    Example session with this skill installed

    I'm the CEO of a 25-person startup. I feel like I'm in every meeting and tasks are stalling when they reach my desk. Help me audit my delegation and identify my bottleneck.

    I have analyzed your current bottleneck as a transition gap from "Operator" to "Architect." At 25 employees, your primary risk is the "Hero-Founder Trap" where you remain the single point of failure for operational decisions.

    Immediate Operating Plan

    The 70% Rule: Identify three recurring tasks you perform at 80% quality that a team member can do at 70% quality. Hand them off by Friday.
    2.

    Zone of Genius Audit: Categorize your last 20 meetings into Energy Draining vs. Energy Giving. Delegate 50% of the Draining list.
    3. Communication Sync: Replace three 1:1 status updates with a shared async dashboard to reduce meeting overhead.

    Next steps

    • Audit your calendar for the last 14 days and flag every meeting where you were not the primary decision-maker.
    • Define your "Zone of Genius" and share it with your direct reports to reset expectations on your involvement.
    • Set up a recurring 30-minute "Founder Growth" block to review system-level bottlenecks rather than task-level fires.

    About this skill

    The problem

    Founders often become the primary bottleneck as their startups scale, struggling to transition from hands-on operators to organizational architects. Generic management advice fails to address the unique pressures of founder-led growth, burnout risks, and co-founder dynamics.

    What it does

    • Diagnoses founder bottlenecks by analyzing company stage, headcount, and leadership patterns.
    • Generates structured delegation ladders and calendar audits to reclaim founder capacity.
    • Screens for burnout signals and leadership blind spots using established archetype lenses.
    • Develops transition plans for scaling executive teams and managing board relationships.
    • Creates actionable 360 feedback protocols and founder development roadmaps.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    General LLM prompts often result in vague motivational fluff or generic HR advice. This skill applies specific diagnostic lenses like the Delegation Ladder and Founder Archetypes to deliver structured operating plans with clear owners, cadences, and success indicators.

    Use cases

    • Transitioning a founder from "doing every task" to "leading through systems" during Series A scaling.
    • Resolving co-founder tension by defining clear zones of genius and decision rights.
    • Conducting a CEO energy audit to prevent burnout during intensive fundraising or pivoting.
    • Preparing a first-time CEO for their first formal Board of Directors meeting.

    Known limitations

    Does not provide clinical mental health therapy, legal advice, or cap table modeling. Requires user-provided context on team size and company stage for high-accuracy diagnostics.
