12 Claude Code Skills for Startup Founders [open-source]

Every Claude Code skills pack is built for developers. Code review, git workflows, security audits.

Nothing for the founder who needs to validate an idea at 2am.

We fixed that.

What we built

claude-skills-founder — 12 slash commands for startup strategy, running directly in Claude Code.

No npm install. No dependencies. Just copy markdown files into your .claude/commands/ folder.

The skills

Validation & Research:

  • /validate-idea — 7-dimension scorecard with build/pivot/kill verdict
  • /product-brief — structured brief from a one-sentence idea
  • /competitor-matrix — feature comparison + positioning gaps
  • /persona-gen — 3 personas with priority matrix
  • /user-interviews — Mom Test interview script + analysis framework

Strategy & Growth:

  • /mvp-scope — ruthless feature triage (Must Have / Should Have / Won't Have)
  • /pricing-strategy — 6 models evaluated, 3 tiers designed, unit economics checked
  • /go-to-market — pre-launch → launch day → 90-day plan
  • /landing-page — conversion copy for every section
  • /email-sequence — 5-7 onboarding emails, ready to send

Fundraising & Metrics:

  • /pitch-deck — 12-slide outline with content per slide
  • /fundraise-prep — readiness scorecard + investor targeting + 12-week timeline
  • /metrics-dashboard — 5 metrics that matter at your stage
