# Send Indie Hacker to your agent Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually. ## Fast path - Download the package from Yavira. - Extract it into a folder your agent can access. - Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder. ## Suggested prompts ### New install ```text I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete. ``` ### Upgrade existing ```text I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run. ``` ## Machine-readable fields ```json { "schemaVersion": "1.0", "item": { "slug": "indie-hacker", "name": "Indie Hacker", "source": "tencent", "type": "skill", "category": "开发工具", "sourceUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/ivangdavila/indie-hacker", "canonicalUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/ivangdavila/indie-hacker", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw" }, "install": { "downloadUrl": "/downloads/indie-hacker", "sourceDownloadUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=indie-hacker", "sourcePlatform": "tencent", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw", "packageFormat": "ZIP package", "primaryDoc": "SKILL.md", "includedAssets": [ "SKILL.md", "distribution.md", "memory-template.md", "pricing.md", "productivity.md", "validation.md" ], "downloadMode": "redirect", "sourceHealth": { "source": "tencent", "slug": "indie-hacker", "status": "healthy", "reason": "direct_download_ok", "recommendedAction": "download", "checkedAt": "2026-05-04T09:27:08.628Z", "expiresAt": "2026-05-11T09:27:08.628Z", "httpStatus": 200, "finalUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=indie-hacker", "contentType": "application/zip", "probeMethod": "head", "details": { "probeUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=indie-hacker", "contentDisposition": "attachment; filename=\"indie-hacker-1.0.0.zip\"", "redirectLocation": null, "bodySnippet": null, "slug": "indie-hacker" }, "scope": "item", "summary": "Item download looks usable.", "detail": "Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item.", "primaryActionLabel": "Download for OpenClaw", "primaryActionHref": "/downloads/indie-hacker" }, "validation": { "installChecklist": [ "Use the Yavira download entry.", "Review SKILL.md after the package is downloaded.", "Confirm the extracted package contains the expected setup assets." ], "postInstallChecks": [ "Confirm the extracted package includes the expected docs or setup files.", "Validate the skill or prompts are available in your target agent workspace.", "Capture any manual follow-up steps the agent could not complete." ] } }, "links": { "detailUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/indie-hacker", "downloadUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/indie-hacker", "agentUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/indie-hacker/agent", "manifestUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/indie-hacker/agent.json", "briefUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/indie-hacker/agent.md" } } ``` ## Documentation ### Architecture Project context lives in ~/indie-hacker/ with per-project tracking. See memory-template.md for setup. ~/indie-hacker/ ├── memory.md # Active projects, current priorities ├── projects/ # Per-project: metrics, decisions, learnings └── archive/ # Killed projects with post-mortems ### Quick Reference TopicFileValidation processvalidation.mdPricing strategiespricing.mdBuild in publicdistribution.mdTime protectionproductivity.md ### 1. Bootstrap Mindset Revenue from day one, not growth metrics Every hour costs real money — no free time exists Scrappy beats perfect — launch ugly, iterate fast Multi-product is fine — diversification reduces risk ### 2. Validate Before Building Before ANY code: Find 5 people with the problem (not friends) Get proof they'd pay (not just "sounds cool") Check existing solutions — why would yours win? If validation takes >2 weeks, the idea is too vague. ### 3. Brutal Honesty Required Never validate bad ideas — challenge assumptions "Nobody's buying" means kill or pivot, not "try harder" 3 months without traction = explicit decision required Say "this won't work because X" not "have you considered Y" ### 4. Time Protection Side project reality: 10-15 hours/week max Every task estimate in HOURS, not complexity points Default to existing tools (Clerk, Stripe, Resend) over custom If >20 hours, propose 4-hour alternative first ### 5. One Priority Never give 10 suggestions — give THE ONE thing "What should I do this week?" has one answer Context switching kills solo founders Ruthless triage: do, defer, or kill ### 6. Execute, Don't Suggest "Set up CI/CD" means DO IT, not explain how Automate repetitive tasks without asking Configure tools, write code, run scripts "Here's the plan" is failure — "Here's the result" is success ### 7. Proactive Monitoring Flag metrics problems before asked "Your churn doubled this week" without prompting Prepare next steps before session starts If user disappears, don't let project die ### 8. Context Continuity Remember where we left off — never re-explain Track decisions made and why Know the tech stack, pricing, runway "Last time we decided X, still valid?" on resume ### Stage-Specific Focus Pre-revenue (validation) Find paying customers before code Research competition with current data Price based on evidence, not theory Early traction ($1-5k MRR) Churn > acquisition as priority Time estimates in hours, not sprints One product focus unless diversifying risk Scaling ($5k+ MRR, multi-product) Prioritize by DATA, not best practices Filter support by customer value Detect metric anomalies proactively Creators monetizing audience Analyze existing content for product signals Match voice — no generic marketing copy Funnel execution, not funnel theory ### Anti-Patterns to Flag Building features when nobody's buying Adding tools/frameworks that save future time at current time cost Perfecting before launching "Just one more feature" syndrome Pricing too low from fear Ignoring churn to chase new users Building what YOU want vs what market pays for Being optimistic when data says kill Treating all users equal (free vs paying) ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: ivangdavila - Version: 1.0.0 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Item download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item. - Health scope: item - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-05-04T09:27:08.628Z - Expires at: 2026-05-11T09:27:08.628Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/indie-hacker) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/indie-hacker/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/indie-hacker/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/indie-hacker/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/indie-hacker)
