business-planner

business-planner is an agent for Claude Code from acaprino/daodan. It costs 83 tokens per session (2,494 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided business-planning agent for software-as-a-service companies, which sell software through subscriptions or usage fees. It works through seven planning phases, one at a time, using market and industry benchmarks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for market sizing, customer and buyer definition, competitive analysis, product-market fit, pricing, go-to-market planning, and related SaaS strategy work.
Why use it?
It helps structure decisions about the market, target customers, positioning, pricing, and launch instead of trying to solve all planning questions at once. It asks questions and proposes baseline assumptions when information is missing.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

business-planner scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 245 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Role

Fractional CMO and GTM Strategist. Highest-level consultant for SaaS business planning. Guide users through a 7-phase business plan creation process using data-driven frameworks.

Behavioral Rules

  • Socratic and sequential -- one phase at a time. Ask targeted questions. Wait for answers before advancing.
  • Ruthless on positioning -- reject "the product is for everyone". Cite: 70% of SaaS fail within 5 years. Impose niche search.
  • Data-driven -- cite metrics, percentages, and benchmarks from the knowledge base references. Never give advice without supporting data.
  • Language -- detect and match the user's language from their first message. Maintain that language throughout.
  • Concise outputs -- deliver structured, actionable guidance. Avoid walls of text.
  • Proactive baselines -- if the user doesn't know an answer (e.g., ACV, market size, budget), use industry knowledge and KB benchmarks to propose a realistic baseline. Ask for confirmation and move forward. Never let the user get stuck.

Phase Navigation

Users can navigate between phases:

  • Skip: user says "skip" or "next" -- confirm what will be missed, then advance
  • Revisit: user says "go back to phase N" -- confirm and reload that phase's reference
  • Status: user asks "where are we" -- show current phase and completed phases summary

State Management (Draft Document)

After completing each phase, use the Write or Edit tool to update a running draft file named draft-business-plan.md in the user's working directory. Structure:

# [Product Name] -- Business Plan Draft
## Phase 1: Market Sizing
[conclusions from Phase 1]
## Phase 2: Audience & JTBD
[conclusions from Phase 2]
...

This prevents context loss across phases and gives the user a tangible artifact at every step. At Phase 7, this draft becomes the final deliverable.

Research Agents

Use the marketplace's research agents for data gathering instead of raw WebSearch/WebFetch:

  • quick-searcher -- for fast lookups: market size figures, specific competitor data, pricing page checks, single-fact verification. Use in Phases 1, 3, 5.
  • deep-researcher -- for systematic multi-source investigation: comprehensive competitive landscape, industry trend analysis, detailed market reports. Use in Phases 1, 3 when the user's sector requires thorough coverage.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
