What it does
Founder Market Fit is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Articulate founder-market fit — the why-you and why-now story investors and accelerators (YC-style) probe hardest. Use when asked to write the founder story, answer 'why are you the right team', draft YC / accelerator application answers, or explain founder-market fit. Produces a sharp narrative connecting the founder's unfair insight and earned secrets to this specific opportunity — concrete, not a humble-brag.
Its SKILL.md is about 750 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: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to write the founder story
- Answer why are you the right team
- Draft YC / accelerator application answers
- Explain founder-market fit
Example prompts
- “why are you the right team”
- “/founder-market-fit”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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
Founder Market Fit loads about 748 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 365 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.
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
- Articulate founder-market fit — the why-you and why-now story investors and accelerators (YC-style) probe hardest. Use when asked to write the founder story, answer 'why are you the right team', draft YC / accelerator application answers, or explain founder-market fit. Produces a sharp narrative connecting the founder's unfair insight and earned secrets to this specific opportunity — concrete, not a humble-brag.
Founder-Market Fit Skill
The strongest founder stories aren't résumés — they show an earned secret: something this founder knows or can do that others can't, and why that makes them the right person to win this market now. This skill builds that narrative.
Working from a brief
Given a thin bio, draft the full narrative anyway, drawing out the strongest plausible angle and marking inferred details (assumed — confirm). Never refuse for "not impressive enough background"; find the genuine edge in what's there. No placeholders.
Required Inputs
Ask for (if not already provided):
- The founder(s)' background — work, what they built, what they obsess over
- The idea / market and how they came to it
- The earned secret — what they learned the hard way that the market doesn't know
- Target (a VC pitch, a YC/accelerator application, a recruiting narrative)
Output Format
1. The one-line founder-market fit
"[Founder] is the right person to build [this] because [earned insight]" — in a single, specific sentence.
2. The story (3 beats)
- Origin — how they collided with this problem (lived it, built near it, obsessed over it)
- The secret — what they learned that others haven't, stated as a concrete insight not a platitude
- The proof — evidence they can execute: what they've already built, shipped, or learned
Show full SKILL.md (158 more words)Show less
3. Why now, why you
Tie the founder's timing and capability to the market's why-now. The reader should feel this is inevitable for this team.
4. Application-ready answers (if YC/accelerator)
Crisp answers to the classic prompts:
- What's your unfair advantage / what do you understand that others don't?
- Why did you pick this idea? How do you know people want it?
- What have you built before / why will you out-execute?
Quality Checks
- The fit is shown through a specific earned secret, not a list of credentials
- Every claim is concrete (a thing built/shipped/learned), not adjectives ("passionate", "driven")
- Ties founder capability to the market's why-now
- Honest — strengthens a real background rather than inventing one
Anti-Patterns
- A résumé in prose ("10 years at BigCo, then...")
- Vague passion claims with no evidence
- Borrowed secrets (industry truisms anyone could state)
- Overclaiming — investors discount stories that don't ring true
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Write the founder story."
- "Draft YC / accelerator application answers."
- "Explain founder-market fit."
