## What it does

It looks for `FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md` in the project root and pulls out company name, industry, target audience, value proposition, products, stage, competitors, pricing model and advantages. No file? Then it asks up to 10 diagnostic questions through the AskUserQuestion tool: product stage, ideal first customer, the problem you solve, how people find such solutions today, what you already tried for acquisition, and what resources you have.

From there it works through product-market fit, the market entry wedge, competitive positioning, where your ICP actually makes buying decisions, and whether the motion should be product-led, sales-led, community-led or hybrid. Output is exactly three strategies ranked by likelihood of working. Each one has three parts: the what and why, a step-by-step playbook with channels, messaging, segments and metrics to track, and one task you can finish in the next 30–60 minutes.

The skill pushes for specifics. Describe your audience as "small businesses" or "everyone" and the diagnostic step will keep asking, because vague ICP produces vague strategies. Have your current acquisition numbers and your budget and team limits ready — the channel choice leans on them.

## When to use it
- pick a market entry wedge for an MVP-stage product
- turn a vague audience into a real ICP
- break a launch into steps with metrics and milestones
- figure out which acquisition channel fits the product
- get one concrete task for today instead of a quarterly plan

## Example prompts
- go-to-market-plan: we're launching a logistics SaaS, MVP is done, no customers yet
- go-to-market-plan — launched six months ago but sales are flat, help me sort out channels
- go-to-market-plan: we're scaling and need to find what blocks 10x growth

# 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)
