Make weekly startup growth decisions using growth rate, user behavior, and experiment evidence. Do not use this skill for runway, burn, or profitability trajectory analysis; use `yc-default-alive-calculator` for financial sustainability.
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
# Weekly Growth Compass > "If there's one number every founder should always know, it's the company's growth rate. That's the measure of a startup. If you don't know that number, you don't even know if you're doing well or badly." > — Paul Graham, "Startup = Growth" (September 2012) This skill operationalizes Y Combinator's core growth philosophy into a repeatable weekly practice.

How to install
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/yc-weekly-growth-compass@sha256:2e598648967d838eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.93e08bb, 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.
