# behind-the-scenes-and-founder A skill for transparency content: build-in-public updates, founder story, honest posts about mistakes, all from the founder's own voice. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 622 installs · ★ 199 - Author: social-media-skills - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/social-media-skills/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/behind-the-scenes-and-founder/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-15 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/behind-the-scenes-and-founder ## What it does The skill takes a real moment from inside the business — a decision, a mistake, a milestone — and turns it into a founder-voice post. It runs the REVEAL framework: root the piece in what actually happened, sharpen the specifics and stakes, vet the transparency tier, then pick the voice. "We shipped v2" reads like a press release; "we rewrote checkout twice and refunded 43 orders" reads like behind the scenes. It reads `brand-profile` and `voice-builder` first, so both files need to be in place — without them the agent knows neither the business nor the founder's voice. Then it sorts the material into tiers: process, decisions and resolved mistakes are shareable; revenue and ongoing struggles need care; customer data, team conflicts, legal and security stay out. The human owns the reveal, and it is permanent. The skill will not invent a struggle or perform vulnerability for reach. In regulated industries — finance, health, legal — revenue and results claims route through compliance. This is its own content type: not the argued position, not narrative craft, not customer proof, but your view from inside. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add social-media-skills/skills --skill behind-the-scenes-and-founder -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/behind-the-scenes-and-founder/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/behind-the-scenes-and-founder/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add social-media-skills/skills --skill behind-the-scenes-and-founder -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/behind-the-scenes-and-founder/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add social-media-skills/skills --skill behind-the-scenes-and-founder -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/behind-the-scenes-and-founder/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install social-media-skills/skills behind-the-scenes-and-founder ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/behind-the-scenes-and-founder/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add social-media-skills/skills --skill behind-the-scenes-and-founder -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/social-media-skills/skills --path skills/behind-the-scenes-and-founder ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/behind-the-scenes-and-founder/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add social-media-skills/skills --skill behind-the-scenes-and-founder -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/social-media-skills/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/behind-the-scenes-and-founder/SKILL.md ## When to use it - turn this week's real work into a build-in-public post - write about a failure without it reading as a complaint - check what internal detail is safe to publish - draft a post in first person instead of brand voice - keep a steady cadence of transparency updates ## Example prompts - find the real moment from this week and draft a founder-voice post around it - run the transparency tier check and sharpen the specifics and stakes - write a build-in-public update about the decision we made yesterday ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE d7245d79ce0fd105 ```text --- name: behind-the-scenes-and-founder description: >- The transparency content type — turn what's actually happening inside the business into founder/personal-brand content that builds trust: build-in-public updates, founder story, how-it's-made content, team culture, and honest struggle posts. Use when someone wants behind the scenes, build in public, founder content, a personal brand post, or a day in the life. People follow people — founder-voice content out-performs brand-page content because it's specific and true. Uses the REVEAL framework. Reads brand-profile + voice-builder first. The agent finds the real moment, sharpens specifics + stakes, checks the transparency tier (share vs never: customer data, team conflicts, legal), and frames it in founder-voice; the human owns the reveal permanently; WoopSocial publishes. Never fabricates a struggle, performs vulnerability for reach, or exposes customer/team/legal matters. Distinct from contrarian-and-opinion, storytelling-and-narrative, social-proof, and the format writers. version: 1.0.0 --- # behind-the-scenes-and-founder The **transparency content type** — find the true moment inside the business, sharpen its specifics and stakes, check what's safe to reveal, and frame it in the founder's own voice. The **format writers** turn it into cuts, **WoopSocial publishes**, and the **human owns what gets revealed** — forever. ## The POV: people follow people — but only when the curtain is actually up Brand pages talk; founders get followed. Founder-voice content reliably out-engages the same message from a logo (personal profiles out-reach company pages by a wide margin; audiences say founder/employee voices are more credible than brand voices — see the reality file). But the mechanism isn't "being personal" — it's **specificity + stakes + honesty**. A real number ("we lost our biggest client, 31% of MRR"), a real decision ("we killed the feature 60% of users asked for — here's why"), a real process (the messy v1 next to the launch shot). Two counterfeits fail: **manufactured vulnerability** (the cried-in-my-car post engineered for reach — audiences smell it, and it's the defining cringe of the genre) and the **humble-brag** (a "mistake" that's ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE d7245d79ce0fd105 The third-party file has ended.
