🎯 Why this exists — the receipts
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.
✨ What's New in v2.8.0
The "content craft" release — /money-content and /money-social absorb a battle-tested short-video content methodology, generalized for every format:
- Topic Gate. Every topic passes a supply-demand test before a word is written: whose pain, who else covers it, and "the top 5 results already explain this — better how?" (only three valid edges: first-hand data, contrarian-but-correct, or plain-words translation). ~80% of performance is locked at topic selection.
- Information Density Scoring. Every sentence scored against calibrated anchors (80+ = a conclusion you can't hear anywhere else; <40 = filler), with pass thresholds per format and a fix priority: cut filler, then expand the buried high-scorer.
- One-Core Resonance Check. A piece that says six things says nothing — find the single core, catch the four failure modes (diluted core, unstated mechanism, stance drift, correct-but-flat), and say the thing readers privately believe but won't say publicly.
- Sell-real red line + hook craft. Never fabricate cases or numbers; hooks are typed (data vs emotional) and judged with the right ruler; 3-6 genuinely different candidates, never 10+.
- Content MVP testing ladder. Unproven topics get a free text post before an expensive video: bookmarks-vs-your-own-median decides promotion (post → thread → blog → video → paid) or a logged kill.

💡 Usage Examples
🎓 Complete beginner — guided tutorial (/money onboarding)
Don't know what to type? This mode assumes nothing and asks for nothing:
/money onboarding (or: /money tutorial, /money 新手, /money 教程)
What the tutorial actually does:
- Orientation — the whole system explained in 3 sentences (idea → strategy → product → customers → autopilot; you only ever need to remember
/money) - Pick a demo persona — numbered choices with a default, so pressing Enter works:
- 👩💻 a developer with 10 hrs/week · ✍️ a creator with 3k followers · ☕ a local café owner · 🙋 or your real situation
- Live mini-demo — compressed tastes of
/money-discover→/money-strategy→ 7-day action plan, each followed by a one-line "💡 What just happened" explainer - Graduation — one yes/no: "want to run this exact flow on YOUR real situation?"
Example output (persona #1, condensed):
📋 Demo Business Brief — "Screenshot-to-Invoice" micro-SaaS
🎯 Wedge: freelance designers who invoice 5-15 clients/mo and lose
~2 hrs each month re-typing line items — they already pay for
worse workarounds (manual VAs, clunky OCR apps).
💰 Competitors & pricing:
- Invoice Ninja (free-$10/mo, generic, no screenshot flow)
- Hectic ($15/mo, freelancer suite, invoice is a side feature)
- Manual VA on Upwork (~$40/mo equivalent)
→ Suggested price: $12/mo — under the suite, above "toy"
⚠️ Riskiest assumption: designers trust OCR enough to send the
result to a client without checking every line.
📅 7-day plan: Day 1 (< 1 hr) — post the one-sentence pitch in two
freelance-designer communities and count reactions. Days 2-7:
landing page → waitlist → 5 problem interviews → mock demo → decide.
That's the whole learning curve. Three commands:
/money · /money-save · /money-restore
💡 The full tutorial takes ~5 minutes and never asks an open-ended question — every prompt has numbered options and a default.
Start from scratch
/money
→ Share your email and X handle
→ AI researches your background
→ Follow the guided pipeline
Validate a business idea
/money-discover "I'm a developer who can build web apps"
Get a full market research report
/money-strategy "API product that provides AI image generation"
Build and ship a product
/money-product "SaaS tool for email analytics, $29/mo"
Launch your content engine
/money-content "create a launch content plan for my product at example.com"
Automate everything
/money-ops "automate content, social, and SEO for my product at example.com"
Lock in a decision and continue later
/money-discover "..."
→ AI validates the wedge, you confirm pricing
/money-save ✅ wedge + pricing checkpointed
…a week later, new Claude Code session…
/money-restore 📦 picks up exactly where you left off
/money-strategy → builds GTM plan from there
Generate a deliverable for a co-founder
/money-report
→ Merges all your saved checkpoints (over weeks or months) into one
shareable markdown report at ~/.smtm/reports/{project}/

🏗 How It Works
Built on the Claude Code skill system. Each skill is a SKILL.md file containing step-by-step workflows, business frameworks, and decision trees that the AI follows autonomously.

State files live in ~/.smtm/sessions/{project}/ (per-project, append-only) and ~/.smtm/reports/{project}/ (timestamped, never overwritten).
🔒 Privacy & Disclosure
- Everything stays local. All state the suite collects or generates — profiles, learnings, session checkpoints, usage telemetry — lives in plain markdown/JSONL under
~/.smtm/on your machine. Nothing is ever uploaded. The suite's only network call is a silent npm version check (npm view), which fails quietly offline. - Erase anytime. Delete
~/.smtm/and every piece of collected data is gone. - Interest disclosure. When a skill needs an AI API key, it may mention ccapi.ai as a convenience option. ccapi.ai is run by this suite's author. It is never required — your own API keys always work.
