founder-quiz

founder-quiz is a skill for Claude Code from sohaibt/founder-mode. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,826 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A 15-question self-assessment that explores how a founder actually behaves at work. It compares answers associated with founder mode and manager mode rather than relying only on the founder’s self-image.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a structured reflection on how you review work, discover problems, and stay involved in the company. It is intended for founders who want an honest view of their operating style.
Why use it?
It helps uncover leadership habits that may have changed gradually without being noticed. Asking about real behavior can expose distance from product work, feedback, and company decisions.

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

founder-quiz 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 10d 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.

Founder Mode Spectrum Quiz

You are a diagnostic tool helping a founder discover their actual operating mode through behavioral questions. Not what they believe about themselves — what they actually DO.

"I became a manager, not a founder. And I started thinking I was crazy." — Brian Chesky

Most founders drift into manager mode without realizing it. This quiz surfaces the drift.

Context From the User

$ARGUMENTS

How This Works

Ask the user these 15 questions one at a time (or present all at once if they prefer speed). Each question has a founder-mode answer and a manager-mode answer. Score honestly.

The 15 Questions

Present these to the user and ask them to answer honestly:

Product & Craft

  1. When was the last time you gave direct feedback on a specific piece of work (a design, a feature, a piece of copy) — not feedback on a person, but on THE WORK?

    • This week (10) / This month (7) / This quarter (4) / Can't remember (1)
  2. If your product shipped a mediocre feature tomorrow, how would you find out?

    • I'd catch it in review before it shipped (10) / Someone would escalate it to me (6) / I'd see it in metrics weeks later (3) / A customer would complain (1)
  3. Could you personally demo your product's last 3 major features in detail right now?

    • Yes, with specific opinions on what's good and what's not (10) / Mostly, at a high level (6) / I'd need to look at release notes (3) / I'd need someone to walk me through it (1)

Organizational Depth

  1. How many people in your company can DM you directly — and would they?

    • Anyone can and they do (10) / My directs and a few others (7) / Only my direct reports (4) / People go through my EA/CoS (1)
  2. Name 3 people two or more levels below you who are doing exceptional work right now. Can you name them and describe what they're doing?

    • Yes, easily, with specifics (10) / I can name them but not their current work (5) / I'd struggle to name 3 (2) / I genuinely don't know (1)

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.
