solo-founder-gtm

When the user is a solo founder building their GTM motion, wants to scale without hiring, or needs to design an AI agent team for go-to-market. Also use when the user mentions 'solo founder,' 'one-person startup,' 'solopreneur,' 'bootstrapped,' 'no team,' 'AI agents as team,' 'scaling without hiring,' 'founder-led sales,' 'lean GTM,' 'one-person company,' or 'no employees.' This skill covers the complete solo founder GTM playbook from stack selection through agent team design, revenue-stage transitions, time allocation, and when to finally hire. Do NOT use for technical implementation, code review, or software architecture.

Content

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

An information-dense, highly actionable playbook whose tables, thresholds, and checklists give the agent everything needed to execute — its guidance is unusually concrete for an instruction-only skill. The gaps are structural: a monolithic 440-line file with no progressive disclosure into reference files, some redundant sections, and implicit rather than explicit validation checkpoints.

Suggestions

Split large reference-style sections (Section 5 agent definitions, Section 3 stage playbooks, the Section 2 tool stack tables) into files under references/ and keep SKILL.md as a concise overview, which would raise progressive_disclosure and cut token cost per invocation.

Remove the duplication between 'Before Starting' and 'Questions to Ask' — keep one consolidated context-gathering list to tighten conciseness.

Add explicit validation checkpoints for stage transitions (e.g., 'confirm the repeatable channel converts for 30 days before moving to Stage 3 systems') so the workflows have validate-then-proceed loops rather than implicit red-flag cues.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense and information-rich (tool costs, thresholds, time splits) with little explanation of concepts Claude already knows. Minor trims needed: the 'You are an expert in...' persona preamble, and the 'Before Starting' context list is largely duplicated by the 15-item 'Questions to Ask' section. Efficient overall, so above 3, but the redundancy keeps it below 5.

4 / 5

Actionability

Highly executable instruction-only guidance with specific numbers throughout: 'DM 20 people per day,' '50 personalized emails per week using Clay + Instantly,' 'Cap at 8-10 core tools,' '$50-450/mo' stack budget, agent deployment order with dollar thresholds, and a step-by-step sales process with minute budgets. Per the rubric's instruction-skill note, absence of code is not penalized when guidance is this concrete.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear sequences exist: the QUALIFY->DISCOVER->DEMO->CLOSE->ONBOARD flow with timings, stage-gated playbooks, a self-serve readiness checklist, and red-flag escalation indicators. Falls short of 5 because validation between steps is implicit (stage transitions rely on red flags rather than explicit validate-then-proceed loops). Clearly above 3, where checkpoints would be missing.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ are all absent) and the entire 440-line playbook is inlined in SKILL.md. Sections are well-organized with headers and a Quick Reference, but content that naturally belongs in separate reference files (agent definitions, stage playbooks, tool stack tables) is all inline. Better than 2 (structure is good, not minimal) but below 4 (no one-level-deep references at all).

Description

91%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description with explicit what/when coverage, comprehensive natural trigger synonyms, and a useful negative boundary clause. Its only weaknesses are topic-style (rather than action-style) capability phrasing and minor overlap risk with the closely related GTM skill family.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain and several concrete coverage areas ('stack selection,' 'agent team design,' 'revenue-stage transitions,' 'time allocation,' 'when to finally hire'), but frames them as topics covered rather than actions performed, and 'the complete solo founder GTM playbook' is a mild over-claim. Better than score 3 (well beyond 1-2 actions) but short of score 5's comprehensive concrete-action list.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (playbook scope itemized from stack selection through hiring decisions) and 'when' ('When the user is a solo founder... Also use when the user mentions...') with concrete trigger phrases, and adds a negative boundary ('Do NOT use for technical implementation, code review, or software architecture').

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural trigger coverage with eleven quoted phrases users would actually say: 'solo founder,' 'one-person startup,' 'solopreneur,' 'bootstrapped,' 'no team,' 'AI agents as team,' 'scaling without hiring,' 'founder-led sales,' 'lean GTM,' 'one-person company,' 'no employees,' plus scenario forms ('building their GTM motion,' 'wants to scale without hiring').

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The solo-founder niche and explicit exclusion clause make it mostly distinct, but the skill itself references 12 closely related GTM skills and triggers like 'building their GTM motion' or 'design an AI agent team for go-to-market' overlap with those. Fits 'mostly distinct; minor overlap risk with closely related skills' rather than the minimal-conflict anchor 5.
