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
