Agent skill
1 skill

Most startup ideas are bad. Not because founders lack creativity, but because they're solving invented problems instead of lived ones. Paul Graham's essays reveal a pattern: the best ideas come from living in the future and noticing what's missing. Schlep blindness hides gold. Organic ideas beat brainstormed ones. Frighteningly ambitious ideas are often easier. This skill synthesizes PG's idea-finding wisdom into actionable guidance. Use when "keywords, contexts, " mentioned.
