improve-business

Featured

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.

# Improve a Business An interactive, resumable journey for a business that already runs but has stopped moving — real revenue, real customers, a flat line. Across eight phases it works the layers in order (strategy, execution, management, structure, motivation, metrics, margin, pricing), diagnosing before treating rather than chasing one tactic at a time. The agent asks before every decision and records each choice in `docs/` so the turnaround survives across sessions. ## Core Principle **A plateau is a diagnosis failure: diagnose before treating, and work the layers in order — strategy, execution, management, structure, motivation, metrics, margin, pricing.** Poking one tactic at a time never breaks a plateau because the constraints compound. This skill sequences the phases, asks the decision questions, and records what was decided; the constituent skills carry the actual method — invoke them rather than improvising their frameworks. ## Journey Map | Phase | Skill | Question it answers | Artifact | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | good-strategy-bad-strategy | What single challenge is capping the business? | Creates docs/STRATEGY.md — GATE | | 2 | traction-eos | How do we execute the strategy every week? | Creates docs/OPERATIONS.md | | 3 | high-output-management | How does the operator multiply the team, not bottleneck it? | Extends docs/OPERATIONS.md | | 4 | team-topologies | Is the org structure itself the constraint? | Extends docs/OPERATIONS.md | | 5 | drive-motivation | Why...

create-business

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.

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.

improve-app

Guided journey from a shipped app that works but feels rough to a product that fits the job, flows without friction, reads clearly, and persuades honestly. Orchestrates nine skills phase by phase - jobs-to-be-done, ux-heuristics, design-everyday-things, refactoring-ui, microinteractions, made-to-stick, influence-psychology, high-perf-browser, steve-jobs-design-review - asking the user questions at every decision point and recording results in the project docs/ folder (CUSTOMER.md, DESIGN.md, POSITIONING.md, IMPROVE-APP-PLAN.md) so the journey resumes across sessions. Use when the user wants to fix a clunky product, cut UX friction, sharpen in-app copy and prompts, or says 'the app works but feels rough'. Do not use for code, tests, or production hardening - use improve-code-quality (fresh prototype) or remove-technical-debt (aged codebase); no app yet, create-app; needs growth loops, grow-app; marketing-site friction, improve-website. For one framework in isolation, invoke that skill directly.
