Open-source GTM skills for technical founders
556 followers
Most AI hands dev-tool founders the same generic sales and marketing advice. The GTM Co-Founder doesn't. It's a set of open-source skills that interview you once, learn your real product and market, then walk you move by move through a prioritised GTM roadmap: who it's for, positioning, your first 50 users, launch, pricing, etc. Grounded in the playbooks of Adam Frankl and Jakub Czakon, plus my own time as a Founding AE and GTM advisor. Free and open source.

@fmerian Thanks so much for hunting it, @fmerian. Appreciate the support, means a lot coming from you.
The “first 50 users” skill sounds especially useful if it forces the founder to get specific about the trigger, not just the persona.
I learned this the slow way with a small WordPress site: “people interested in X” was too broad to act on, but “someone just hit this problem this week and is already searching or asking about it” gave me much clearer places to look. For technical founders, that distinction turns GTM from generic advice into a concrete daily search habit.

@grace_lee26 Thank you Grace. Exactly right, and that's the whole design of it. Persona tells you who, the trigger tells you when they'll actually move. Most founders stop at "developers who care about X" and never get to "the moment they go looking," which is where the first 50 actually come from. You nailed the reason that skill exists.
Really like the idea of treating GTM as a set of reusable skills instead of another generic AI chat. Curious how you keep context consistent across positioning, pricing, and launch so the recommendations don’t start contradicting each other over time?

@alpertayfurr Hey Alper. Great question, as this is something I got feedback on very early on. Everything reads from one file first: a founder-brief the agent writes with you up front. Positioning, pricing, and launch all reason from that same set of facts, so they can't quietly drift apart. And every fact is tagged either validated or assumption, so when something changes you update it in one place and the rest follows. Would love for you to play around with it and get your feedback! Thanks.
@gtmnerd That’s a smart way to solve it. I especially like the validated vs assumption tagging, because that makes the context much easier to update without breaking everything downstream. I’ll definitely play around with it and share feedback.
The forum thread's line about everyone telling you it looks amazing while nobody says the real thing is the part that landed for me. Shipped an app, ran the SEO myself, and the metric that actually moved wasn't more content, it was fixing positioning enough that people had a reason to link to it at all. Is there a skill in here for that specific gap, going from "nobody links to generic content" to something worth linking, or is the roadmap mostly pre-launch positioning?
The GTM Co-Founder
@abdullah_javaid3 Yes and no. There's a founder-led-content skill, but it's the strategy half: it gets you from generic to link-worthy by teaching the problem space instead of announcing features, which is what actually earns the link. What it deliberately isn't is SEO or link-building tactics, those aren't in here. So it makes the content worth linking to; the distribution mechanics are still on you. Would love to get more of your feedback if you had a chance to play around with it!

@michael_vavilov Honestly I'm not betting on Claude Skills specifically. Underneath, these are just markdown playbooks, and an agent reaching for the right one when it's relevant already works in Cursor, Codex, and Windsurf, and you can paste any of them into a plain chat with zero setup. So the dependency is lower than it looks. Whether "skill as a product" becomes a real category, too early for me to claim. But the underlying need, structured expertise an agent can actually invoke, feels durable. Time will tell.

@rnagulapalle Two kinds, and I handle them differently. Internal drift: the founder-brief is a living doc, not a one-time form. When you learn something real from a user, you flip that line from "assumption" to "validated," so it sharpens over time instead of rotting. External drift: there's a market-scan skill that re-checks your competitors and category on a cadence and updates the brief with what changed. Still early though, so I'd genuinely love to hear where you've seen drift bite hardest or any more feedback in general. Thanks dude.
this is really really great. any chance we can connect it with chatgpt as well?
The GTM Co-Founder
@malav_rohit Thanks Malav, really glad it landed! Yes, it works in ChatGPT. Open any skill, paste the text in, tell it about your product, and it'll interview you one question at a time and walk you through step by step, same as it does in Claude.
Two honest notes so it goes smoothly. First, that npx skills add command is for local agents like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex that read files off your machine, so it won't wire into the ChatGPT web app. Just copy-paste the skill instead. Second, keep it to one chat, or load the skills into a Project. Claude Code and Cursor save your brief to a file that every skill reads back, which is what keeps positioning, pricing, and launch consistent over time. In ChatGPT you get that same continuity by staying in one thread.
