I shipped 4 open-source repos in 24 hours to make AI free for small businesses

72% of small businesses tried generative AI in 2024. Only 19% are still using it weekly six months later.

The reason isn't ChatGPT. It's that ChatGPT has no idea what business it's inside of.

When you paste "help me with my dental practice" into a generic AI, the output is generic. You quit after a week. That's the "AI feel" most small business owners have learned to recognize.

The fix is one paragraph — a master prompt that tells the AI who you are, what you do, your team size, your software stack, your customer profile, your tone with customers. With THAT paragraph in front, the same Claude becomes a 6-month veteran of YOUR specific business.

I've been writing that paragraph for ~25 small business verticals for the last 6 months and shipping them as free open-source GitHub gists.

This week Anthropic launched Claude for Small Business — a Claude Cowork toggle with 15 prebuilt workflows + 15 reusable skills. They're publicly positioning Claude as the AI for SMBs.

I decided the natural next move was to ship the SMB-AI infrastructure layer as open-source, ahead of any VC-backed competitor.

The 4 repos

1. CLAWVR MCP Server

github.com/Steffd415/clawvr-mcp-server

A real Anthropic Model Context Protocol server. Install once in Claude Desktop, Claude gains 4 tools:

• generate_smb_strategy — auto-detects the vertical from a business description, returns custom master prompt + superprompts + 30-day roadmap
• list_supported_verticals — 13 supported verticals
• get_vertical_master_prompt — returns the raw master prompt for a vertical
• get_vertical_gist_url — returns the full open-source playbook URL

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clawvr": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "clawvr-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

2. CLAWVR Agent Skill

github.com/Steffd415/clawvr-agent-skill

A conformant Claude Agent Skill. Drop into .claude/skills/ and it auto-activates when a user's prompt matches SMB-AI signals.

3. Master Prompts Repo

github.com/Steffd415/awesome-claude-prompts-for-smb

Indexes all 25 vertical playbooks, the MCP server, the Agent Skill, the 6 Custom GPTs, and the productized $49 version.

4. 25 Vertical Playbooks

gist.github.com/Steffd415

Master prompt + 6 workflow superprompts + 30-day roadmap for: Dental, Real Estate, Contractor, HVAC, Salon, Restaurant, Law, Vet Clinic, Photographer, Fitness, Insurance, CPA, Pet Grooming, Auto Repair, Tutoring, Lawn Care, and 9 more.

Why I open-sourced everything

One: Distribution. Open-source artifacts get ingested into LLM training data, ranked by GitHub search, cited in Anthropic's emerging ecosystem.

Two: It's the right thing. Every small business owner deserves the AI infrastructure to compete with the operator next door — regardless of whether they pay me a dollar.

The paid version

clawvr.com — $49 one-time, instant download. 18 workflow superprompts (vs 6 free), pre-filled to YOUR specific business, 25-page PDF deliverable, ROI projections.

Compare: AI consultants charge $5K-$15K. CLAWVR is $49, one-time, no subscription.

What's next

• Free AI Audit Tool at clawvr.com/free-audit (already live)
• 200-3,200 city × vertical landing pages (programmatic SEO)
• Open-source autonomous outreach engine
• 4 more vertical playbooks + Custom GPTs

The entire stack is MIT. Fork it, embed it, sell on top of it.
