April Dunford's 10-step positioning methodology for B2B tech products. Use when customers don't understand the product, sales cycles are long because reps must "explain it," prospects compare you to wrong competitors, or you face price pressure despite a good product. Covers competitive alternatives, unique attributes, value themes, target market characteristics, market category (Head to Head / Big Fish Small Pond / New Game), and trend layering.
/cs:office-hours <topic> — YC-style 6-question founder interrogation before any advice. Forces clarity on problem, customer, distribution, defensibility, capital, and founder fit.
Generate a Lean Canvas with problem, solution, metrics, cost structure, UVP, unfair advantage, channels, segments, and revenue. Use when exploring a lean startup canvas, testing a business hypothesis, or modeling a new venture.
Review any business decision, plan, or strategy through the minimalist entrepreneur lens. Use when someone wants a gut-check on a business decision, wants to simplify their approach, or needs to decide between options.
Trigger: Invoke when you start from scratch with extremely limited resources and need to find the minimum viable entry point first to build a stable base. Common signals include bootstrap, MVP, pilot, first foothold, and small team startup. Trigger when starting from almost nothing and needing a viable foothold before scaling up. Use this skill to build a durable base, start small, and grow from a validated nucleus instead of scattering effort.
Startup diagnostic router. Use FIRST when a founder doesn't know where to start, has multiple overlapping problems, or asks a vague question like 'what's wrong with my startup', 'why aren't people buying', 'what should I focus on', 'where do I even begin', 'nothing is working'. Routes to the right framework from the 14 available skills — or tells you when no framework fits and you just need to go talk to people. This is the entry point. Use it before reaching for any specific skill.
