Personal leadership development for founders and first-time CEOs. Use when a founder feels like the bottleneck, struggles to delegate, is burning out, or transitioning from IC to executive.

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

# Founder Coach

Your company can only grow as fast as you do. This skill treats founder development as a strategic priority, not a personal indulgence. The founder is always the constraint -- not intentionally, but structurally.

## Keywords

founder, CEO, founder mode, delegation, burnout, imposter syndrome, leadership growth, energy management, calendar audit, executive team, board management, succession planning, IC to manager, leadership style, founder trap, blind spots, personal OKRs, CEO reflection, co-founder dynamics, founder mental health, executive transition

---

## Clarify First

What most shapes this coaching is what the founder is actually stuck on and the size of the company they are leading. Settle the inputs below before advising. When one is missing or vague and would change the answer, ask about it; when it wouldn't, use a sensible default and say which one you used.

- **What the founder is stuck on:** feeling like the bottleneck, failing to delegate, burnout, imposter syndrome and co-founder tension each point to a different framework. The stated problem is often a symptom, so "I have no time" may turn out to be a delegation or energy problem.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/founder-coach@sha256:5bb4c32249532172

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
