Magnus Hedemark 738ec715e7 Add human-focused README.md to every skill and bundle directory
Each README is written for a human audience, explaining:
- What the skill does (not what format it follows)
- What benefit the user gets from installing it
- Quick setup and usage patterns
- When to load/trigger the skill
- What scripts, references, and templates it ships

data-scientist already had a README — left unchanged.

48 READMEs added across all skill and bundle directories.

# Weekly Growth Compass — YC's Startup = Growth Framework
Paul Graham's "Startup = Growth" framework as an operational weekly practice. Computes growth rates, benchmarks against YC tiers, and frames every decision through the growth compass.
## Why Install This Skill
When your agent loads this skill, it can **make growth the compass for every startup decision**. That means:
- **Compute weekly growth rates** — single period or time-series data
- **Benchmark against YC tiers** — 1% concerning, 5-7% good, 10%+ exceptional
- **Project compound growth** — see where you'll be in a year at current trajectory
- **Frame decisions** — "does this serve your target growth rate?" for every initiative
- **Estimate doubling time** — how long to 2x, 10x, 100x at current growth
## What You Get
| Directory | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|
| `SKILL.md` | Framework explanation, YC benchmarks, full script usage |
| `scripts/growth-compass.py` | Deterministic CLI calculator — Python 3.9+ with zero external dependencies |
## Quick Start

python3 scripts/growth-compass.py --series "1000,1050,1100,1150,1200"
```
## Triggers
Load this when founders ask about growth rate, weekly growth, startup traction, metrics, or whether they're moving fast enough.
## Requirements
Python 3.9+ with standard library only (no external dependencies).
