Weekly Project Digests
thedotmack/claude-mem
Turns a project's claude-mem timeline into a week-by-week narrative, splitting it by ISO week and running one subagent per week that receives the prior week's carry-forward block.
Make weekly startup growth decisions using growth rate, user behavior, and experiment evidence.

yc-weekly-growth-compassMake weekly startup growth decisions using growth rate, user behavior, and experiment evidence.
Yc Weekly Growth Compass is an agent skill from magnus919/agent-skills. Make weekly startup growth decisions using growth rate, user behavior, and experiment evidence. Do not use this skill for runway, burn, or profitability trajectory analysis; use yc-default-alive-calculator for financial sustainability.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `README.md`, `assets/compound-growth-table.md` and `evals/evals.json`). Compatibility notes: Python 3.9+ with standard library only (no external dependencies). The growth-compass.py script uses only math, json, and sys.
The repository describes itself as: Curated collection of AI agent skills for Hermes and other agent frameworks. The licence is MIT.

Yc Weekly Growth Compass loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,058 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

This skill also uses 6 other files; get the full folder from GitHub."If there's one number every founder should always know, it's the company's growth rate. That's the measure of a startup. If you don't know that number, you don't even know if you're doing well or badly." — Paul Graham, "Startup = Growth" (September 2012)
This skill operationalizes Y Combinator's core growth philosophy into a repeatable weekly practice. The growth rate is not just a metric — it's a compass for every decision a founder makes.
| Trigger | Example |
|---|---|
| "What's my growth rate?" | Routine founder check-in |
| "Are we growing fast enough?" | Trajectory anxiety |
| "Should we prioritize feature X or growth Y?" | Decision framing |
| "Where will we be in a year?" | Projection/planning |
| "How does our growth compare to YC benchmarks?" | Benchmarking |
| "Is this initiative worth doing?" | Growth compass check |
| "How long to double our revenue?" | Milestone planning |
YC's empirical benchmarks, based on measuring thousands of startups:
| Weekly Growth | Annualized | YC Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| 1% | 1.7x | Concerning — haven't found product-market fit |
| 2% | 2.8x | Below average — need significant acceleration |
| 5% | 12.6x | Good — solid trajectory, keep pushing |
| 7% | 33.7x | Very good — exceptional progress |
| 10% | 142.0x | Outstanding — rare breakout trajectory |
The inflection point: 5-7% weekly is the target zone YC coaches for.
Use this heuristic for any strategic decision:
This transforms the bewildering complexity of startup building into a single optimization problem, exactly as Graham intended.

time_to_target | If target set, periods to reach it |
assessment | Plain-English interpretation |
growth_rate = ((current_value - previous_value) / previous_value) × 100For series with 3+ data points, the script computes:
The YC tier thresholds (2%, 5%, 7%, and 10%) describe weekly growth. Monthly and quarterly inputs are converted without changing their annual compound multiplier:
weekly_rate = (1 + period_rate)^(periods_per_year / 52) - 1The main benchmark and assessment always use that weekly equivalent. Period growth remains separately reported and is used for period-based projections and doubling time. The comparison table labels its rows as weekly benchmark rates and shows the equivalent rate for the selected input period; it does not classify a monthly or quarterly rate with weekly thresholds.
From Graham's essay: "We usually advise startups to pick a growth rate they think they can hit, and then just try to hit it every week. If they decide to grow at 7% a week and they hit that number, they're successful for that week. There's nothing more they need to do. But if they don't hit it, they've failed in the only thing that mattered."
The script operationalizes this by:
future_value = current_value × (1 + growth_rate/100)^periodsThe magic of compound growth at YC benchmarks:
Starting from $1,000/month MRR:
| Weekly Growth | Month 12 | Month 24 | Month 36 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1% | $1,700 | $2,900 | $4,900 |
| 5% | $12,600 | $159,000 | $2.0M |
| 7% | $33,700 | $1.1M | $38M |
| 10% | $142,000 | $20.2M | $2.9B |
The difference between 5% and 7% weekly is the difference between a lifestyle business and a category-defining company. Small variations in growth rate produce qualitatively different outcomes.
Use YC's diagnostic frame:
What's your weekly growth rate? ─→ < 5%: Founders aren't doing
↓ unscalable things
↓ 5-7%: Good, keep pushing
↓ 10%+: Exceptional
What's your growth rate trend? ─→ Accelerating: product-market fit
↓ Decelerating: market saturation or churn
↓ Flat: plateau, needs intervention
Is revenue growing same as users? ─→ No: monetization gappython scripts/growth-compass.py \

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Yc Weekly Growth Compass needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Python 3.9+ with standard library only (no external dependencies). The growth-compass.py script uses only math, json, and sys..
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Yc Weekly Growth Compass is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 10k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.7k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
