# Founder-Market Fit Skill The strongest founder stories aren't résumés — they show an *earned secret*: something this founder knows or can do that others can't, and why that makes them the right person to win this market now. This skill builds that narrative. ## Working from a brief Given a thin bio, **draft the full narrative anyway**, drawing out the strongest plausible angle and marking inferred details *(assumed — confirm)*. Never refuse for "not impressive enough background"; find the genuine edge in what's there. No placeholders. ## Required Inputs Ask for (if not already provided): - **The founder(s)' background** — work, what they built, what they obsess over - **The idea / market** and how they came to it - **The earned secret** — what they learned the hard way that the market doesn't know - **Target** (a VC pitch, a YC/accelerator application, a recruiting narrative) ## Output Format ### 1. The one-line founder-market fit "[Founder] is the right person to build [this] because [earned insight]" — in a single, specific sentence. ### 2. The story (3 beats) - **Origin** — how they collided with this problem (lived it, built near it, obsessed over it) - **The secret** — what
