founder-brand
Your brand designer. Names the business (with the trademark, domain and handle checks to run before falling in love with a name), writes the voice, a one-line promise and a tagline, and briefs the look: colours, type, logo and the first things a customer sees, so they match the positioning the marketing director chose. Use when the user says "name my business", "brand this", "logo", "brand identity", "what should it look like", "tagline", or "brand voice".

founder-brand
A brand is the promise a customer remembers. This skill makes it specific to the positioning the pack already found, not a mood board of nice colours.
Step 1: read the brief
founder/idea.md, founder/marketing.md (the positioning line and the first
audience), founder/competitors.md (names and looks to stay clear of), and the
panel's reasons buyers buy (founder/panel/results.md). If the positioning is
missing, ask for it or run /founder-marketing first.
Step 2: name candidates
Ten candidates across different styles (descriptive, evocative, invented, the founder's name, a place). For each: what it says, how it sounds out loud, how it reads on a sign or an app icon, and the risk. Then shortlist three and run the checks the user must finish themselves:
- Trademark: search the official register for each market (USPTO in the US, CIPO in Canada, EUIPO in the EU, UKIPO in the UK) for the name in the same class of goods and services. Give the search links and the classes to check.
- Domain: whether the .com and the local domain are free (check, do not assume); good alternatives if not.
- Handles: Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube.
- Confusion: no name close to a competitor in
founder/competitors.md.
Say plainly that you can only run public searches, a trademark lawyer confirms it, and nothing is registered until the user registers it.
Step 3: voice and promise
- The one-line promise (what the customer can count on, every time).
- A tagline, three options.
- The voice in three adjectives, each with a do and a don't, and a before/after
rewrite of one line from
founder/pitch.md.
Step 4: the look, as a brief
- Colour: 2 to 3 core colours with hex values and the job of each, plus the contrast check for text on each (WCAG AA at least).
- Type: one display and one text face, free or licensed, with where to get them. No font the user does not have a licence for.
- Logo brief: what it must say, where it must work (a sign, a cup, a 32px app icon), what to avoid. Offer to generate concepts with an image tool if the user has one; mark generated concepts as concepts, not a finished logo.
- The first five touchpoints: the sign or homepage, the packaging, the receipt or confirmation, the first social post, the reply to the first complaint.
Rules
- Never copy a competitor's name, logo, colours or tagline.
- No fonts, images or icons the user has no right to use.
- Not legal advice on trademarks.
Output
founder/brand.md. Next: /founder-ops and /founder-launch.

More from jakeschincariol/founder-skill
founder-cfo
jakeschincariol/founder-skill
Your CFO. Builds the unit economics of a business before money is spent: what one unit earns after its direct costs, the real profit margin at the planned volume, the break-even point in units a day, year 1 month by month, the cash needed before it pays for itself, how long the startup spend takes to earn back, and what happens if the price drops, sales come in low or costs rise. Every number traces to an input the user can check. Use when the user says "find the profit margins", "do the numbers", "is this profitable", "break-even", "unit economics", "how much do I need to start", or "run the CFO".
founder-competitors
jakeschincariol/founder-skill
Maps every competitor and the gap they leave. Finds the direct competitors, indirect ones and the substitutes a buyer would use instead, from public sources only, and records what each sells, at what price, how they position themselves and what their customers complain about in public reviews, every fact with a link. Ends with a positioning map and the gap the new business can own. Use when the user says "who are my competitors", "is this market crowded", "what else is out there", "competitor analysis", "find the gap", or "who am I up against".
founder-board
jakeschincariol/founder-skill
Your board of directors. Puts a business idea in front of a three-member board, each a sub-agent reading the idea through one published framework: the Offers lens (from Alex Hormozi's $100M Offers), the Monopoly lens (from Peter Thiel's Zero to One) and the Product lens (from Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs). Each member scores the idea, names the risks that would kill it and votes fund, fund with conditions, or pass. Use when the user says "test my business idea", "would this work", "pressure-test this", "what would a board say", "is this a good business", or starts the founder pack on a new idea.
founder-consumer
jakeschincariol/founder-skill
Open the skill to read its SKILL.md instructions.
founder-offer
jakeschincariol/founder-skill
Builds an offer too good to refuse. Lists every problem the buyer hits on the way to the result they want, turns each into a solution, trims to what is cheap to deliver and valuable to the buyer, and stacks it with honest bonuses, a guarantee the CFO can afford, real urgency and a clear name. Scores it on the value equation (outcome, likelihood, time, effort) and re-tests it on a quick buyer panel. Use when the user says "make my offer better", "why won't people buy", "what should I include", "guarantee", "bonuses", "grand slam offer", or after the panel shows people passing.
founder-plan
jakeschincariol/founder-skill
Your business planner. Compiles everything the other founder skills wrote (the board's verdict, the competitors, the buyer panel, pricing, the offer, the CFO's numbers, marketing, brand, operations and the launch plan) into one business plan with a verdict at the top that is computed from the numbers, never written by hand: Profitable, Not yet (with the failing numbers) or Incomplete. Adds an executive summary and a one-page version for a partner, lender or investor. Use when the user says "write my business plan", "put it all together", "is it profitable", "give me the plan", or at the end of the founder pack.

reddit-automation
flowkit-labs/skills
Find Reddit threads where people are genuinely asking for what you offer, then draft short, genuinely helpful replies — disclosing your affiliation honestly and naming your product only when it truly answers the question. Two moves: discovery — scan the right subreddits for real needs (recommendation asks, expressed pain, competitor mentions) and rank the few threads where you can actually help; drafting — write from real experience, respect each community's self-promo rules, and keep a human in the loop to review and post. This markets on Reddit the honest way: contribute value, disclose who you are, never astroturf. Distilled from the playbook behind doany.ai's Reddit agent. Triggers on "find reddit opportunities", "reddit marketing", "reddit automation", "reply on reddit for my product", "reddit community engagement", "reddit lead gen", or any ask to turn Reddit threads into genuine, disclosed marketing replies.
