FAQPage Schema
How do I run a structured brainstorming session to clarify my startup idea?

To run structured brainstorming for a startup idea, this Skill guides you through YC-style office hours, asking forcing questions one at a time to gather context and produce a precise design brief.

What is a design brief and how does it guide startup project phases?

A design brief is a structured document capturing your startup's problem context and requirements. It guides solutions by determining whether to activate Phase 2A or 2B and prompting the six forcing questions in order.

Can I use this YC office hours workflow for a hackathon or learning project?

Yes, the YC office hours workflow applies to hackathons and learning projects. It enforces the AskUserQuestion workflow and Completeness Principle to drive complete, actionable outcomes across various project types.

What's the best way to capture requirements before proposing solutions for a new project?

The best way to capture requirements is through structured discovery. This Skill enforces evidence-based questions sequentially, satisfying Phase 1 context gathering requirements before transitioning to Phase 3 or 4 planning.

Does this design-thinking partner require any specific technical dependencies or components?

No specific technical dependencies or components are required. The design-thinking partner operates independently to enforce the AskUserQuestion format and log telemetry while guiding your project phases.

Why does my startup idea need a phase-oriented plan instead of jumping straight to solutions?

A phase-oriented plan prevents premature solutions by enforcing the Completeness Principle. It ensures you clarify the problem first, guiding whether to activate Phase 2A or 2B before proposing any concrete solutions.
