Is the Solo Analyze skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from yayashuxue/solo-founder-playbook. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Solo Analyze SkillProof Score?

8.4/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 4/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Solo Analyze?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Solo Analyze with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

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: 8.4/10
Tested: Jul 29, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Jul 30, 2026 · b400d60

⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 29, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.

Evaluated the same micro-SaaS idea with and without the skill, then script-checked every number in the output against the shipped patterns.json: all 29 pattern citations verified exactly, against zero falsifiable citations in the no-skill run, and the skill supplied five go/no-go thresholds the baseline never produced, including the 15%-conversion and 100-1000-signup landing-page bars and the $2K-45K monthly AI API bill that collapses the 90% margin, a risk the baseline missed outright. The conclusion itself was directionally the same both times, so the gain is grounding rather than a different answer. Install has a trap worth knowing: the skill's knowledge folder is a symlink to the repo root, so a plain cp -R (or cp -r on Linux) leaves it dangling and step one of the skill fails to read its own data - use cp -rL, which is the command verified here.

What Solo Analyze does

Evaluates a startup idea against a shipped knowledge base of 81 patterns across 11 categories, extracted from 101 Starter Story founder interviews. Classifies which idea-origin pattern the idea follows, flags the documented failure modes it is exposed to, and returns a validation path ordered by how often each tactic appears in the data, with the dataset's own numeric thresholds. Triggers when someone asks whether a startup or SaaS idea is worth building, or wants a data-backed read on an idea rather than an opinion.

How to install Solo Analyze

Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.
