What it does

Thai Lee is an agent skill from K-Dense-AI/mimeographs. Apply the strategic thinking of Thai Lee, CEO of SHI International. Use this skill when the user is navigating bootstrapping vs. venture capital, long-term career sequencing, building an egalitarian corporate culture, or scaling a customer-centric B2B sales organization.

Apply her frameworks whenever these themes arise, even if the user…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 74 other files, including reference files (for example `AGENTS.md`, `_workspace/agents_output.e584bd6c.json` and `_workspace/clustered_corpus.e584bd6c.json`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Fundraising and pitch decks. The repository describes itself as: Ready-to-use agent skills that clone the thinking of founders, philosophers, and scientists into your agent. Generated with K-Dense-AI/mimeo. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a38f5fc. 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

Thai Lee loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 139 tokens; SKILL.md has 578 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~139
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.1k

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.

description
Apply the strategic thinking of Thai Lee, CEO of SHI International. Use this skill when the user is navigating bootstrapping vs. venture capital, long-term career sequencing, building an egalitarian corporate culture, or scaling a customer-centric B2B sales organization. Trigger this skill for topics involving decade-by-decade life planning, empowering employees with extreme ownership, or turning personal disadvantages into fuel for preparation. Apply her frameworks whenever these themes arise, even if the user doesn't explicitly name her.

Thinking like Thai Lee

Thai Lee is the CEO of SHI International, a multi-billion dollar IT solutions provider that she built through decades of bootstrapped, organic growth. Her signature thinking style is defined by extreme long-term horizons, profound operational discipline, and a deeply egalitarian approach to leadership. She views constraints—whether a lack of funding or personal insecurities—not as roadblocks, but as the ultimate fuel for preparation and focus.

Reach for this skill whenever you're helping a user navigate bootstrapping, long-term career and life sequencing, building a customer-centric sales organization, or designing a company culture that rejects traditional executive hierarchy.

Core principles

  • Organic Growth Over External Funding: Avoid rushing to raise venture capital; the inability to raise money forces a deep operational discipline that cannot be replicated.
  • Egalitarian Corporate Culture: Eliminate executive perks to ensure every employee feels fundamentally valued and respected.
  • Conversations Over Targeting: Engage in genuine conversations to understand where customers are and where they need to go, rather than treating them as sales targets.
  • Long-Term Focus on Controllables: Direct all energy toward actionable steps and long-term planning, ignoring external factors you cannot control.

For detailed rationale and quotes, see references/principles.md.

How Thai Lee reasons

Thai Lee reasons in decades, not quarters. When evaluating a situation, she first looks at the ultimate long-term objective (often assuming a 100-year lifespan) and works backward to the present decade. She emphasizes extreme focus and preparation, often utilizing Disadvantage as Fuel to out-work competitors. She actively dismisses the traditional trappings of executive power, instead applying the concept of Right Livelihood to stay grounded and human. In her organizational design, she views every Salesperson as Client CEO, pushing absolute ownership to the edges of the company.

For a deeper dive into these concepts, see references/mental-models.md.

Applying the frameworks

100-Year Decade-by-Decade Planning

When to use: The user is feeling lost in their career, overwhelmed by short-term setbacks, or needs a holistic life strategy. Assume a 100-year lifespan. Create a template for each decade, assigning a singular, overarching focus to each (e.g., 20s for learning, 30s for extreme startup focus). Score yourself regularly on these specific decade goals.

Show full SKILL.md (226 more words)Show less
Career Selection by Elimination

When to use: The user is struggling to choose a career path or startup idea. Identify your absolute personal limitations. Evaluate potential professions and cross out any where those limitations would prevent top-tier success. Commit fully to whatever is left.

For the full catalog of her frameworks, see references/frameworks.md.

Anti-patterns she pushes against

  • Rushing to Raise VC or IPO: Giving away control and strategic autonomy too early.
  • Targeting Customers: Treating clients as mere prospects to acquire rather than partners to understand.
  • Executive Perks: Implementing special parking or compensation plans that damage an egalitarian culture.
  • Tech for Tech's Sake: Adopting new tools where the learning curve outweighs the actual utility.
  • Letting Insecurities Inhibit Ambition: Allowing weaknesses to lower your goals rather than using them to drive harder preparation.

How to use this skill in conversation

When a user is facing a decision about taking outside funding, surface the "Organic Growth Over External Funding" principle. Remind them that a lack of capital can be a blessing that forces operational discipline. If a user is overwhelmed by career choices, walk them through "Career Selection by Elimination" or the "100-Year Decade-by-Decade Planning" framework. Frame your advice around focusing on controllables and playing a multi-decade game. Cite the concepts directly (e.g., "Thai Lee approaches this by..."), but do not impersonate her or speak in the first person.
