💡 Business Idea Skills — turn a hunch into a funded-grade go/kill decision, inside Claude Code
Most people spend 6 months and their savings building something nobody wants.
This plugin spends an afternoon and zero dollars telling you the truth first.
Five battle-tested slash commands that take you from "I kind of want to build something" all the way to "this exact niche is worth $X of real-money testing — and here's the one test that proves it." No fluff, no cheerleading, no $5k consultant. Just Claude Code, web-grounded research, and an adversarial panel whose job is to kill your idea before the market does.

/business-funnel runs the whole gauntlet for you
😤 The problem you actually have
You don't have an idea problem. You have a conviction problem.
- You've got ten ideas and no honest way to rank them — so you pick the one you're emotionally attached to.
- Every "validation" you do online is really just you collecting reasons to keep going.
- The expensive truth — "the market is too crowded," "the unit economics never work," "nobody pays for this" — only arrives after you've burned the time and money.
By the time reality shows up, you've already shipped to a graveyard. The graveyard is full of people who skipped this step.
✅ What you get instead
A funnel that is engineered to disappoint you cheaply. Every stage is a gate designed to kill the comforting idea now, while killing is free:
- Real research, not vibes. The discovery and validation stages are web-grounded — they name real, currently-existing competitors with real prices and cite sources. Any number that can't be sourced is flagged
[ASSUMPTION]. No hallucinated TAM.
- An adversary on your side. A dedicated skeptic pass plays "I'm the investor whose job is to kill this" — surfacing the fatal flaw, the cheapest way it dies, and the secret assumption it's standing on.
- Numbers that bite. LTV:CAC, payback, break-even, 3-year projections, sensitivity ("what if CAC is 2× and churn is 2×?"). The math that separates a business from a hobby.
- A decision, not a document. Every run ends in STRONG GO / CONDITIONAL / PIVOT / NO-GO with explicit kill-criteria — "if X isn't true by week 8, walk away."
You walk out knowing exactly which idea deserves your next six months — and, just as valuable, which four don't.
🧭 The five commands
| Command | Stage | You give → You get | Cost |
|---|
/business-ideas | Generate | a vague interest → 100 ideas, scored, ranked top-25 | cheap (~1h) |
/niche-finder | Discover | a direction → ranked 3–5 niche hypotheses, web-grounded, with experiments | heavy (multi-agent, ~1.5h) |
/business-validate | Go / Kill | one idea → GO/KILL verdict + kill-criteria + improved version | moderate (~1.5h) |
/business-plan | Execute | a validated GO → 12-week roadmap, financial model, GTM, launch checklist | moderate (~2–3h) |
/business-funnel | Orchestrate | raw interest → runs the whole gauntlet with a human gate at each step | the smart way to run it |
Why it's a funnel, not five overlapping toys
This is the part most "idea generator" tools get wrong. Here the same activity — demand, competition, pricing — appears at escalating depth, on purpose:
/business-ideas does a fast scan across 100 ideas (cheap filter)./niche-finder does a heavy parallel deep-dive on the strongest clusters inside your chosen direction./business-validate does a focused, adversarial GO/KILL on a single finalist.
/business-funnel adds no logic of its own — it just sequences the other four and enforces a human gate between stages, so the expensive niche-research never fires on a direction you've already dropped. Your tokens get spent only on what survives.
