Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
Launch is the primary shelf because the skill’s output is market entry, channel choice, and customer acquisition—not core product construction. Distribution subphase matches actionable GTM roadmaps, channel mix, and penetration tactics the skill promises.
Where it fits
Compare three market-entry paths before committing engineering to the wrong ICP.
Choose between community-led, partnership, and paid acquisition for first 100 customers.
Refresh GTM after product-market fit signals to scale channels that already convert.
How it compares
Strategy workflow grounded in FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md—not a one-shot SEO keyword list or paid-ads setup integration.

# Go-to-Market Plan ## Purpose Analyze the founder's business and current stage to deliver 3 specific, actionable go-to-market strategies that will drive measurable market penetration and customer acquisition. --- ## Execution Logic **Check $ARGUMENTS first to determine execution mode:** ### If $ARGUMENTS is empty or not provided: Respond with: "go-to-market-plan loaded, proceed with details about your product, target market, or current launch situation" Then wait for the user to provide their requirements in the next message. ### If $ARGUMENTS contains content: Proceed immediately to Task Execution (skip the "loaded" message). --- ## Task Execution When user requirements are available (either from initial $ARGUMENTS or follow-up message): ### 1. Read Business Context Check if `FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md` exists in the project root. - **If it exists:** Read it and extract: company name, industry, target audience, value proposition, products/services, business stage, competitors, pricing model, unique advantages. - **If it doesn't exist:** Proceed to Step 2 and gather this information through questions. ### 2. Diagnose GTM Readiness Evaluate whether you have enough information to produce high-confidence, actionable go-to-market strategies: **Required information to proceed without questions:** - What problem the product solves (core value proposition) - Who the ideal customer is (specific ICP, not "small businesses" or "everyone") - Product readiness stage (MVP, beta, ready to scale, etc.) - Competitive landscape (who else solves this, how you're different) - Distribution model (direct, channel partners, marketplace, etc.) - Pricing strategy (freemium, paid, enterprise, etc.) - Current market position (pre-launch, launched but struggling, ready to scale) - Available resources (team, budget, runway) **If you have enough context:** Proceed directly to Step 4. **If critical information is missing:** Proceed to Step 3. ### 3. Ask Diagnostic Questions (When Needed) Use the AskUserQuestion tool to gather missing information. Ask between 3-10 questions based on what's needed: **Core GTM questions:** - What stage is your product at right now? (Idea, MVP, beta, launched, scaling) - Who is your ideal first customer? (Be specific: role, company size, industry, pain point) - What's the core problem your product solves? How do people solve it today? - How do customers currently discover solutions like yours? - What's your biggest struggle with go-to-market right now? - What have you already tried for customer acquisition? What worked? What didn't? - What resources do you have available? (Budget, team, timeline, network) **Context-specific questions:** - For pre-launch: "Have you validated product-market fit? How many people have you talked to?" - For launched but struggling: "Where are you getting customers today? What's your current CAC vs. LTV?" - For scaling: "What channels are working? What's your constraint to 10x growth?" - For competitive positioning: "Who are your top 3 competitors? Why would someone choose you over them?" - For pricing clarity: "Have you tested pricing? What signals indicate customers will pay this amount?" **IMPORTANT:** Only ask questions for information you truly need. Don't ask for information you can infer from FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md or the user's initial message. ### 4. Analyze Market Entry Strategy Based on the context gathered, analyze: 1. **Product-Market Fit Status:** Do they have it? How do you know? 2. **Market Entry Point:** Where is the wedge? (Specific
