What’s Inside
One for each phase of building — from validating your idea to cap table management.
Step-by-step instructions for Claude Projects, Cowork, and direct chat.
Validation case studies, term sheet guide, and framework sources.
Each skill is interactive — it doesn’t present information, it runs processes on your numbers, your market, your situation.
The Problem
Every new venture, you run the same playbook. Evaluate the idea. Sketch a business model. Figure out go-to-market. Think about pricing. Each time, you dig through old notes, half-remember a framework from a talk you watched, reconstruct something you’ve already built before.
The process works. It’s also wildly inefficient.
This toolkit turns that scattered knowledge into a system. Twelve skills, each one curated from the methodologies of people who’ve actually built things — not business school theory, not motivational frameworks. Operational, structured tools built from proven playbooks.
What Makes This Different
“Here are 5 frameworks for validating your startup idea…”
“Let’s validate your idea. I’ll score your founder-market fit, design interview scripts for your target customer, and give you a GO/PIVOT/KILL verdict.”
Each skill is interactive. It doesn’t explain a framework — it applies the framework to your specific situation. Your numbers, your market, your customers. The difference between reading about burn rate and having a system that calculates yours and tells you when you run out of money.
How It Was Curated
Every skill is built from methodologies I’ve actually used across ventures and teams — not frameworks I’ve bookmarked. Each one draws from established sources in its domain: the people who wrote the books, ran the experiments, and published the data.
The skills are text files, not locked software. If a framework stops being useful, you swap it out. If you find a better approach, you update the skill. The system grows with you because it’s your system.
