business-brainstorm
FeaturedWhen you want to pressure-test a potential new business, product, or side project against the serial-founder filter. Not "marketing ideas for a product" (that's marketing-skills:marketing-ideas) — this is "should this business exist + can you win it." Runs the idea through a structured framework (problem, audience, wedge, monetization, moat, portfolio fit, distribution, energy fit, opportunity cost), checks domain availability via /domain, optionally triggers /deep-research for market validation, and outputs a viability brief: build / sleep on it / pass. Archives every idea to ~/.config/makerskills/business-brainstorm/archive/ so past work is searchable. Triggers on "/business-brainstorm," "/brainstorm," "new business idea," "should I build X," "pressure test this idea," "validate this idea," "is X a good business," "what about a [type] for [audience]."

critical-business-brief
Create critical business briefs through challenging dialogue that validates ideas and stress-tests assumptions. Use when user presents business ideas, wants to explore concepts, mentions starting a business, or needs business validation. Conducts realistic, skeptical conversations to expose weaknesses and creates structured business briefs in .ideas/ folder. Triggers include "I have a business idea", "business opportunity", "startup idea", or "validate this concept".
business-reasoning
Structured business judgment distilled from twelve canonical business books (The Lean Startup, Zero to One, Good to Great, The E-Myth Revisited, The 1-Page Marketing Plan, Blue Ocean Strategy, $100M Offers, The $100 Startup, The Psychology of Money, Atomic Habits, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich). Use this whenever the user asks anything about starting, validating, pricing, positioning, marketing, monetizing, scaling, systematizing, or rescuing a business, product, side project, SaaS, app or freelance practice — including casual phrasings like "is this a good idea", "would anyone pay for this", "how do I get users", "how should I price this", "why is nobody buying", "should I build X or Y", "which of my projects should I focus on", "should I quit my job for this", or "how do I turn this into a business". Trigger it even when no framework is named, even when the question sounds like a request for a quick opinion, and even when it arrives inside a coding task.
biz-planner
Turn a raw business/project idea into a decision-locked execution plan. Use when the user starts a NEW idea, says 'plan this idea', 'biz plan', 'new project idea', 'hackathon project', or wants tech-stack selection, mindmapping, and a final approval-gated plan for any new venture.
