What it does

One Week Founder Mode is an agent skill from FAIRY123456789/human-edge-agent-skills. Compress an overloaded week of startup, research, job-search, creator, or side-project work into one main bet, up to two microbets, essential maintenance, and an explicit kill list. Use when the user has too many parallel ideas, keeps adding tasks, needs a founder-like weekly operating rhythm, or wants every week to end with real external proof instead of a long completed-task list.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Task breakdown and Job search and resumes. The repository describes itself as: 18 portable Agent Skills for voice-native AI, human judgment, microbets, social tact, writing, life systems, and safe deployment. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user has too many parallel ideas
  • Keeps adding tasks
  • Needs a founder-like weekly operating rhythm
  • Wants every week to end with real external proof instead of a long completed-task list

Example prompts

  • “/one-week-founder-mode”

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Dump every active commitment, idea, obligation, and dependency.
  2. Separate fixed obligations from discretionary work.
  3. Choose one main bet: the result that most changes the next decision if completed this week.
  4. Allow at most two microbets with strict time caps.
  5. Define maintenance: tasks that keep existing systems, relationships, health, or obligations from deteriorating.
  6. Create a kill list: tempting tasks that are intentionally not done this week.
  7. For the main bet, define
  8. Plan by energy and dependency, not by filling every hour.
  9. Midweek, review only three questions: Is the main bet still valid? What is blocked? What should be cut?
  10. End the week by scoring evidence, learning, and continuation—not by task count.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 31a0a16. 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.

    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

One Week Founder Mode loads about 446 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 177 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~446

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.

One Week Founder Mode

A full calendar is not the same as a useful week.

Workflow

  1. Dump every active commitment, idea, obligation, and dependency.
  2. Separate fixed obligations from discretionary work.
  3. Choose one main bet: the result that most changes the next decision if completed this week.
  4. Allow at most two microbets with strict time caps.
  5. Define maintenance: tasks that keep existing systems, relationships, health, or obligations from deteriorating.
  6. Create a kill list: tempting tasks that are intentionally not done this week.
  7. For the main bet, define:
    • external user or stakeholder;
    • definition of done;
    • evidence expected by Sunday;
    • first irreversible dependency;
    • one unblock action.
  8. Plan by energy and dependency, not by filling every hour.
  9. Midweek, review only three questions: Is the main bet still valid? What is blocked? What should be cut?
  10. End the week by scoring evidence, learning, and continuation—not by task count.

Output

Return:

  • Main bet
  • Two microbets max
  • Maintenance
  • Kill list
  • Weekly sequence
  • Midweek review
  • Sunday evidence review

When everything is marked urgent, force ranking.
