What is Startup Skill?

Startup Skill is a collection of Claude Code skills for founders who want strategy-grade output without the $10K consultant bill. It covers the full startup cycle: startup-design runs market research, customer discovery, competitive analysis, brand, product definition, financial projections and validation experiments across eight phases; startup-competitors builds battle cards, pricing landscapes and feature matrices from real reviews, forums and web data; startup-positioning applies April Dunford's framework to find the right market category and messaging; and startup-pitch produces investor-ready pitches in 10-, 5-, 2- and 1-minute formats plus Q&A prep. Each skill is invoked naturally or with slash commands, and works with any agent that supports skills.

Pros: what Startup Skill does well

  • Covers the whole startup validation loop in one skill set
  • Uses real web, forum and review data for competitive intelligence
  • Free, MIT-licensed and installable as a Claude Code plugin

Cons: where it falls short

  • Consumes a lot of tokens on deep research runs
  • Best with Claude Max or a high-context model
