| 1 | # Startup Architect Skill |
| 2 | |
| 3 | This skill transforms a raw startup idea into a comprehensive, research-backed startup kit. It ensures every analysis is based on real market data and results in high-fidelity deliverables. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Workflow |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ### STEP 1: MARKET RESEARCH (Mandatory) |
| 8 | Perform at least 3 distinct web searches to gather real data. |
| 9 | - **Search 1:** Market size (TAM/SAM/SOM), growth rates, and industry trends. |
| 10 | - **Search 2:** Top competitors, their pricing, and market positioning. |
| 11 | - **Search 3:** Market gaps, customer pain points, and "Why Now" factors. |
| 12 | - **Goal:** Extract real numbers, specific company names, and current year trends. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | **Optional X/Twitter social signal pass:** If Hermes Tweet is installed |
| 15 | (`hermes plugins install Xquik-dev/hermes-tweet --enable`) and `XQUIK_API_KEY` |
| 16 | is configured, use it as a native Hermes Agent X/Twitter plugin before writing |
| 17 | the kit: |
| 18 | - `tweet_explore`: scrape/search tweets and search Twitter/X for pain points, |
| 19 | competitor mentions, launch reactions, and "why now" signals. |
| 20 | - `tweet_read`: read tweet replies, look up users, and monitor tweets from |
| 21 | founders, customers, competitors, analysts, and early adopters. |
| 22 | - `tweet_action`: use read-side export followers research only when it helps |
| 23 | map ICP clusters or competitor audiences. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Do not post tweets, post replies, send DMs, or automate X actions in this skill |
| 26 | unless the human explicitly confirms the exact action. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | ### STEP 2: PROJECT INITIALIZATION |
| 29 | Create the target directory for the assets. |
| 30 | ```bash |
| 31 | mkdir -p ~/Desktop/startup_kit |
| 32 | ``` |
| 33 | |
| 34 | ### STEP 3: ASSET GENERATION |
| 35 | Generate the following 8 files one-by-one. **Confirm each file with ✅ before moving to the next.** Use `write_file` or `terminal` to save content. No placeholder text allowed. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | 1. **market_analysis.md** |
| 38 | - Detailed TAM/SAM/SOM with real researched numbers. |
| 39 | - 3-5 major market trends and key opportunities. |
| 40 | - Analysis of current market dynamics. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | 2. **competitor_map.md** |
| 43 | - Profile 5 real competitors: Name, URL, Pricing, Strengths, Weaknesses. |
| 44 | - Identify the specific gap/unfair advantage we exploit. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | 3. **product_spec.md** |
| 47 | - Problem/Solution statement. |
| 48 | - List of 5 core MVP features (max). |
| 49 | - Tech stack recommendation (FE/BE/DB/hosting). |
| 50 | - Core differentiator. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | 4. **business_model.md** |
| 53 | - Revenue streams and pricing tiers (Free/Pro/Enterprise). |
| 54 | - Basic unit economics and growth loops. |
| 55 | - Top 3 KPIs to track. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | 5. **pitch_deck.md** |
| 58 | - 5 slides (Problem, Solution, Market, Business Model, Ask). |
| 59 | - Content: Slide Title + Max 3 bullet points per slide. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | 6. **product_roadmap.md** |
| 62 | - Month 1-3: MVP & Initial Launch. |
| 63 | - Month 4-6: Feedback Loop & Growth. |
| 64 | - Month 7-12: Scaling & Monetization. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | 7. **investor_pitch.md** |
| 67 | - One-paragraph narrative elevator pitch. |
| 68 | - Narrative on "Why Now" and "Why Us". |
| 69 | - Projected milestones. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | 8. **landing_page.html** |
| 72 | - High-fidelity HTML/CSS using Tailwind CDN. |
| 73 | - Fonts: Inter (Google Fonts). |
| 74 | - Graphics: Unsplash-sourced product/hero images. |
| 75 | - Animations: Animate.css. |
| 76 | - Theme: Indigo to Purple to Pink gradients. |
| 77 | - Components: Nav, Hero, Problem/Solution (3 cards), Features (3 cards), Pricing (2 tiers), Testimonials (3 quotes), Footer. |
| 78 | |
| 79 | ### STEP 4: COMPLETION |
| 80 | Declare completion clearly: |
| 81 | "✅ Your startup kit is ready at ~/Desktop/startup_kit/" |
| 82 | List all 8 files with a one-sentence summary for each. |
| 83 | |
| 84 | ## Critical Rules |
| 85 | - **RESEARCH FIRST:** Never use generic data. If research fails, try different search terms. |
| 86 | - **SEQUENTIAL SAVING:** Save one file at a time and acknowledge it. |
| 87 | - **NO PLACEHOLDERS:** All text must be plausible, specific, and professionally written. |
| 88 | - **VISUAL QUALITY:** The HTML file must be "investor-ready" - visually polished and responsive. |
