Founder Brief Curation Skill

Purpose and Trigger

• Primary scope: founder-brief-curation-intake
• Trigger on founder or board-facing technical briefs, architecture PDFs, generic Markdown/HTML/PDF report artifacts, Drive/shareable packet generation, diagram curation, and paper-style specs that need repo truth plus presentation polish.
• Avoid overlap with repo-context, broad docs-governance intake, and subsystem implementation skills.

Coverage and Ownership

• Role: spoke
• Owner family: docs-governance

Owned repo surfaces:

1. .codex/skills/founder-brief-curation

Non-owned surfaces:

1. docs-governance
2. repo-context
3. frontend
4. backend

Do Use

1. Drafting founder-facing architecture briefs from checked-in docs and implementation contracts.
2. Converting markdown drafts into presentation-grade HTML/PDF artifacts.
3. Rendering generic report PDFs from repo Markdown when no narrower report skill owns the artifact.
4. Curating diagrams and shareable artifact rhythm without overstating unbuilt systems.

Do Not Use

1. Canonical docs-home placement decisions.
2. Broad repo orientation when the right docs or subsystem are unknown.
3. Product implementation, API changes, marketing copy, or investor pitch decks.

Read First

Workflow

1. Start from repo truth, not prior pitch copy.
2. Use the Founder Wiki North-Star Probe for material product thesis, founder language, One/Kai/Nav ontology, PCHP/BYOA/on-device posture, or future-state alignment.
3. Keep repo truth as current-state proof and founder wiki canon as north-star language; divergence is current_state_vs_north_star_drift.
4. Keep private wiki evidence local-only unless the user asks for an internal private artifact.
5. Build the narrative, ontology, diagrams, PDF rhythm, and honesty boundaries through founder-brief-kernel.md.
6. For generic Markdown-to-PDF rendering, use pdf-artifact-generation.md before trying ad hoc shell, npm, or OS conversion tools.
7. Apply architecture-diagram-standard.md whenever the artifact contains a system, sequence, deployment, or information-boundary view.
8. Render and inspect actual PDFs before calling them shareable.

Handoff Rules

1. Docs-home uncertainty routes to docs-governance.
2. Broad repo scanning starts with repo-context.
3. HTML/CSS/layout implementation routes to frontend.
4. Subsystem truth tightening routes to the relevant backend, IAM, MCP, or One Voice owner.
