What it does
The plugin bundles several skills around launching a startup. The main skill walks through strategy from scratch: market research, audience study, competitor analysis, business model, product definition, financial projections and validation experiments. Separate skills handle competitor comparison and battle cards, positioning and pitch prep. The work is split into phases with a pre-flight check and a customer-interview gate. By design the plugin is honest: if the idea is weak, it says so plainly. It installs as a marketplace plugin in Claude Code and compatible agents.
Who it is for. For founders and product managers who need a structured validation and launch plan for an idea.
Good fit when
- You have a startup idea and need to validate it step by step
- You need competitor analysis and battle cards
- You need positioning and a pitch
Not a fit when
- You want a finished business plan without your input and answers
- The task is not about launching a product or company
Example request
Validate my startup idea: do market research, a competitor breakdown and a 30-day planLimitations
The plugin gives structure, questions and templates, but the conclusions depend on your data and answers at the interview stage. It is not a substitute for real market research and talking to customers, but a frame for it. Financial projections are estimates, not guarantees.
How to disable. Uninstall the startup plugin via /plugin or remove the startup-skill marketplace.

README in short
The README presents a set of startup skills as what an expensive strategy consultant would deliver: market research, competitor battle cards, positioning, financial projections and a 30-day plan. The main skill is split into phases with a pre-flight check and a customer-interview gate. Competitor, positioning and pitch skills are separate. It works with Claude Code and any skill-supporting agent. MIT licensed.
