founder-launch

Your launch lead. Builds a dated, step-by-step launch plan: a cheap real-world test first (a waitlist, a pre-sale or a pop-up with a real price, so real buyers confirm what the simulated panel said), then the countdown to opening day with owners and deadlines, the launch-day run sheet, and the first 30 days of what to measure and what to change. Use when the user says "how do I launch", "launch plan", "when can I open", "launch checklist", "go live", or "soft open".

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by Jakeschincariol on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Founder Launch AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/founder-skill/tree/main/skills/founder-launch
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/founder-skill.git /tmp/founder-skill
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/founder-skill/skills/founder-launch .claude/skills/founder-launch

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Founder Launch in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Founder Launch on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Founder Launch is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Launching is a project with a date. This skill turns everything else in the pack into a dated plan, and starts with the cheapest way to find out if real people will pay before the big money goes out.

Step 1: test before you spend

Pick the cheapest real test that fits the business, and run it before signing the big costs in founder/numbers.json:

business	the test
physical shop or café	a pop-up, a market stall or a pre-order list with a price and a date
online product	a landing page with the price and a "pre-order" or "join the waitlist" button
service or agency	three paid pilot clients at the planned price
subscription	a founding-member offer, paid up front

Write the success line before running it (for example: 50 pre-orders in two weeks at $6.50), and compare the result with the panel's buy rate. If real buyers fall well short of the panel, trust the real buyers and go back to /founder-offer or /founder-pricing.

Step 2: the countdown

From today to launch day, with real dates (ask for the target date; default to the earliest realistic one given lead times in founder/ops.md). Weekly blocks, each task with an owner and a deadline:

Legal and money: registration, bank account, permits from founder/ops.md.
Build: fit-out or website, suppliers ordered by their lead times.
Brand: sign, packaging, profiles from founder/brand.md.
Marketing: the calendar in founder/marketing.md from launch minus 14 days.
Team: hiring and training on the SOPs.
A soft open or friends-and-family day before the public launch.

Mark the critical path: the tasks that move the launch date if they slip.

Step 3: launch day

An hour-by-hour run sheet: who is where, what goes out on which channel, the opening offer, what to do if something breaks (from the risk register).

Step 4: the first 30 days

The weekly numbers to track (from the CFO: units a day against break-even; from marketing: the channel numbers), the level that triggers a change, and a review on days 7, 14 and 30 with the questions to answer.

Output

founder/launch.md with the test, the countdown, the run sheet and the 30-day review. Next: /founder-plan compiles everything into the business plan.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Founder Launch AI skill do?

Why use Founder Launch on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Founder Launch is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Founder Launch in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/founder-skill/tree/main/skills/founder-launch. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Founder Launch?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Founder Launch?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Founder Launch with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Founder Launch AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Jakeschincariol under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
