studio-startup_skill

Overview

This skill orchestrates the full journey from startup idea to a working MVP by coordinating specialized agents and tools. It provides a step-by-step workflow that covers strategy, requirements, tech selection, validation, system design, implementation, and handoff. Use it when starting a new project from scratch — it is not intended for existing codebases.

How this skill works

The skill runs a sequenced set of phases and creates todo-tracking for progress. It consults user settings, invokes domain-specific agents (ideation, tech-stack-advisor, senior-architect, code-assistant, etc.), generates docs and code, and marks each phase complete as it proceeds. It supports explicit command invocation or natural-language activation and saves state on errors or interruptions.

When to use it

• Starting a new MVP, side project, or SaaS from scratch
• You need end-to-end orchestration: strategy → implementation
• You have an idea but no technical plan or architecture
• You want a reproducible project scaffold and documentation
• You prefer guided phase-tracked workflows with automated handoff

Best practices

• Provide your preferences in the local settings file to tailor stacks and defaults
• Start from the Strategy phase unless you already have validated product specs
• Choose sensible defaults for path, git, and deployment to speed setup
• Validate and review each phase output before proceeding to implementation
• Keep the workflow interactive — accept or override recommendations explicitly

Example use cases

• Turn a one-paragraph app idea into a prioritized MVP plan and working repo
• Create a web app scaffold with architecture docs, README, and initial code
• Generate API service boilerplate with endpoints, models, and deployment notes
• Onboard a small team by producing clear OKRs, user stories, and design artifacts
• Recover progress after an interruption by resuming from the saved state
