## When to Use This Skill

Charter, vesting, and cap-table literacy before first term sheet.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Journey Steps

1. Step 1 — Align co-founders before conflict finds you: start with "Document equity split with vesting (4y/1y cliff) via lawyer-drafted agreements"
2. Step 2 — Read your cap table like an investor does: start with "Model each round's dilution BEFORE term sheets arrive"
3. How it fits together: Awkward conversations now prevent company-freezing ones later.
