name: one-week-founder-mode

description: "Compress an overloaded week of startup, research, job-search, creator, or side-project work into one main bet, up to two microbets, essential maintenance, and an explicit kill list. Use when the user has too many parallel ideas, keeps adding tasks, needs a founder-like weekly operating rhythm, or wants every week to end with real external proof instead of a long completed-task list."

# One Week Founder Mode

A full calendar is not the same as a useful week.

## Workflow

1. Dump every active commitment, idea, obligation, and dependency.

2. Separate fixed obligations from discretionary work.

3. Choose **one main bet**: the result that most changes the next decision if completed this week.

4. Allow at most **two microbets** with strict time caps.

5. Define maintenance: tasks that keep existing systems, relationships, health, or obligations from deteriorating.

6. Create a **kill list**: tempting tasks that are intentionally not done this week.

7. For the main bet, define:

- definition of done;

- evidence expected by Sunday;

- first irreversible dependency;

- one unblock action.

8. Plan by energy and dependency, not by filling every hour.

9. Midweek, review only three questions: Is the main bet still valid? What is blocked? What should be cut?

10. End the week by scoring evidence, learning, and continuation—not by task count.

## Output

Return:

- Main bet

- Two microbets max

- Maintenance

- Kill list

- Weekly sequence

- Midweek review

- Sunday evidence review

When everything is marked urgent, force ranking.
