Planning Business
Business planning skill that guides users through structured business model creation. Supports adaptive question depth based on user experience profile.
When to Use
- User wants to create or validate a business plan
- User needs a Lean Canvas for their product/startup
- User wants to refine an existing business model
Phases
Phase 1: Lean Canvas
Guides user through all 9 Lean Canvas blocks via AskUserQuestion prompts. Produces a structured one-page business model.
Workflow:
- Check for adaptive profile from EPIC-072:
- Read user profile for experience level (beginner/intermediate/advanced)
- If missing profile or no profile found, default to intermediate question depth
- Log warning for missing profile: "No adaptive profile found, defaulting to intermediate depth"
- Check for existing
devforgeai/specs/business/business-plan/lean-canvas.md:
- If exists: Enter iteration mode (read, present, modify)
- If not exists: Start fresh canvas workflow
- Walk through 9 blocks in order, adapting question depth per profile
- Write completed canvas to
devforgeai/specs/business/business-plan/lean-canvas.md
Adaptive Profile Fallback:
When no adaptive profile exists or the profile is absent, the skill defaults to intermediate question depth. A warning is logged indicating the missing profile so the user is aware adaptation is unavailable. The full 9-block workflow completes without error regardless of profile availability.
9 Lean Canvas Blocks (in order):
- Problem
- Customer Segments
- Unique Value Proposition
- Solution
- Channels
- Revenue Streams
- Cost Structure
- Key Metrics
- Unfair Advantage

User Interaction
All user interaction uses AskUserQuestion tool. No Bash-based prompts.
Error Handling
- Missing output directory: Create
devforgeai/specs/business/business-plan/ before writing
- Corrupted existing canvas: Offer fresh start or abort via AskUserQuestion
- Unknown experience level in profile: Fall back to intermediate
Success Criteria
- All 9 Lean Canvas blocks presented to user
- Output file written with user-provided content
- Adaptive depth applied based on profile (or fallback to intermediate)
- Existing canvas preserved during iteration mode
