## What it does

The skill reads `docs/gtm-cofounder/founder-brief.md` and `docs/gtm-cofounder/market-research.md`, then writes a separate plan document rather than restating the brief. It opens with a one-line diagnosis, lists what the research added, and splits work into Now, Next and Later. Every item maps to a specific skill in the set.

A roadmap that only reshuffles the founder's own answers has failed. At least one move in Now or Next has to come from the research — a venue, a launch pattern, a segment — and the file says what the research changed. Channels get named as places with their names and links, not as categories. When most of the brief is `[assumption]`, the honest plan is short: go talk to users.

No `founder-brief.md` means the skill sends you to `start-here` first; no `market-research.md` means `research-the-market`. Skip the research and the plan reflects only what the founder said, marked brief-only. The roadmap lands in the project at `docs/gtm-cofounder/gtm-roadmap.md`, and the `docs/gtm-cofounder/` folder is created if it isn't there.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add AIDevGTM/gtm-cofounder --skill 01-strategy-and-roadmap -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/01-strategy-and-roadmap/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/01-strategy-and-roadmap/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add AIDevGTM/gtm-cofounder --skill 01-strategy-and-roadmap -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/01-strategy-and-roadmap/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add AIDevGTM/gtm-cofounder --skill 01-strategy-and-roadmap -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/01-strategy-and-roadmap/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/AIDevGTM/gtm-cofounder --path skills/01-strategy-and-roadmap
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/01-strategy-and-roadmap/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add AIDevGTM/gtm-cofounder --skill 01-strategy-and-roadmap -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/AIDevGTM/gtm-cofounder/tree/HEAD/skills/01-strategy-and-roadmap/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find the next move after a chat session ends
- pick one bottleneck instead of five tasks at once
- match the plan to the product's actual stage
- turn scattered tactics into a sequence
- keep the plan alive across sessions instead of losing it in a thread

## Example prompts
- Build a GTM roadmap from the founder brief and the market research
- I don't know what to work on next — show me the plan and the next move
- Update `docs/gtm-cofounder/gtm-roadmap.md`: move finished items to the log

description: After the founder brief and the market research, turn them into an honest diagnosis and a prioritized, stage-aware GTM roadmap saved as docs/gtm-cofounder/gtm-roadmap.md. This is the hub the user returns to every session to see where they are and the single next move. Use right after start-here, whenever the user doesn't know what to work on next, wants a plan instead of a one-off task, or is drowning in disconnected tactics.

# Strategy and roadmap (your plan)

> A pile of tactics is not a go-to-market. This turns your brief and the market research into a diagnosis and a prioritized plan, and becomes the one place you come back to when you don't know what to do next.

**Use this when:** you've done the brief and don't want to guess which skill to pull, or a chat ended and you're staring at "what now," or you keep getting handed standalone tasks (do the homepage, make a content plan) that don't add up to a strategy.

## The core idea

The other skills are moves. This is the game plan that decides which move, and when. It does three things:

1. **Diagnose.** Read the brief and the research honestly. Where are you actually strong? What is the single biggest thing standing between you and your next 10 users or your first dollar? Name one bottleneck, not five.
2. **Prioritize by stage.** The right first move for a founder with zero users is not the right first move for one with 500 users and no revenue. Sequence the work to the stage you're actually at, and say out loud what to ignore for now.
3. **Persist.** Write it to `docs/gtm-cofounder/gtm-roadmap.md` so it survives the chat. Next session you read the roadmap, not a dead thread.

## How to run this (for the agent)

- **Read `docs/gtm-cofounder/founder-brief.md` and `docs/gtm-cofounder/market-research.md` first.** If the brief does not exist, run `start-here` before this. If the research does not exist, run `research-the-market` before this, or, if the founder wants to skip it, say plainly that the plan will only reflect what they told you and mark it brief-only.
- **The plan must add something they didn't bring.** A roadmap that only rearranges the founder's own answers has failed, however well organized. At least one move in Now or Next has to come from the research (a venue, a launch pattern, a segment, an opening), and the roadmap names what the research changed.
