  Solo Strategy Pack
  From TemplatedAI.io — all the prompts the gurus sell, rebuilt in plain
  language and honestly flagged. 8 skills, 0 tested. Find the assets you already have, pressure-test the plan, and rebuild your week around leverage.

  HOW TO USE: paste this whole file into a Claude Project, ChatGPT Project,
  Gemini Gem, or Cursor as knowledge/instructions. Then ask your AI to use
  a skill by name.

  HONESTY: "tested: no" in a skill means nobody has personally run it and
  pasted a real result yet. Use it — just judge the output yourself.

# Hidden Asset Inventory

## What it does
Digs through everything you know, built, and can do to surface assets you've stopped seeing — then maps which could become products, content, or recurring revenue.

## When to use it
- Feeling like you have "nothing to sell" (rarely true)
- Before building anything new — check what you already own first
- Repackaging: your old work often has a second life

## The skill
```
Interview me to inventory my assets. Ask ONE question at a time
across these areas, then compile:

- Things I've built (even unfinished, even "failed")
- Things I know that took years to learn
- Things people ask my help with
- Processes I do without thinking that others struggle with
- Audiences or communities I have any access to
- Content, documents, or systems sitting unused

Then:
1. THE INVENTORY — everything surfaced, organized.
2. HIDDEN VALUE — the 3-5 assets I'm most likely undervaluing,
   and why familiarity blinded me to each.
3. CONVERSION MAP — for each promising asset: could it become a
   product, content, a service, or a system others would pay for?
   One concrete example each.
4. THE ONE — if I could only develop one asset this quarter, which,
   and what's the smallest sellable version of it?

Rules: "failed" projects count — what I learned building them is
the asset. Don't inflate; an asset with no plausible buyer isn't
one.
```

## Tweaks
- Do it by voice over a coffee — interview format works best spoken
- Show the output to someone who knows you; they'll spot what you still missed

# Asset-Based Opportunity Map

## What it does
Analyzes your actual skills, experience, and network, then ranks the business opportunities those assets realistically support — by speed, probability, and upside.

## When to use it
- Deciding what to build next (or first)
- You have skills but no clarity on which opportunity fits them
- Torn between several ideas and picking by mood

## The skill
```
Act as my strategy partner. My assets:
- Skills: [LIST HONESTLY, INCLUDING SOFT ONES]
- Experience: [ROLES, INDUSTRIES, WINS, FAILURES]
- Network: [WHO YOU CAN REALISTICALLY REACH]
- Resources: [TIME/WEEK, CAPITAL, EXISTING AUDIENCE OR TOOLS]

1. Identify the 3-5 largest realistic opportunities these specific
   assets support. Not generic business ideas — things where MY
   asset combination is the advantage.
2. Rank them in a table: Speed to first revenue | Probability of
   working | Long-term upside | What it demands most of.
3. Challenge my assumptions: which of my listed assets am I probably
   overvaluing, and what am I not seeing as an asset?
4. For the top-ranked one: the first 3 concrete moves, this week.

Rules: no revenue fantasies. If an opportunity needs an asset I
don't have, say what it costs to get it instead of assuming it away.
```

## Tweaks
- Include failures in your experience list — they map to real advantages
- Rerun yearly; your asset list changes more than you notice

# Investor Teardown

## What it does
Attacks your business strategy like an investor deciding whether to pass — weak assumptions, blind spots, threats, execution risks — then shows how to fix what it found.

## When to use it
- Before committing serious time or money to a plan
- Everything feels right (most dangerous moment)
- Preparing to pitch, partner, or launch

## The skill
```
You're an investor evaluating whether to fund me. Your default is
NO — I have to survive your diligence.

My strategy: [DESCRIBE THE BUSINESS, MODEL, PLAN, CURRENT TRACTION]

Tear it apart:
1. WEAK ASSUMPTIONS — every load-bearing belief in my plan, rated:
   solid / shaky / wishful. What evidence would upgrade each shaky
   one?
2. BLIND SPOTS — what I'm not addressing at all.
3. COMPETITION — who kills this, including "customer does nothing",
   which is usually the real competitor.
4. EXECUTION RISK — where plans like this actually die (usually not
   where founders think).
5. THE PASS — write the 2-sentence rejection you'd give. Make it
   sting; that sentence is my to-do list.
6. THE FIX — now switch sides: the 3 changes that would most improve
   my odds, in order.

Rules: attack the plan, not the person. But do not soften findings —
a kind teardown that misses the fatal flaw is worthless.
```

## Example output
[TO FILL AFTER TESTING]

## Tweaks
- Run before Leverage Audit — no point optimizing a plan that fails diligence
- Rerun after major pivots; new plan, new weak assumptions

# AI-First Operations Designer

## What it does
Sorts every task in your business into four buckets — AI-handled, automated, delegated, or you-only — with tools and an implementation order.

## When to use it
- Solo operator drowning in tasks that don't need you
- Before hiring — check what automation removes first
- Rebuilding operations around AI instead of bolting it on

## The skill
```
Design an AI-first operating system for my business.

My business: [WHAT IT IS, WHAT YOU SELL]
Everything I do in a typical week: [LIST ALL RECURRING TASKS,
INCLUDING THE SMALL ONES]
Tools I already use/pay for: [LIST]
Budget for new tools: [AMOUNT/MONTH]

Sort every task into:
1. AI-HANDLED — an AI does it, I review (name the tool, prefer ones
   I already have)
2. AUTOMATED — runs without anyone (name the automation)
3. DELEGATED — needs a human who isn't me (what skill level, rough
   cost)
4. ONLY ME — genuinely requires my judgment, voice, or relationships

Then: implementation order by (effort to set up ÷ hours saved per
week). First thing to implement this week, with setup steps.

Rules: don't recommend a paid tool where a tool I own does 80% of
the job. Flag any task where AI quality isn't good enough yet —
honesty over enthusiasm.
```

## Example output
[TO FILL AFTER TESTING]

## Tweaks
- Track your actual week first — memory-based task lists miss half
- Rerun quarterly; the AI-handled bucket grows every few months

# Calendar Leverage Redesign

## What it does
Audits your actual week like an operator would — eliminate, automate, delegate, or batch every recurring commitment — then rebuilds your ideal week around leverage instead of busyness.

## When to use it
- Full calendar, flat results
- Every few months as commitments quietly accumulate
- Before taking on anything new (make room first)

## The skill
```
Here's my actual current week — calendar, responsibilities,
recurring tasks, including the informal ones:
[PASTE OR LIST, WITH ROUGH HOURS EACH]

What actually generates my income or growth: [BE SPECIFIC]

1. Sort every item: ELIMINATE (no real consequence if it stops) /
   AUTOMATE / DELEGATE / BATCH (keep, but grouped) / PROTECT (the
   few things that actually produce results).
2. For every ELIMINATE: what's the honest worst case if it just
   stops? I need to see how small the risk usually is.
3. Show the math: hours recovered per week from the full redesign.
4. Rebuild my ideal week: PROTECT items in my best-energy slots,
   batches placed sensibly, recovered hours explicitly assigned to
   the highest-leverage work (not silently absorbed).

Rules: challenge anything I've marked untouchable — "I've always
done it" is not a reason. But don't eliminate rest; recovery time
is a PROTECT item, not waste.
```

## Example output
[TO FILL AFTER TESTING]

## Tweaks
- Track a real week first; remembered calendars lie
- Pairs with AI-First Operations Designer — this finds the hours, that fills the automation bucket

name: Leverage Audit

# Leverage Audit

## What it does
Audits your current strategy against your income goal — highest-leverage moves, real bottlenecks, and the uncomfortable decisions you're avoiding, ranked by expected return.

## When to use it
- Working hard, income flat
- Quarterly strategy check
- You suspect you're busy with the wrong things (you usually are)

## The skill
```
My income goal for the next 12 months: [SPECIFIC NUMBER]
Current income and where it comes from: [BREAKDOWN]
What I currently spend my working time on: [HONEST LIST WITH ROUGH
HOURS]
What I've been meaning to do but haven't: [LIST — BE HONEST]

Audit me:
1. THE GAP — Is the goal realistic from here? Show the math. If
   not, give me the number that IS and what the original would
   require.
2. LEVERAGE — Rank my possible moves by expected return on effort.
   Which 20% of possible actions drive most of the gap?
3. BOTTLENECK — The single constraint that, unfixed, caps
   everything else regardless of effort elsewhere.
4. AVOIDANCE — Look at my "meaning to do" list. What am I avoiding,
   and what is the avoidance costing per month?
5. THE CUT — What should I STOP doing entirely. Time freed is the
   cheapest leverage there is.

Rules: no motivation, no "you've got this". If the goal is fantasy,
say so before optimizing toward it.
```

## Example output
[TO FILL AFTER TESTING]

## Tweaks
- Rerun quarterly with actual numbers — the audit compounds
- The AVOIDANCE section is the product; don't skip filling in that input honestly

# Operator Principles Framework

## What it does
Applies the published decision-making principles of world-class operators to your specific problem, combined into one practical framework — borrowed judgment, applied concretely.

## When to use it
- Stuck on a genuinely hard business decision
- Your thinking keeps circling the same considerations
- You want outside perspective and have no board to ask

## The skill
```
My problem/decision: [DESCRIBE IT PLAINLY, WITH REAL CONSTRAINTS]

1. Take documented decision-making principles from operators known
   for different strengths — e.g. Bezos (customer obsession,
   one-way vs two-way doors), Musk (first principles, questioning
   requirements), Nadella (culture and partnership), Huang (speed,
   "how hard can it be" bias to act). Use only their publicly
   documented principles, not imagined opinions.
2. Apply each lens to MY problem: what would this principle say
   about my specific situation? Concrete, not inspirational.
3. Where the lenses disagree about my problem, show the
   disagreement — that tension usually locates the real decision.
4. Combine into one framework: the 3-5 questions I should answer,
   in order, to decide. Then answer them with me.

Rules: no invented quotes. If a principle doesn't fit my scale
(I'm not running a trillion-dollar company), adapt it to solo/small
scale explicitly.
```

## Example output
[TO FILL AFTER TESTING]

## Tweaks
- Swap in operators from your own industry
- Save the final framework — it's reusable for the next decision

# The Solo Strategy Stack

## What it does
Seven prompts chained into a solo operator's strategy system: find what you have, pick what to build, stress-test it, design the operation, protect your time, audit quarterly.

## What you need
Any AI chat app and the 7 business skills from the library. A few honest hours.

## Setup phase (once, ~2-3 hours across a week)
1. **Hidden Asset Inventory** — surface what you actually have
2. **Asset-Based Opportunity Map** — rank what those assets support
3. **Investor Teardown** — attack the winning opportunity before committing
4. **AI-First Operations Designer** — design how it runs without drowning you
5. **Calendar Leverage Redesign** — clear the hours the plan needs

## Running rhythm
- **Quarterly:** Leverage Audit — goal vs reality, bottleneck, what you're avoiding
- **Per hard decision:** Operator Principles Framework
- **Per pivot:** rerun the Investor Teardown on the new plan

## Maintenance habits
- Keep every audit's output — comparing quarters shows patterns no single session can
- When the teardown and your gut disagree, investigate before overriding either
- The stack works only with honest inputs; garbage self-assessment in, garbage strategy out

## What we stripped
The source promised "$10M business", "10x your income in 12 months", and framing AI output as equivalent to "decades of experience in minutes". Removed all of it. These prompts produce structured thinking about YOUR situation — the quality ceiling is the honesty of what you feed them, and no prompt has ever 10x'd anyone's income by itself. Also constrained the famous-founder prompt to documented public principles only, so it borrows real frameworks instead of inventing opinions for real people.
