AI agent skills that build and run your business autonomously — from idea to revenue, 24/7.
One command. 25 agent skills. Zero to profitable business.
Author · X / @jamesai · 小红书 / 在悉尼和稀泥
I'm a solo founder running 6 SaaS products in parallel — APIs, developer tools, and consumer apps shipped over the last 32 months.
Across those products, the working numbers right now:
💰 $1M+ lifetime revenue across all products
💳 6,500+ paying transactions processed
👥 10,000+ paying customers served
🚢 6 production SaaS products shipped
⏱ 32 months from first $1 to today
🧑 1 person no team, no employees, just AI agents
I built none of this with a marketing team, a sales department, or a content agency. Just me, a laptop, and a Claude Code window open most of the day.
The 25 skills in this repo are the exact operating system I run my businesses on. Not a course, not a framework — the working code I use myself. Every skill in here has been used to ship something real that's now collecting payments on Stripe.
This is not a hypothetical playbook. It's what's been running my company.
If you're a solo founder, an indie hacker, or a technical founder who wants to ship like a team of twenty — this is the closest thing to a copy-paste of my workflow you can get.
Show Me The Money is an open-source skill suite for Claude Code and compatible AI coding agents. It turns your AI assistant into a full-stack business operating system — discovering opportunities, validating demand, building products, running marketing, managing ads, operating everything autonomously, and remembering what you decided across every session.
Works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and other agents that support the skill system.
The review panel + cross-session learning. Eight new skills, plus auto-loading of every prior insight into every future session.
Most solo founders self-justify their plan into a green light, then ship for 6 months before discovering the structural flaw. Now there are four independent reviewers — each a complete persona — and one orchestrator:
/money-review-investor ← VC mode: SEED VIABLE / LATER ROUND / BOOTSTRAP-ONLY / UNFUNDABLE
/money-review-customer ← Named-ICP mode: PAY NOW / WITH FRICTION / WRONG POSITIONING / WRONG ICP
/money-review-operator ← Solo-execution mode: SHIPPABLE / DESCOPE / NEEDS HIRE / WRONG STACK
/money-review-skeptic ← Devil's advocate: EXISTENTIAL / SOLVABLE / LOW-RISK / WRONG QUESTION
/money-panel ← Runs all four, finds agreement, surfaces only taste decisions
One command runs the full gauntlet and only stops at the borderline calls.
/money-learn ← Atomic, validated patterns auto-loaded into every other skill
/money-retro ← Weekly retro: decided / shipped / stalled / unused-skills / focus
/money-skillify ← Codify a successful workflow into a project-local skill
Every other money-* skill now auto-loads relevant learnings on startup. The agent gets smarter session by session instead of cold-starting each conversation.
/money-diagnose now runs in four explicit phases (investigate → analyze → hypothesize → recommend) with a hard gate at phase 3: no recommendations until the user explicitly confirms the root-cause hypothesis. This prevents the most common diagnostic failure mode — agent has 80% confidence, user gives polite "hmm yeah", and 30 minutes of recommendations get aimed at the wrong target.
Optional Claude Code hook for tool-level enforcement is documented in the skill.
Cross-session state management. Three skills — /money-save, /money-restore, /money-report — turn every conversation into a checkpoint. Last week's pricing decision, the pivots you ruled out, the hypotheses you're testing — all persist across Claude Code sessions.
session 1 → /money-discover → /money-save ✅ wedge locked
…a week passes…
session 2 → /money-restore → picks up here 📦 no re-explanation
→ /money-strategy → /money-save ✅ pricing locked
…a month passes…
session N → /money-report 📄 full deliverable
claude plugin marketplace add iamzifei/show-me-the-money
claude plugin install money@show-me-the-moneynpx @orrisai/show-me-the-moneyThen open Claude Code (or Codex CLI / Gemini CLI) and type:
/money
That's it. The AI will check for prior session state, onboard you if you're new, and guide you through every step.
