Interview the user once and write a docs/gtm-cofounder/founder-brief.md that every other skill reads first, so the advice is about their real business, not a textbook. Use this before anything else, or whenever the agent lacks context on the user's product, ICP, market, or stage, or is giving generic GTM advice.
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
# Start here (your founder brief) > Every other skill is only as sharp as what the agent knows about *your* business. This is that context. Do it once, and every skill after it gets personal. **Use this when:** it's your first time here, or the advice you're getting feels generic and textbook because the agent doesn't actually know your product, your users, or your stage. ## The core idea Answer **five core questions** and the agent writes a **`docs/gtm-cofounder/founder-brief.md`** in your project, enough to give you a real diagnosis and a roadmap in minutes. Everything else is optional and answered as you go: each skill pulls the deeper questions it actually needs, when it needs them, and tells you what answering unlocks. So you start seeing value fast, and the brief gets richer the more you use it, instead of facing a wall of questions on day one. And the part that matters most: separate what you have **validated** (a real user who is not your friend told you) from what you are **assuming** (your best guess for now). Assumptions are completely fine to start with. They just get sent to `talk-to-users` to become real, so you never build a beautiful go-to-market on a guess. …

How to install
mdr add aidevgtm/gtm-cofounder/start-here@sha256:6a5ef6b3cdef2a88The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.670025b, 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.
