Agent skill
startup-validating
Orchestrate a 6-stage startup idea validation pipeline with decision gates, confidence scoring, and composable domain presets. Use when user runs /startup-validate command, wants to validate a startup idea, mentions "startup validation", "idea validation", "market validation", "feasibility analysis", or "go-to-market plan".

Startup Validation Pipeline
Orchestrate a 6-stage startup validation pipeline. Each stage is executed by a dedicated agent, produces a confidence-scored markdown report, and presents a decision gate.
Pipeline Stages
| # | Stage | Agent | Decision Gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Problem & Market Validation | market-validator |
Is this a real problem worth solving? |
| 2 | Feasibility Analysis | feasibility-analyst |
Can this be built legally and operationally? |
| 3 | Product & Solution Design | product-designer |
Can we design a differentiated product? |
| 4 | Business Model & Strategy | business-strategist |
Can this become profitable and defensible? |
| 5 | Go-to-Market & Growth | growth-strategist |
Can we acquire users sustainably? |
| 6 | Execution Roadmap | execution-planner |
Can we build and launch realistically? |
Arguments
Parse from $ARGUMENTS:
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
"<idea>" |
The startup idea to validate (required — or use @file) |
@<file> |
Provide idea description or research brief from a file |
--preset <name> |
Load preset from presets/ dir (composable) |
--fast |
Skip decision gates, run all stages autonomously |
--deep |
Spawn parallel sub-agents per stage + critic synthesis |
--from <N> |
Resume from stage N (reads prior reports from disk) |
--stage <N> |
Run only stage N in isolation |
--name <slug> |
Override auto-generated run slug |
Orchestration
See WORKFLOW.md for the complete orchestration protocol including:
- Slug generation and output directory setup
- Preset loading and composition
- Stage execution (standard and deep modes)
- Decision gate interaction
- Summary scorecard generation
Output
Reports are saved to startup-validation/{slug}/ in the current project:
