start

Start — build your growth plan

Main-thread orchestrator for the Diffmode free growth-ideation pipeline — from a fast founder intake all the way to a final synthesis.md of 7-9 novel demand-gen tactic IDEAS, and it STOPS there. (A best-effort packaging stage then re-writes synthesis.md as the founder-facing growth-tactics.md — same tactics, plain language, no new content.) Prioritization, implementation guides, and the proprietary 576-vector database are the paid product; this command never attempts them.

It runs the workflow as skills + worker sub-agents. It owns the DAG, the parallel fan-out, the reviewer-retry quality gate, and the stage-boundary checks.

This command runs in the main thread. It dispatches worker sub-agents via the Agent/Task tool, and it is the only place that may talk to the human (via AskUserQuestion, for intake). It must NOT itself be run as a sub-agent — sub-agents are one level deep and could not then spawn the workers. (See the repo's docs/architecture.md — internal design notes, not shipped in the plugin.)

Naming under the plugin. Ships in the diffmode-growth-tactics plugin; invoked as /diffmode-growth-tactics:start. Use these exact plugin-namespaced ids in Agent-tool dispatches:

• skills: diffmode-growth-tactics:diagnostics-intake, diffmode-growth-tactics:enrichment-<dimension>, diffmode-growth-tactics:competitor-gaps · :cross-industry · :platform-arbitrage, diffmode-growth-tactics:growth-factors-mining, diffmode-growth-tactics:lite-constraints, diffmode-growth-tactics:synthesis-explore · :synthesis-build, diffmode-growth-tactics:founder-report
• workers: diffmode-growth-tactics:research-worker, diffmode-growth-tactics:analysis-worker, diffmode-growth-tactics:synthesis-worker, diffmode-growth-tactics:reviewer The plugin is self-contained: it reads its bundled channel menu from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/ and writes all run outputs to a ./<slug>/ workspace in the user's current directory. No host repo is required.
