create-business

Featured

Guided journey from raw idea to a validated, positioned, priced business with a chosen beachhead. Orchestrates ten skills phase by phase - jobs-to-be-done, mom-test, design-sprint, lean-startup, good-strategy-bad-strategy, blue-ocean-strategy, obviously-awesome, hundred-million-offers, monetizing-innovation, crossing-the-chasm - asking the user questions at every decision point and recording results in the project docs/ folder (CUSTOMER.md, POSITIONING.md, OFFER.md, CREATE-BUSINESS-PLAN.md) so the journey resumes across sessions. Use when the user wants to start a new business, validate a startup idea, find product-market fit before building, or says 'I have an idea for a company'. Do not use once the business has paying customers: use grow-business to add revenue and customers, or improve-business to fix strategy and operations. For building the product itself use create-app or create-website. For one framework in isolation, invoke that skill directly.

# Create a Business Take a raw idea to a business you can defend on every axis: who it is for, what job it does, why it is different, why it wins, what it costs, and why anyone would pay. This journey runs ten phases in sequence, looping back as evidence accumulates. It is interactive — the agent asks before every decision — and resumable: all state lives in `docs/` so you can stop and restart across sessions. The order is the point: demand before building, strategy before scale, price before product. ## Core Principle **Earn your evidence before you spend your runway: demand before building, strategy before scale, price before product.** You can be wrong about your product in a week, or wrong about your business in a year — pick the week. This skill sequences the phases, asks the questions at every decision point, and records what you decide in `docs/`. The constituent skills carry the method — invoke them rather than improvising their frameworks. ## Journey Map | Phase | Skill | Question it answers | Artifact | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | jobs-to-be-done | What progress is the customer really hiring us for? | Creates docs/CUSTOMER.md | | 2 | mom-test | Is the job real, painful, and worth paying to solve? | Extends docs/CUSTOMER.md — GATE | | 3 | design-sprint | Does the concept survive contact with five real customers? | Creates docs/EXPERIMENTS.md | | 4 | lean-startup | What is the smallest MVP that tests the riskiest assumption? | Creates docs/PRODUCT.md; extends docs/EX...

create-app

Guided journey from a raw app idea to a validated, cleanly architected first version that ships on a sustainable cadence. Orchestrates ten skills phase by phase - lean-startup, design-sprint, clean-architecture, domain-driven-design, clean-code, pragmatic-programmer, system-design, ios-hig-design, 37signals-way, software-design-philosophy - asking the user questions at every decision point and recording results in the project docs/ folder (PRODUCT.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, EXPERIMENTS.md, CREATE-APP-PLAN.md) so the journey resumes across sessions. Use when the user wants to build a new app, validate an idea before writing code, architect an MVP that will not need a rewrite, or says 'help me build my app the right way'. App already exists: use improve-app or grow-app. Business idea not yet validated: run create-business first. Marketing site only: use create-website. Architecture-only question: design-code-architecture. For one framework in isolation, invoke that skill directly.

improve-business

Guided journey from a stalled, plateaued business to one with an honest diagnosis, a working operating rhythm, and offers repriced to real value. Orchestrates eight skills phase by phase - good-strategy-bad-strategy, traction-eos, high-output-management, team-topologies, drive-motivation, lean-analytics, negotiation, monetizing-innovation - asking the user questions at every decision point and recording results in the project docs/ folder (STRATEGY.md, OPERATIONS.md, METRICS.md, IMPROVE-BUSINESS-PLAN.md) so the journey resumes across sessions. Use when the user wants to fix a business that has plateaued, diagnose why growth stalled, tighten strategy and execution, re-motivate a team, or says 'revenue is flat and I do not know why'. Starting from scratch with no customers: use create-business. Once the fundamentals work and the goal is expansion: use grow-business. When the product itself drags the business down: use improve-app. For one framework in isolation, invoke that skill directly.

grow-business

Guided journey from a business with lucky months to a repeatable growth engine that produces a forecast. Orchestrates nine skills phase by phase - one-page-marketing, hundred-million-offers, predictable-revenue, contagious, influence-psychology, crossing-the-chasm, cold-start-problem, lean-analytics, negotiation - asking the user questions at every decision point and recording results in the project docs/ folder (MARKETING.md, OFFER.md, METRICS.md, GROW-BUSINESS-PLAN.md) so the journey resumes across sessions. Use when the user wants to build a marketing and sales system, manufacture predictable pipeline, engineer word-of-mouth and referrals, or says 'revenue is real but lumpy and I need growth that repeats'. If the offer, retention, or operations underneath are broken, run improve-business first; with no paying customers yet, start with create-business; when the product itself must carry the growth loops, use grow-app. For one framework in isolation, invoke that skill directly.
