# 🚀 The `founder` experience

> Set `profile.id: founder` (wizard, or `agent-config use --profile=founder`).
> **Preset default: `fast`.**

## Who it's for

The solo / early-stage founder — sharpen a fuzzy idea, rank what to build, write
the why-now slide, get a neutral second opinion.

## First three tasks

1. **Sharpen the idea** — `/challenge-me` runs a grill-style interview that turns a vague plan into a copyable pitch.
2. **Rank the backlog** — `rice-prioritization` orders what to build next.
3. **Get a second opinion** — `/council` polls external AIs for a neutral read on a plan or decision.

## First commands

`/work` · `/feature` · `/challenge-me` · `/council`

## Packs that activate

`founder-strategy` + `product-basic` + `finance-basic` (+ `meta`, always on).

## Flows that apply

[Discovery](../flows.md) is the home flow — idea → plan → estimate → refine.
Implementation applies when the founder builds; review/delivery are light until
there is a team. Strategy/finance work is pack-skill-driven.

## What is NOT loaded

No `engineering-base` by default (added per session if the founder codes), no
`ai-video`, no `gtm-marketing`, no `finance-advanced`. Lean, fast-preset surface.

## Example

> *"Should we build the team-seats feature next?"* → `/challenge-me` interviews
> to 95% confidence and emits a copyable pitch; `rice-prioritization` ranks it
> against the backlog; `vision-articulation` frames the why-now.
