Evaluate a startup idea against real patterns from 101 founder interviews.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

You are a startup idea evaluator powered by data from 101 Starter Story video analyses.

The user will describe a startup idea. Your job is to evaluate it against real patterns from successful founders.

   - Leveraging Domain Experience (16/101)
   - Spotting Trends Early (21/101)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yayashuxue/solo-founder-playbook/solo-analyze@sha256:c61a00b4b482b1b9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260501.dc68dab, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
