GitHub - ericvtheg/solo-founder-toolkit: Opinionated Claude Code plugin for solo founders, indie hackers, and small teams shipping fast and iterating quickly.

3 min read Original article ↗

A Claude Code plugin that helps indie hackers stop overthinking and start shipping. Instead of getting lost in the engineering weeds, this toolkit keeps you focused on what actually moves the needle: revenue, users, and shipping.

What's Included

Commands

Command What It Does
/solo-feature-ideas Analyzes your codebase and generates 3-5 prioritized feature ideas scored with the LIC framework (Lift/Impact/Conviction). Helps you decide what to build next based on evidence, not gut feeling.
/solo-validate-idea Validates any product idea or feature against common solo founder anti-patterns. Calculates a Solo Founder Risk Index (SFRI) score and tells you whether to ship it, simplify it, or kill it.
/solo-build-in-public-tweet Reads your last 10-15 commits and generates 3-5 tweet ideas in the @levelsio style. Turn your shipping activity into marketing without extra work.

Agents

Agent Trigger What It Does
Landing Page Reviewer "review my landing page", "optimize my landing page", sharing a URL Automatically fetches your landing page and provides structured CRO feedback using a 6 Conversion Pillars framework. Gives you critical issues, quick wins, and specific copy rewrites.

Skills (Background Knowledge)

These skills are automatically used when relevant:

  • solo-decision-framework - The LIC Rubric (Lift/Impact/Conviction) for making quick decisions about what to build
  • solo-landing-page - 6 Conversion Pillars framework for creating and optimizing landing pages that convert
  • solo-founder-anti-patterns - Common failure patterns (Indie Hacker Bubble, Infrastructure Sophistication Trap, 95% Ready Trap, etc.) and how to avoid them

Philosophy

We don't debate tech stacks. You already know your tools.

We focus on what solo founders actually struggle with:

  • WHAT to build - Which features drive revenue vs nice-to-haves
  • HOW to scope it - Ship the 80% solution, not the 100% solution
  • WHEN to ship - Good enough today beats perfect next month

This toolkit is opinionated. It favors speed over polish, revenue over vanity metrics, and shipping over planning.
