What this skill does
/cs:office-hours — Six-Question Founder Interrogation Command: /cs:office-hours <topic> Before any advice, the founder must answer six questions. Modeled on YC office hours: no analysis until the founder has done the thinking. This is the cognitive forcing function that prevents drift into solutionism. When to Run Before starting any major initiative Before fundraising Before a strategic pivot When the founder is excited (excitement is a tell — pressure-test) When the answer is "obvious" (the obvious answer is usually wrong) The Six Questions The founder must answer all six in writing before any C-role weighs in. 1. Problem Whose problem is this, and how do they describe it in their own words? Not your framing. Their words. If you can't quote a customer, you don't have a problem worth solving. 2. Customer Who is the ICP? Name one real person who would buy this today. Real human. Real company. Real seat. If you can't name one, the ICP isn't ready. 3. Distribution How does the customer first hear your name? Channel, intent, search query, friend, conference — name it. If the answer is "we'll figure out marketing later," the answer is no. 4. Defensibility If this works, what stops a competitor from copying it in 6 months? Network effects, switching costs, data moat, regulatory moat, brand — pick one. "We'll execute better" is not a defense. 5. Capital What does this cost, when does it pay back, and what's the alternative use of the money? Total spend, payback months, opportunity cost. If you don't know, don't approve it. 6. Founder Fit Why are you the right person to do this — and why does this matter enough to spend the next 3 years on it? Founder-market fit is the strongest predictor of survival. If the answer is mercenary, the company will be too. …
