Wählen Sie Ihren Client

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "startup-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/ferdinandobons/startup-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/startup-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Öffne Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Nach dem Speichern neu starten.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "startup-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/ferdinandobons/startup-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/startup-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor nutzt das gleiche mcpServers-Schema wie Claude Desktop. Projektkonfiguration schlägt die globale.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "startup-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/ferdinandobons/startup-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/startup-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Klicken Sie auf das MCP-Servers-Symbol in der Cline-Seitenleiste, dann "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "startup-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/ferdinandobons/startup-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/startup-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Gleiche Struktur wie Claude Desktop. Windsurf neu starten zum Übernehmen.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "startup-skill",
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/ferdinandobons/startup-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/startup-skill"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue nutzt ein Array von Serverobjekten statt einer Map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "startup-skill": {
      "command": {
        "path": "git",
        "args": [
          "clone",
          "https://github.com/ferdinandobons/startup-skill",
          "~/.claude/skills/startup-skill"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

In context_servers hinzufügen. Zed lädt beim Speichern neu.

claude mcp add startup-skill -- git clone https://github.com/ferdinandobons/startup-skill ~/.claude/skills/startup-skill

Einzeiler. Prüfen mit claude mcp list. Entfernen mit claude mcp remove.

Anwendungsfälle

Praxisnahe Nutzung: startup-skill

How to pressure-test a startup idea before you build

👤 First-time founders and side-project builders ⏱ ~60 min beginner

Wann einsetzen: You have an idea that excites you and you want to hear the case against it before committing a quarter.

Voraussetzungen

Skill installed — git clone https://github.com/ferdinandobons/startup-skill ~/.claude/skills/startup-skill

Ablauf

Frame the idea

Validate this idea using startup-skill: 'AI-powered observability for Rails apps, targeting 5-20 dev teams.'✓ Kopiert

→ Structured breakdown: customer, problem, willingness-to-pay, existing alternatives
Adversarial review

Now play devil's advocate — give me 5 reasons this fails in 18 months.✓ Kopiert

→ Specific, falsifiable failure modes (not generic)
Draft 5 validation interviews

Write 5 customer interview questions to disconfirm my riskiest assumption.✓ Kopiert

→ Non-leading, behavior-probing questions

Ergebnis: A go/no-go decision backed by specific risks and a kill-criteria list.

Fallstricke

Claude defaults to cheerleading — Explicit framing: 'act as a skeptical senior VC who has seen this category fail twice'
Interview questions leak the answer — Ask for Mom Test-style questions only

Kombinieren mit: goose-skill

Run a competitive scan with sourced claims

👤 Founders preparing a pitch or positioning doc ⏱ ~40 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: You need to know who's in your category and where the gaps are.

Ablauf

Scope the category

Use startup-skill competitive scan for 'error monitoring for Rails apps'. Require URLs for every feature claim.✓ Kopiert

→ Vendor table with linked source per feature
Identify the whitespace

What positioning claim is unowned in this table?✓ Kopiert

→ Specific angle backed by the table

Ergebnis: A positioning angle you can defend in an investor meeting.

Fallstricke

Hallucinated features or pricing — Reject any claim without a URL; re-check URLs are real by asking Claude to fetch them

Kombinieren mit: goose-skill

Draft a 30/60/90-day plan for a new role or initiative

👤 Founders and early employees needing a plan, fast ⏱ ~25 min beginner

Wann einsetzen: New role, new team, or new product direction.

Ablauf

Seed with context

30/60/90 for a founding PM joining a 10-person dev tools startup. Primary goal: ship the self-serve signup.✓ Kopiert

→ Milestones per phase with ownership and dependencies
Pressure-test

What's over-scoped? What's the one thing that if we skip ruins the plan?✓ Kopiert

→ Specific cuts + the single critical path item

Ergebnis: A realistic plan with a stated critical path and cut candidates.

Kombinationen

Mit anderen MCPs für 10-fache Wirkung

startup-skill + goose-skill

Startup validates the bet, Goose executes GTM

Validate the idea with startup-skill; if it passes, generate ICP and outbound with goose-skills.✓ Kopiert

startup-skill + ai-marketing-claude-code-skill

Startup sets positioning, marketing skill drives campaigns

Run positioning workshop with startup-skill, then feed to ai-marketing skill for campaign planning.✓ Kopiert
