What it does

When installed, the agent stops and asks a founder six questions covering problem, customer, distribution, defensibility, capital, and founder fit, and wants written answers before offering strategy advice. It then writes a one-page brief with the founder's answers and rates the idea green, yellow, or red. The skill is a thinking discipline built into a prompt, not a data tool.

Great for

  • Startup founders who have a vague idea and want it challenged before spending money
  • Teams preparing a strategy brief or fundraising pitch
  • Advisors who want a structured intake step before multi-role discussion

Skip it if

  • Routine tasks or quick factual questions, since the six-question gate adds friction and is not designed for them
  • Non-business decisions, because the framework assumes a company, customers and capital
  • Users who want the agent to just answer: the skill deliberately withholds advice until the questions are answered

Try asking

  • “/c-level-agents:office-hours should we grow faster?”
  • “/c-level-agents:office-hours launch a paid community for our newsletter readers”
  • “Run office hours on our plan to enter the European market before drafting a strategy brief”

    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

  • Answer each of the six questions in writing with concrete names, numbers and channels; vague answers will trigger a yellow or red rating.
  • Use it before fundraising or a pivot, not after the decision is already made.
  • Treat excitement as a signal to run the questions more carefully, as the skill itself recommends.
