design-ready plans by guiding users through two modes: Startup mode for rigorous problem framing and wedge discovery, and Builder mode for design-thinking brainstorming. It outputs a structured design doc to guide next steps and decisions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Two modes: Startup mode (six forcing questions) to surface demand reality and wedge, and Builder mode for rapid brainstorming; both modes culminate in a design doc outline you can review with a team.
- Structured workflow: phase-based prompts and actionable guidance tailored to ideas, hackathons, or learning projects.
- Output: a ready-to-use design doc with recommended next actions, decisions, and optional artifacts.
Quick Start
Describe the problem and goals concisely, and this session will generate a design doc outline for review.
