How do I create structured YC-style design docs for a startup idea?▼

You create structured YC-style design docs by initiating a guided session that enforces a phase-gated workflow. The process applies context-gathering prompts to surface demand, scope, and actionable next steps for early-stage startup phases.

What is the best way to facilitate a startup design session for pre-product phases?▼

The best way to facilitate a startup design session is using a phase-gated workflow with explicit prompts and premise validation. This structure reduces ambiguity and accelerates decision-making by exploring alternative paths and recording concrete actions.

How does context gathering work during early startup ideation?▼

Context gathering works through an interactive AskUserQuestion workflow that probes for project specifics. It records premises, validates them, and surfaces concrete actions to clearly define demand and scope before building a product.

Can I use this guided design session for projects past the ideation phase?▼

You can use this guided design session for ideation through pre-product phases. It is specifically tailored for early startup sessions where clear design deliverables and actionable next steps are needed to reduce ambiguity.

How do I start a design doc session and what information is required?▼

To start a design doc session, you provide your project slug and selected mode. The system then begins Phase 1 context gathering to probe for specifics, record premises, and generate alternative paths to explore.

Why does my startup design doc need premise validation and alternative paths?▼

Your startup design doc needs premise validation and alternative paths to compare options and ensure decision-making is grounded. Enforcing this phase-gated workflow surfaces concrete actions and reduces ambiguity in early startup development.
