Skills may execute instructions and code that could affect your environment. Marketplace scans reduce risk but do not guarantee safety. Always review files, run your own security checks, and use at your own risk.

I understand these skills can contain unsafe or unintended behavior, and I will review and security-scan before use. No warranty, suitability, or outcome is guaranteed.

# /cs:office-hours — Six-Question Founder Interrogation

**Command:** `/cs:office-hours <topic>`

Before any advice, the founder must answer six questions. Modeled on YC office hours: no analysis until the founder has done the thinking.

## When to Run

- Before starting any major initiative
- Before fundraising
- Before a strategic pivot
- When the founder is excited
- When the answer is "obvious"

## The Six Questions

Founder must answer **all six** in writing before any C-role weighs in.

### 1. Problem
**Whose problem is this, and how do they describe it in their own words?**
- Not your framing. Their words.
- If you can't quote a customer, you don't have a problem worth solving.

### 2. Customer
**Who is the ICP? Name one real person who would buy this today.**
- Real human. Real company. Real seat.
- If you can't name one, the ICP isn't ready.

### 3. Distribution
**How does the customer first hear your name?**
- Channel, intent, search query, friend, conference.
- If the answer is "we'll figure out marketing later," the answer is no.

### 4. Defensibility
**If this works, what stops a competitor from copying it in 6 months?**
- Network effects, switching costs, data moat, regulatory moat, brand.
- "We'll execute better" is not a defense.

### 5. Capital
**What does this cost, when does it pay back, and what's the alternative use of the money?**
- Total spend, payback months, opportunity cost.

### 6. Founder Fit
**Why are you the right person to do this — and why does this matter enough to spend the next 3 years on it?**
- Founder-market fit is the strongest predictor of survival.

## Output Format

After the founder answers all six:

```markdown
# Office Hours Brief: <topic>
**Founder:** <name>

## Answers
[Verbatim founder responses to all 6 questions]

---

**Assessment:**
- 🟢 GREEN — ship the brief to /cs:boardroom
- 🟡 YELLOW — sharpen Q[N] before proceeding
- 🔴 RED — kill or redefine; do not proceed
```

## Routing

- Single-role question → corresponding `/cs:{role}-review`
- Multi-role question → `/cs:brief` then `/cs:boardroom`
