Skill Overview
--- name: business-plan description: Write, structure, and update a business plan for a solopreneur. Use when creating a plan from scratch, updating an existing plan after a pivot or new phase, or preparing a plan to share with investors, partners, or even just to clarify your own strategy. Covers executive summary, market analysis, competitive positioning, revenue model, operations plan, financial projections, and risk assessment — all adapted for a one-person business. Trigger on "write a business plan", "business plan", "create my plan", "business plan template", "update my business plan", "plan for my business", "investor pitch plan". --- # Business Plan ## Overview A business plan is not a static document you write once and file away. For solopreneurs, it is a living strategy document — a forcing function that makes you think clearly about your business and a reference you update as reality proves or disproves your assumptions. This playbook builds it section by section, in the order that makes each section easier to write because the previous one is already done. --- ## Section 1: Executive Summary (Write This LAST) Even though it appears first, write this after everything else is done. It is a 1-page distillation of the entire plan. **Include exactly these five elements:** 1. What the business does (one sentence) 2. The problem it solves and for whom (two sentences max) 3. The solution and why it's different (two sentences) 4. The market opportunity (one sentence with a number — market size) 5. What you need / what you're asking for (one sentence — funding amount, partnership, or simply your own plan of action) **Rule:** If someone reads only the executive summary, they should understand the entire business. If they want details, the rest of the plan delivers them. --- ## Section 2: Company Overview Brief, factual, no fluff. - Business name and legal structure (sole proprietorship, LLC, etc. — or planned structure) - What stage you're at: Idea / Pr

Structures a business plan for solo founders
This skill walks through writing and maintaining a business plan for a one-person business, section by section, in an order chosen so each part is easier to write once the previous one exists. It covers the executive summary, company overview, market analysis, competitive positioning, revenue model, operations, financial projections, and risk, and it treats the plan as a living document to be updated after a pivot or a new phase rather than filed away. Two limits are worth stating. It is a structuring and drafting aid with no market data of its own, so every number comes from the user. A written plan is also not evidence that a business works, so it should not be mistaken for validation.

Writing a plan as a set of ordered sections
This playbook builds a business plan section by section in an order where each piece makes the next one easier to write. It is written for a one person business, so the market, operations and financial sections are sized for a founder rather than a department. ## What it does - Starts from an executive summary that is written last despite appearing first. - Covers the company overview, the market analysis and the competitive positioning. - Lays out the revenue model and the operations plan. - Adds financial projections and a risk assessment. - Adapts every section to a business with a single person behind it. ## When it is the wrong choice It is a structure and a set of prompts rather than a data source, so every number in it comes from you and nothing is verified for you. The financial side is a narrative treatment of projections, not a spreadsheet engine, so a plan that needs real modelling has to leave this document for a modelling tool and come back with the results. The single founder framing is deliberate and shows up most clearly in the operations section, where a plan with several people will not fit the shape. Most importantly, the plan is meant to be revised as reality proves or disproves assumptions, so treating it as a document written once defeats the point of doing it. ```json { "executive_summary": [ "what the business does", "the problem and who has it", "the solution and why it differs", "the market opportunity with a number", "what is being asked for" ] } ``` ## Working notes - The summary is a one page distillation of the whole plan and is written after everything else. - A reader who sees only the summary should understand the entire business. - Each section is easier to write because the previous one is already settled.
