Main orchestrator for the a16z speedrun application. Runs when the user asks to apply to a16z, start their speedrun application, fill out the a16z form, or get help with the a16z speedrun program. Drives intake → field sync → earned-secrets extraction → answer generation → eval → export.

Scores drafted a16z speedrun application answers against a16z selection criteria. Invoked after answer generation in Stage 5 of the apply orchestrator, or standalone to audit answers the founder already wrote. Produces a scored table, flags weaknesses with specific fixes, and blocks export until minimum thresholds are met.

Activated when a founder asks to improve a specific application answer, or when /score identifies a field scoring below 3/5. Rewrites with annotated before/after and scores the revision.

Deep-dives to surface founder's non-obvious market insights. Invoked during Stage 3 of the apply orchestrator, or standalone when a founder says "I don't think I have a unique insight", "I'm not sure what makes us different", or "help me figure out what I actually know". Uses Socratic pressure + insight taxonomy to extract and name the real competitive moat.

Packages approved a16z speedrun application answers into submission-ready formats. Invoked after eval-answers confirms all fields pass threshold. Produces a Markdown review copy, a fill-ready plain-text file with field-by-field copy-paste blocks, and optionally a JSON record for version tracking.

Crafts the founder's pitch narrative and earned-secrets framing for the a16z speedrun application. Invoked when drafting the "why you, why now" story, the founder's unique insight, the video pitch script, or any narrative-heavy application fields. Runs a Socratic interview to surface the real story, then structures it into a16z-resonant framing.

Help founders write, draft, critique, and improve their Y Combinator application. Trigger on: YC, Y Combinator, applying to YC, YC application questions (50-char pitch, founder video, wildcard hack, impressive thing), YC interview, batch deadlines, Paul Graham essay, Requests for Startups. Also trigger for pitch help matching YC framing (what do you make, what's new, competitors, revenue) even without YC named. Built on PG's essay, partner advice (Seibel, Tan, Caldwell, Livingston), real applications (Dropbox S07, Basedash S20), 2025-2026 YC priorities. Drafts actual answers, not advice.

Auto-fill the YC application form using Playwright. Requires a completed FOUNDER_PROFILE from the founder-profile skill. Trigger when a founder says "fill out the form", "fill in my YC application", "let's submit", or "open the YC form". Claude fills every field, founder approves each section, founder clicks all submit/save/advance buttons.

Strategic discovery before a YC application. Trigger when a founder wants to apply to YC, says "let's start my application", "help me apply", or "fill out the form". Runs discovery, identifies strongest angles and critical gaps, then hands off to yc-application for drafting. Does NOT draft answers - that is yc-application's job. Does NOT fill the form - that is form-fill's job.

Welcome and orient a founder when they first install or open the apply-yc plugin. Trigger on: "how does this work", "what can you do", "help me get started", "I just installed this", or when a founder opens Claude Code and the apply-yc plugin is active but no other skill has been triggered yet. Runs once to orient the founder, then hands off to the right skill.
