  • 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.

  • 12 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by legioncodeinc on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Incorporation Startup Stack Stinger AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

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.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/legioncodeinc/vibe-coding-tools/tree/main/plugins/business-and-product-tools/skills/incorporation-startup-stack-stinger
  4. 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/legioncodeinc/vibe-coding-tools.git /tmp/vibe-coding-tools
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/vibe-coding-tools/plugins/business-and-product-tools/skills/incorporation-startup-stack-stinger .claude/skills/incorporation-startup-stack-stinger
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Incorporation Startup Stack Stinger 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 Incorporation Startup Stack Stinger 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 Incorporation Startup Stack Stinger 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.

Incorporation & Startup Stack Stinger

Decision toolkit for incorporation-startup-stack-wasp-drone. It encodes the triage logic, comparison tables, and step-by-step workflows for every phase of company formation and early back-office setup.

Always start with the entity-type decision (Step 1) before touching platform selection. Platform choice is downstream of entity type; reversing the order produces conflicting advice.

Step 1 — Entity type decision

See guides/00-entity-type-decision.md for the full decision tree.

Fast-path rules (2026):

  • VC-funded intent + US founders → Delaware C-Corp. No discussion needed.
  • Bootstrapped, profitable from day one, no outside equity → Wyoming LLC or Delaware LLC.
  • International founders with complex holding needs → consult guides/06-attorney-triggers.md first.

The Delaware franchise tax is $450/year (Assumed Authorized Shares Method). The penalty for choosing wrong is $8K+ in conversion costs. See guides/00-entity-type-decision.md.

Step 2 — Formation platform

See guides/01-formation-platforms.md for the full 2026 comparison table (pricing, processing time, included services, best-for profile).

2026 pricing at a glance:

PlatformOne-timeAnnual (yr 2+)Best for
Stripe Atlas$500$100 (RA)Solo/small SaaS, non-US founder speed
Clerky$425–$799$99/yearYC-track, SAFE activity, complex equity
Doola$297–$597$300–$500International, lowest entry price
Firstbase$399–$599$299/yearNon-US founders, compliance dashboard

Source: research/research-summary.md + individual platform research files.

Step 3 — EIN acquisition

See guides/02-ein-workflow.md. Online IRS application: ~4 business days. Complete IRS Form SS-4 online at https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/apply-for-an-employer-identification-number-ein-online.

Step 4 — Banking

See guides/03-banking.md. 2026 FDIC pass-through update: Mercury = $5M, Brex Vault = $6M, Relay = $0–$30/month. Source: research/external/mercury-vs-brex-banking-2026.md (source-repository research, not shipped with the plugin).

WARNING re: Mercury and international founders: Mercury executed mass account closures for sanctioned-country passport holders in August 2024. International founders should consider Relay as primary alternative. See guides/03-banking.md.

Step 5 — Bookkeeping

See guides/04-bookkeeping.md. Upgrade trigger: monthly expenses > $25K–$50K, or preparing for Series A.

WARNING re: Bench: Bench shut down December 27, 2024 and was reacquired. Current operational status must be verified before recommending. See guides/04-bookkeeping.md open question.

Step 6 — Founder paperwork minimum

See guides/05-founder-paperwork.md. Correct order:

Entity formation → Stock purchase + vesting agreements → IP assignment (PIIA/CIIA) → 83(b) election within 30 calendar days → Banking setup → Bookkeeping setup

CRITICAL: The 83(b) election is a 30-day hard deadline. No exceptions. IRS Form 15620 now enables electronic filing (available July 2025). Source: research/external/83b-election-guide-2026.md (source-repository research, not shipped with the plugin).

Step 7 — Attorney triggers

See guides/06-attorney-triggers.md. Get a human attorney when: international holding structure, complex IP ownership pre-formation, co-founder equity dispute, SAFE notes at formation, accelerated vesting disputes.

Worked examples

  • examples/happy-path-saas-solo-founder.md — US solo founder, VC-backed intent, Stripe Atlas, Mercury, Pilot.
  • examples/edge-case-international-founder.md — Non-US founder, Delaware C-Corp via Firstbase, Relay banking, attorney referral for holding structure.

Templates

  • templates/formation-decision-report.md — Saved artifact the Angel fills in per engagement.
  • templates/founder-paperwork-checklist.md — Checkbox checklist ordered by deadline urgency.

Reports

  • reports/README.md — How past formation-report artifacts accumulate over time.

Critical directives

  • Always lead with entity-type recommendation before platform selection. See guides/00-entity-type-decision.md.
  • Never present formation-platform marketing copy as neutral analysis. Cite primary source fee schedules only. See research/external/stripe-atlas-official-docs-2026.md (source-repository research, not shipped with the plugin).
  • Explicitly call out the 83(b) election 30-day deadline in every C-Corp output. See guides/05-founder-paperwork.md and research/external/83b-election-guide-2026.md (source-repository research, not shipped with the plugin).
  • Verify Bench operational status before recommending. See guides/04-bookkeeping.md open question.
  • State attorney-required triggers explicitly. See guides/06-attorney-triggers.md.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Incorporation Startup Stack Stinger AI skill do?

Set up a software company. Use for entity choice, Atlas vs Clerky, EIN, banking, bookkeeping, or founder paperwork. Read README.md for the guide map.

Why use Incorporation Startup Stack Stinger on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Incorporation Startup Stack Stinger 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 Incorporation Startup Stack Stinger in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/legioncodeinc/vibe-coding-tools/tree/main/plugins/business-and-product-tools/skills/incorporation-startup-stack-stinger. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Incorporation Startup Stack Stinger?

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 Incorporation Startup Stack Stinger?

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

Is the Incorporation Startup Stack Stinger AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by legioncodeinc under the AGPL-3.0-or-later 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.
