Retroactive Project SetupABootstrap full agent infrastructure for an existing, already-coded project without modifying a single line of source code.

Idea EvaluationAScore an unbuilt business idea on desirability, viability, feasibility, distribution wedge, why-now, founder-market-fit, market size, alternatives, defensibility, capital intensity, and regulatory/ethical risk — and return a GO / ITERATE / KILL verdict with kill criteria and a next kill test. Load when the user asks to evaluate a business idea, score a startup idea, screen an idea, decide whether to pursue this venture, do an idea review, or says "is this a good business idea", "should I buil...researchgotestingVotes: 0GitHub stars: 3
First PrinciplesAStrip a problem to its irreducible fundamental truths and rebuild the solution from the ground up — free from analogy, convention, and inherited assumptions. Load when the user feels constrained by how something has always been done, when existing solutions feel expensive or inefficient for no good reason, when the user asks to think from first principles, challenge the fundamentals, or rebuild this from scratch. Also triggers on "why does it have to work this way", "what are the actual const...researchgoVotes: 0GitHub stars: 3
FermiADecompose an unknown quantity into 3-5 estimable factors and produce a defensible order-of-magnitude answer without needing precise data.

Experiment BacklogATurn assumptions, funnel opportunities, and product questions into a prioritised, feasibility-checked experiment backlog.
