What it does

Once installed, the agent organizes your project description, interview notes, or business plan into the classic nine-block Business Model Canvas, covering customers, value, channels, relationships, revenue, costs and more. It marks each point as given by your material, inferred, or unknown, and renders a Chinese-language PNG poster plus an editable HTML file and structured JSON. It is designed to avoid inventing numbers or facts that your material does not support.

Great for

  • Founders or small teams who want a one-page visual of an existing business idea
  • Students or consultants turning interview notes or a plan into a standard canvas
  • People updating an earlier canvas when a pricing or customer model changes

Skip it if

  • General business analysis, investment valuation, or Lean Canvas work, which the skill explicitly excludes (it keeps the classic layout rather than switching formats)
  • Businesses with no supplied material, since the skill will ask for a description or fill gaps with 'pending' markers rather than research them
  • Anyone expecting the canvas to prove a business model works; the skill warns that a tidy layout does not validate demand or payment logic

Try asking

  • “Make a business model canvas for my small restaurant procurement service that charges per transaction”
  • “Turn this two-sided platform interview transcript into a business model canvas, tracking users and payers separately”
  • “This is yesterday's canvas; update it to an annual subscription model and flag what else changes”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Provide as much concrete material as possible (pricing, customers, partners, costs) so fewer blocks are marked unknown
  • Ask for a specific output width between 1200 and 2400 px if the default 1600 px is not suitable
  • Review the inferred items and remove or confirm them before sharing the canvas externally
