SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

YC Office Hours helps founders turn vague product ideas into a concrete design doc through two modes: Startup mode with a structured questioning flow, and Builder mode for design-thinking brainstorming. It saves decisions, clarifies scope, and guides teams from idea to plan without coding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Startup mode: six forcing questions to expose demand reality, status quo, desperate specificity, narrowest wedge, observation, and future-fit.
  • Builder mode: design-thinking brainstorming for side projects, hackathons, learning, and open source; saves a design doc.
  • Proactive invocation: when users describe a new product idea or ask if something is worth building, the skill is invoked to frame the problem and produce a design doc.
