The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 8ead61b

Pressure-tested an 'open-source Figma-to-React CLI' idea: a real web search (done because the skill mandates verifying market claims live, not from memory) surfaced an already-dominant free OSS incumbent (FigmaToCode, multi-framework) plus Figma's own Figma Make, flipping my generic baseline 'worth trying' into a named, evidence-cited 不建议做/转向 with a concrete pivot. Worth flagging: it defaults to Chinese output per its own instructions even when the user writes in English, and its primary external-search path (Grok search MCP) isn't installed here — it fell back to ordinary web search exactly as its own fallback text specifies.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What AI Founder Playbook does

AI Founder Playbook is a Claude Code skill acting as a blunt startup/open-source advisor: it forces a goal-type diagnosis (commercial vs OSS-influence vs hybrid), runs a structured fatal-flaws pressure test, scans real competitors/community signals via web search, and drafts non-AI-sounding launch posts for HN/Reddit/GitHub/Product Hunt/X/LinkedIn. Trigger it when the user asks whether an idea can work, wants a brutal pressure test, needs competitor scans, or wants launch/distribution drafts.
