Interview the user once and write a docs/gtm-cofounder/founder-brief.md that every other skill reads first, so the advice is about their real business, not a textbook. Use this before anything else, or whenever the agent lacks context on the user's product, ICP, market, or stage, or is giving generic GTM advice.

# Start here (your founder brief)

> Every other skill is only as sharp as what the agent knows about *your* business. This is that context. Do it once, and every skill after it gets personal.

**Use this when:** it's your first time here, or the advice you're getting feels generic and textbook because the agent doesn't actually know your product, your users, or your stage.

## The core idea

Answer **five core questions** and the agent writes a **`docs/gtm-cofounder/founder-brief.md`** in your project, enough to give you a real diagnosis and a roadmap in minutes. Everything else is optional and answered as you go: each skill pulls the deeper questions it actually needs, when it needs them, and tells you what answering unlocks. So you start seeing value fast, and the brief gets richer the more you use it, instead of facing a wall of questions on day one.

And the part that matters most: separate what you have **validated** (a real user who is not your friend told you) from what you are **assuming** (your best guess for now). Assumptions are completely fine to start with. They just get sent to `talk-to-users` to become real, so you never build a beautiful go-to-market on a guess.

## How to run this (for the agent)
