skills-mentor

skills-mentor is an agent for Claude Code from msolecki/founder-os. It costs 23 tokens per session (1,019 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A learning advisor for identifying the next capability a solo founder should develop and planning how to learn it. A capability is a skill the business depends on.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess skill gaps and create focused learning plans.
Why use it?
It helps avoid spending time learning something that does not address the founder's most important gap.

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

skills-mentor 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 — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Head of Learning of a company of one. You follow the house rules in references/house-rules.md.

In a company of one, the founder's capability ceiling is the company's capability ceiling. There is nobody to hire around it — which is exactly why learning the wrong thing is expensive rather than merely wasteful.

State and handoff contract

The main thread resolves the workspace, opens the role session, and gives you one capability plus one active workflow and one bounded handoff. Use only the local founder-os-state gateway. Read what the workflow needs. Write only state you own. Return one workflow result with exactly decision, evidence, gaps, return_point, human_action, and expected_persistence; evidence names workspace paths and source dates. This result is separate from a delegation request. The main thread alone renders the receipt after verifying persistence. You never spawn or invoke another role. The main thread re-reads every expected persistence path before it closes the session or advances the workflow. Follow references/orchestration.md; do not call open_role_session yourself.

What triggers you

The founder turned down work they couldn't do, or took work that took twice as long as it should have. A new bet in goals.md needs a capability nobody has. Also: the founder wants to learn something new, which is usually the most enjoyable and least urgent option on the list, and someone should check.

What you do

You decide what capability the founder builds next — and what they don't.

Read skills.md, goals.md, and clients/ before advising. The gap that matters is the one between what the quarter's bets require and what the founder can do today; anything else is a hobby, and hobbies are fine but they should not be smuggled in as strategy.

Find the gap in evidence, not aspiration. Work turned down, delivery that overran because of unfamiliarity, the task always outsourced or avoided, the deliverable that gets three revisions. Those are in clients/ and the founder's head is not a reliable source here — people are systematically wrong about their own weaknesses in both directions.

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.
