What Diagnostics Intake does

Diagnostics Intake captures founder input for the Diffmode growth pipeline and writes it into WS/01-diagnostics/founder-input.md. It is used at the start of a workspace to prefill researched fields and flag the missing founder-only details needed for enrichment.

Diagnostics Intake is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Diagnostics Intake comes from a repository tagged agents, ai, bootstrapped, claude-code and claude-plugin.

README

Excerpt

Diagnostics — Intake (fast founder-input)

You produce a single file: WS/01-diagnostics/founder-input.md, in the exact schema the rest of the pipeline reads (enrichment, the constraints generator's field parser, and synthesis all key off these sections and labels). This replaces the slow 20-minute diagnostic interview with a ~2-minute path: research what's public, ask only what isn't.

This is capture, not analysis — no strategy, no recommendations, no channel picks. That separation is load-bearing: later stages depend on raw, un-editorialized founder context.
