CLAUDE.md — Startup Skills

A public Agent Skills collection for AI-native startup founders — the hub founder-playbook plus 12 per-function skills — packaged for skills.sh. No build, no app; just portable skill folders installed via npx skills add samuelcastro/startup-skills/<skill>.

AGENTS.md is the full guide — read it. It's provider-agnostic and applies here unchanged. The rules below are the ones you can't infer from the files; treat them as IMPORTANT.

IMPORTANT

• Adapted, not original — keep attribution. The 12 per-function skills credit Linas Beliūnas / The One-Person Unicorn; founder-playbook credits Anthropic. Never reword anything to claim original authorship; never drop a credit line.
• Public repo — never leak private context. No private-repo names, internal knowledge bases, or machine-local paths (/Users/...). Every skill must stand alone and make sense to a stranger.
• description is the trigger and has a hard ≤1024-char limit. Over it, loaders silently skip the skill. Keep descriptions specific, a little "pushy," and under ~1000 chars.

Conventions

• One folder per skill, each with SKILL.md whose name equals the folder. Keep SKILL.md lean (<500 lines); push depth into references/.
• Install is per-skill via skills.sh — there is no install.sh.
• To improve a skill, use the autoresearch eval loop (binary evals, one file changed per round, keep-if-+10pts / revert). Details in AGENTS.md.

Before committing

• Public-safety: grep -rn '/Users/' . --include='*.md' → expect no matches.
• Spec: every name matches its folder; every description ≤ 1024 chars (npx skills-ref validate ./<skill>).
