What problem does it solve? Founders and builders often jump straight into code before validating whether an idea is worth building. This Skill forces structured thinking about demand, competition, and scope before any implementation begins, producing a written design doc instead of premature code. ## Core Features & Use Cases - YC Product Diagnostic: Six forcing questions covering demand reality, status quo, desperate specificity, narrowest wedge, observation, and future-fit, asked one at a time with pushback on weak framing. - Dual Modes: Startup and intrapreneurship ideas get the full YC diagnostic; hackathons, side projects, learning, and open source get a lighter builder-mode design partner flow. - Design Doc Output: Writes a structured design document to docs/designs/ covering problem, context, goals, non-goals, approach options, recommendation, and open questions. - Use Case: You have a new product idea and say "help me think through this". The Skill gathers codebase context, asks your goal, walks you through the diagnostic questions, presents 2-3 implementation approaches with tradeoffs, and saves a design doc you can share or build from. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run office hours on your new product idea and answer each diagnostic question as it comes.
