/cs:office-hours <topic — YC-style 6-question founder interrogation before any advice.

  • Works in 6 steps: Problem → Customer → Distribution → …
  • A founder question is too vague to route — e.g
  • SKILL.md covers When to Run, The Six Questions, Output Format and Routing, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Office Hours is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. /cs:office-hours <topic — YC-style 6-question founder interrogation before any advice. Forces clarity on problem, customer, distribution, defensibility, capital, and founder fit. Use when a founder question is too vague to route — e.g. 'should we grow faster?' — or before drafting a strategy brief.

Its SKILL.md is about 940 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A founder question is too vague to route — e.g

Example prompts

  • “should we grow faster?”
  • “/office-hours”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Problem
  2. Customer
  3. Distribution
  4. Defensibility
  5. Capital
  6. Founder Fit

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Office Hours loads about 935 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 423 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~935

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

/cs:office-hours <topic> — YC-style 6-question founder interrogation before any advice. Forces clarity on problem, customer, distribution, defensibility, capital, and founder fit. Use when a founder question is too vague to route — e.g. 'should we grow faster?' — or before drafting a strategy brief.

/cs:office-hours — Six-Question Founder Interrogation

Command: /cs:office-hours <topic>

Before any advice, the founder must answer six questions. Modeled on YC office hours: no analysis until the founder has done the thinking. This is the cognitive forcing function that prevents drift into solutionism.

When to Run

  • Before starting any major initiative
  • Before fundraising
  • Before a strategic pivot
  • When the founder is excited (excitement is a tell — pressure-test)
  • When the answer is "obvious" (the obvious answer is usually wrong)

The Six Questions

The founder must answer all six in writing before any C-role weighs in.

1. Problem

Whose problem is this, and how do they describe it in their own words?

  • Not your framing. Their words.
  • If you can't quote a customer, you don't have a problem worth solving.
2. Customer

Who is the ICP? Name one real person who would buy this today.

  • Real human. Real company. Real seat.
  • If you can't name one, the ICP isn't ready.
3. Distribution

How does the customer first hear your name?

  • Channel, intent, search query, friend, conference — name it.
  • If the answer is "we'll figure out marketing later," the answer is no.
4. Defensibility

If this works, what stops a competitor from copying it in 6 months?

  • Network effects, switching costs, data moat, regulatory moat, brand — pick one.
  • "We'll execute better" is not a defense.
5. Capital

What does this cost, when does it pay back, and what's the alternative use of the money?

  • Total spend, payback months, opportunity cost.
  • If you don't know, don't approve it.

6. Founder Fit

Why are you the right person to do this — and why does this matter enough to spend the next 3 years on it?

  • Founder-market fit is the strongest predictor of survival.
  • If the answer is mercenary, the company will be too.

Output Format

After the founder answers all six, this command produces a one-page brief:

markdown
# Office Hours Brief: <topic>
**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Founder:** <name>

## 1. Problem
> [founder's verbatim answer]

## 2. Customer
> [founder's verbatim answer]

## 3. Distribution
> [founder's verbatim answer]

## 4. Defensibility
> [founder's verbatim answer]

## 5. Capital
> [founder's verbatim answer]

## 6. Founder Fit
> [founder's verbatim answer]

---

**Assessment** (one of):
- 🟢 GREEN — ship the brief to /cs:boardroom
- 🟡 YELLOW — sharpen Q[N] before proceeding
- 🔴 RED — kill or redefine; do not proceed

Routing

After the brief is GREEN, route to:

  • Single-role question → corresponding /cs:{role}-review
  • Multi-role question → /cs:brief then /cs:boardroom

Why This Works

Most bad decisions don't fail at execution — they fail at framing. Forcing six concrete answers surfaces the framing weaknesses before anyone burns time on analysis. The founder either fills the gaps or recognizes the question wasn't ready.

This is the YC office hours pattern adapted for Claude Code: the interrogation is the value.

  • /cs:brief — turn the answers into a one-page strategy brief
  • /cs:boardroom — multi-role deliberation
  • /cs:founder-mode — let the system pick the next step
  • All cs-* advisors consume the brief output
  • cs-chief-of-staff triggers /cs:office-hours when intake is unclear
