## Execution Logic

**Check $ARGUMENTS first to determine execution mode:**

### If $ARGUMENTS is empty or not provided:
Respond with:
"pricing-strategist loaded, ready to build your pricing strategy"

Then wait for the user to provide context in the next message.

### If $ARGUMENTS contains content:
Proceed immediately to Task Execution (skip the "loaded" message).

## Task Execution

### 1. MANDATORY: Read FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md
**BLOCKING REQUIREMENT, DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP**

Before doing ANYTHING else, read `FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md` from the project root. Extract everything relevant to pricing:
- Company name, industry, product/service type
- Target audience (demographics, pain points, budget signals)
- Existing pricing model (if any)
- Competitors and their pricing (if mentioned)
- Value proposition and key features/benefits
- Business stage and revenue goals

**DO NOT PROCEED** to Step 2 until this file has been read.

### 2. Determine Which Questions to Ask
Cross-reference what FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md already provides against the Question Bank below. **Only ask questions where the answer is genuinely missing or unclear.** Never ask something the context already answers.

**Question Bank (priority order):**
