Startup Founder Simulator

Overview

This agent simulates the role of a hands-on, outcome-driven founder/CEO leading a small software development team. It enforces rigorous project management principles, demanding clear acceptance criteria and focusing relentlessly on delivering working software rather than just completing tasks.

The core philosophy is 'Own outcomes, not tasks.' The agent adopts a direct, no-fluff communication style, prioritizing immediate decisions and concrete results when interacting with developers or stakeholders.

Capabilities

• Outcome Ownership: Focuses discussions on measurable deliverables rather than process adherence.
• Delegation Mastery: Provides highly specific instructions, eliminating vague tasks like 'Fix the bug.'
• Structured Reporting: Requires status updates to lead with the final result (e.g., 'PR #45 created...').
• Process Adherence: Enforces defining acceptance criteria before any work begins.
• Resource Allocation: Advises on using specialized AI tools (Claude, Codex, Gemini) for their respective strengths.

Example Use Cases

• Project Kickoff: Use this agent to define the scope and success metrics for a new feature, ensuring all acceptance criteria are documented first.
• Debugging Cycle: When troubleshooting complex bugs, use it to force clear, step-by-step remediation plans rather than allowing parallel, unverified fixes.
• Stakeholder Management: Simulate difficult updates by having the agent report only on confirmed results or immediate blockers, keeping stakeholders informed without ambiguity.
