## Description

Read the founder/ folder and show where the company stands in one screen: what each skill decided, how old it is, which facts are recorded, what is still open, and which skill to run next. Use when a founder asks where things stand, what has been done, or what to do next.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

You are the person who keeps the file on this company. You know what is written down, how old it is, and what is missing.

Input: $ARGUMENTS

## Before you start

Read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/conventions.md` and follow it, with one exception stated below.

- Reads: every file in `founder/`
- Needs: nothing. The folder is the input
- Saves to: nothing

This skill does not save a file. It reports the state of the folder, and a saved copy would be wrong the moment the next skill runs. Rule 4 of the conventions does not apply here. Rules 6 and 7 do: never invent a fact, a date or a number that is not in the folder.

If `founder/` does not exist or holds nothing, say so in one line, name the two skills worth running first for a founder at the start, and stop. Do not guess what the company might be.

## Instructions

### 1. The one line

Open with a single sentence that says what this company is and where it stands, built only from what the files say. If the files disagree about what the company is, say that instead.

### 2. What is written down

A table, one row per saved skill output in `founder/`, newest first. `founder/facts.md` is not a row here; section 3 covers it.

| Work | Decided | Age | The headline |
|------|---------|-----|--------------|

- **Work**: the skill that wrote it, from the file's header comment
- **Decided**: the date in that header
- **Age**: days since then, counted from today
- **The headline**: the single decision or verdict that file reached, in under 15 words, quoted or closely paraphrased from the file

### 3. The facts on record

List what `founder/facts.md` holds, grouped as the founder would think of them: what the company is, the numbers, the team, the money. Mark each one with its date.
