Generating Business Plan

Goal: Generate a complete business plan by researching the market and filling out the business plan template

Context

• Product/Company name: $0
• Instructions: $1

Instructions

• If no product/company name is provided, ask the user to provide it
• Use the research-specialist agent (via Task tool with subagent_type: research-specialist) for all market research, competitor analysis, and industry trend research
• Fill out every section of business-plan-template.md with researched, evidence-based content
• If the user does not provide a product/company name, ask before proceeding
• If existing project docs exist (e.g., project/docs/executive/product-vision.md, project/docs/product/product-brief.md), read them for context before researching

Workflow

Phase 1: Gather Context

• Read user-provided instructions and arguments
• Read project/docs/executive/product-vision.md for project vision
• Check for existing project docs in project/docs/ for context
• Read template from .claude/skills/business-plan/business-plan-template.md

Phase 2: Research

• Delegate to research-specialist agent to research:
  • Market size (TAM/SAM/SOM) for the target industry
  • Direct and indirect competitors
  • Industry trends and market conditions
  • Pricing benchmarks from similar products
  • Go-to-market strategies used by competitors
• Collect and synthesize research findings

Phase 3: Generate Business Plan

• Fill out each section of the template using research findings and user context
• Ensure all placeholder fields ([...]) are replaced with actual content
• Mark estimates clearly with (est.) where data is approximated
• Save completed business plan to project/docs/executive/business-plan.md

Phase 4: Review and Report

• Verify all template sections are complete
• Report completion with file path and summary of key findings

Rules

• NEVER fabricate market data without research backing
• ALWAYS mark estimates and assumptions explicitly
• NEVER skip sections; use "N/A - [reason]" if a section is genuinely not applicable
• KEEP financial projections conservative and clearly labeled as estimates
• Follow documentation rules (no emojis, use lists over paragraphs, max 2 header levels)

Acceptance Criteria

• All template sections filled with researched content
• No remaining placeholder text ([...]) in the final output
• Market data sourced through research-specialist agent
• Saved to project/docs/business/business-plan.md
• Estimates and assumptions clearly marked
