Operator Skills
Open-source Claude Code skills for startup operators: coaching, email triage and prompt sharpening, plus /commit and /learn for teams.
01 · BLANK-PROMPT FRICTION: Re-explaining context every session (One-off email drafts · Generic coaching replies · Unstructured candidate skims)
02 · SKILL.md CARTRIDGES: sync-skills-public + sensitive-content-scanner
03 · OPEN-SOURCE OPERATOR KIT: Drop-in skills for triage, coaching & screening — Each skill encodes a repeatable workflow, quality bar, and failure modes in plain markdown.
A surprising share of recurring founder work — pressure-testing a plan, triaging an inbox, coaching yourself through a hard call, sharpening a prompt — fits into plain-markdown instruction files that Claude Code loads on demand. I wrote these for my own daily work running a startup and open-sourced the set for other operators; the radical-candor coaching skill alone replaced hours of solo “let me think through this” time.
At Recall the same pattern became a shared team repository (recall-skills): /commit for structured commits with a short reflection, and /learn for routing what a session discovered to the right docs, so what one person’s agent learned reached everyone’s. I also used the suite as the base for Operator Superpowers, an experiment in whether a five-agent AI executive team (a CEO plus marketing, sales, content and ops) could run a small real business while the founder focused on product.
