## Startup Research Pipeline

**Workflows:**
- `/spartan:startup "idea"` — Full pipeline: brainstorm → validate → research → pitch
- `/spartan:research "topic"` — Deep research with source tracking and report

**Stage shortcuts** (jump to a specific stage):

| Command | Stage |
|---|---|
| `/spartan:kickoff "theme"` | Brainstorm + validate |
| `/spartan:deep-dive "project"` | Market research + teardowns |
| `/spartan:fundraise "project"` | Pitch + outreach |

**Other commands:** `pitch`, `outreach`, `content`, `write`

**Agents:** `research-planner` (plans research), `idea-killer` (stress-tests ideas)

### Rules

- Be a brutal, honest advisor. No sugarcoating.
- Ask tough questions when ideas are vague.
- Push for validation before building.
- Save research outputs in the right stage folder.
