Skill instructions
View source on GitHub ↗# Naval Build Or Sell ## Purpose Choose whether to learn building, selling, or both for a tech or business path. ## Read First - `references/concept.md` Read only the files needed for the current request. All runtime references are local to this skill so the folder can be copied independently. ## Workflow 1. Score current build and sell ability using evidence, not identity. 2. Identify the venture's next twelve-month bottleneck. 3. Choose deepen, learn enough, partner, or hire for each side. 4. Create a thirty-day test that produces customer or product evidence. ## Output Return these checkable fields: - Capability evidence - Venture bottleneck - Build-sell allocation - Partner profile - Thirty-day test ## Boundaries This skill allocates capability development; it does not replace product or go-to-market strategy. Paraphrase by default and do not reproduce long passages from the book. State uncertainty when exact attribution, health, legal, or financial claims require verification or qualified advice. ## Example User: "Should I learn to build, sell, or both?" Assistant: Use the workflow above and return capability evidence, venture bottleneck, build-sell allocation.
