What This Skill Does
An AI coaching skill for startup founders that detects low-level thinking patterns like excuse-making, perfectionism, and fear-driven decisions, then responds with Socratic questions instead of direct advice. It tracks mental model progress and weekly challenges in a local founder profile file.
Addresses thinking patterns rather than surface tactics, which changes how founders approach recurring problems instead of just resolving individual ones.
When to use it
- Catching yourself externalizing blame during a co-founder debrief
- Getting unstuck on a feature decision using the 4Ps framework
- Setting a weekly challenge to practice a specific mental model
- Generating a Sunday progress report on mindset development and PMF stage
- Working through a pricing dilemma without receiving a direct answer
Example Workflow

- 2Identifies the most relevant mental model based on current conversation context
- 3Proposes one mental model practice exercise and one concrete action task
- 4Confirms the challenge with the user and records it in founder-profile.md
