find-community — Claude Code skill: identify niche and community
A skill that helps you find the community you already belong to and spot problems worth solving for a minimalist business. Use it when searching for a startup idea or unsure where to start as an entrepreneur.
npx skills add slavingia/skills --skill find-community -a claude-codeWhat find-community does
The skill follows one principle: people first, product second. Instead of brainstorming in isolation, you work through questions—what communities you already inhabit, where you spend time online, what problems you hear repeatedly. These could be professional groups, hobby communities, forums, Discord servers, Reddit, Slack, local organizations, or social media groups.
Next, it walks you through evaluating each community: are you genuinely embedded there, is the pain acute enough that people would pay, can you reach them, is the audience the right size. The output is 1–3 concrete communities with specific problems identified, how you connect to them, and where these people gather.
The skill draws from "The Minimalist Entrepreneur" by Sahil Lavingia and flags common mistakes: don't invent a community from scratch, don't chase market size over genuine interest, don't skip community participation and jump straight to "what to sell."
What it helps with
- identify a niche for a minimalist business venture
- surface recurring pain points in communities where you're active
- determine if people would pay for a solution
- narrow down to 1–3 realistic communities to launch in
- avoid the trap of inventing an idea instead of noticing a real problem
Example prompts for the agent
- Help me find a community where I can build a minimalist business

- What problems do people in my communities mention, and would they pay to solve them?
