Solo founder board · weekly cycle
One human plus a fleet of agents. 7-day operational rhythm, repeat indefinitely.
## How to use
1. **Sunday night (15 min):** read the brief your research agent drafted. Edit **This week** to your final 5-15 commitments.
2. **Daily (2 min):** read Status. Mark items done. Drop new decisions into **Decision log**.
3. **Friday afternoon (10 min):** read the week retro your drafting agent prepared. Edit / add. Fork to next week.
## This week
The 5-15 commitments for this cycle. Columns: title · area (build / fundraise / customer / ops) · owner · status. Reset every Sunday.
## Backlog
Everything queued. Pull into **This week** Sunday night, defer, or kill. Aging items get surfaced by your agent.
## Decision log (the compounding asset)
Every meaningful decision. Re-read monthly — the closest a solo founder gets to a board meeting.
### YYYY-MM-DD · [decision]
**Context:** what triggered this.
**Considered:** options on the table.
**Decided:** what we picked.
**Why:** the load-bearing reason.
**What would change my mind:** specific signal that would flip the call.
## Inbound
Source (investor / customer / press / candidate) · name · asks · status · priority. Research agent triages here Sunday nights.
## Week retro
Latest week at top. Drafting agent fills in Friday afternoon.
### Week of YYYY-MM-DD
- **Shipped:** 3 specifics
- **Slipped:** what didn't happen, why
- **Decisions this week:** N (link Decision log)
- **Next week's lean:** the one big thing
- **Energy check:** honest reading
## When you're done (every Friday)
Read the retro. If something feels off, edit. Add anything the agent missed. Fork the workspace to next week — the Decision log carries forward, This week resets, Backlog gets re-triaged.
Fork to next cycle
When you're done, fork the workspace for the next cycle. The new workspace will be seeded with your structure, your customizations, and this cycle's retro as your agent's first Status entry — so it picks up context-aware from where this one left off. Same template, next cycle, no manual setup.
