mohitagw15856 036511ab3e Windsurf + Aider targets, MCP server, and demo placement (#33 )

Broadens both reach (more tools) and content types (an MCP server), continuing
the multi-platform story.

Windsurf + Aider:
- build-exports.mjs gains two platforms: exports/windsurf/*.md (workspace rules,
  trigger: model_decision) and exports/aider/*.md (conventions for `aider --read`).
  Now 5 platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider).
- install.sh + bin/cli.mjs install both (windsurf -> .windsurf/rules, aider ->
  .aider/skills with a --read hint); generated README index is excluded from copies.
- One-line windsurf-install.sh / aider-install.sh wrappers for parity.

MCP server (new content type):
- mcp/server.mjs — zero-dependency stdio MCP server exposing list_skills,
  search_skills, get_skill. Published as a second bin (pm-claude-skills-mcp).
  Logs to stderr; reads bundled skills/ at startup. mcp/README.md documents
  client config.

Also: README hero "See it in action" demo placement (ready to swap in a GIF;
recording guide in web/docs-assets/README.md), Works-With table + exports +
install docs updated, CHANGELOG Unreleased. package.json files/bin updated.

Raw Blame History

Investor Update Skill

This skill writes a complete investor update — structured for clarity, honest about challenges, and specific about asks. Output follows the format preferred by most early-stage and growth investors.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

Company name and stage (Seed / Series A / Series B / etc.)
Period covered (month or quarter)
Key metrics this period (revenue, MRR, users, churn, burn, runway — whatever's relevant)
Biggest wins
Biggest challenges or misses
Specific asks from investors (intros, advice, talent, partnerships)
What's coming next period
Tone (formal / conversational — most investors prefer conversational)

Output Structure

[Company Name] — [Month/Quarter] Update [Date]

Hi [Investor names or "all"],

[One or two sentence opener — a specific highlight or honest framing of the period. Don't open with "Hope you're well." Open with the most important thing that happened.]

The Numbers

Metric	This Period	Last Period	Change
[MRR / ARR]	[Value]	[Value]	[+/- %]
[Active users / customers]
[Churn rate]
[Burn rate]
[Runway]
[Other key metric]

[1–2 sentences of narrative on the numbers — what's the story behind the movement? Don't just repeat the table.]

Highlights

[Highlight 1 — 4–6 word title] [2–4 sentences. What happened. Why it matters. Be specific — name the customer, the number, the milestone.]

[Highlight 2] [2–4 sentences]

[Highlight 3 — optional]

Challenges

[This section is what separates trustworthy updates from self-promotional ones. Investors know you have challenges. Being direct builds trust.]

[Challenge 1] [2–4 sentences. What the problem is. What you've tried. What you're doing about it. Don't spin — investors see through it.]

[Challenge 2 — if applicable]

Focus for Next [Month/Quarter]

[3–5 bullet points. What you're concentrating on next period and why. Keep it tight — not an exhaustive roadmap.]

[Priority 1]
[Priority 2]
[Priority 3]

Asks

[Be specific. "Let me know if you can help" is not an ask. These should be actionable items an investor can act on immediately.]

[Ask type: e.g. Intro] — [Specific request. e.g. "Looking for an intro to procurement leads at mid-market SaaS companies. Happy to share a warm intro note."]
[Ask type: e.g. Advice] — [Specific question you want input on]
[Ask type: e.g. Talent] — [Specific hire you're looking for — title, key requirements]

[Closing line — 1 sentence. Forward-looking or a genuine thanks. Not "as always, let me know if you have questions."]

[Signature] [Name] [Company] [One way to reply — email / Calendly / reply to this thread]

Writing Rules

Updates should take an investor 3–4 minutes to read. If it's longer, trim it.
Never lead with process ("This month we focused on...") — lead with outcomes
Challenges section must be honest. A missing challenges section signals the founder isn't self-aware or isn't being transparent.
Metrics table must include comparison to last period — a number without context is meaningless
Asks must be specific enough that an investor knows within 5 seconds if they can help
No jargon or buzzwords ("synergies," "crushing it," "hockey stick") — plain language only

Quality Checks

Opens with a specific highlight or honest framing (not a pleasantry)
Numbers include period-over-period comparison
Challenges section is present and honest
Asks are specific and actionable
Total length is skimmable in 3–4 minutes
No spin or buzzwords

Anti-Patterns

Do not omit challenges or bad news — sanitised updates erode investor trust faster than bad results do
Do not bury the lead — use BLUF structure and put the most important news in the first paragraph
Do not send an update without a clear "Ask" section — investors who want to help need to know how
Do not use buzzwords or spin — investors see hundreds of updates and will see through vague positive language
Do not report metrics without a comparison baseline — numbers without context (vs. last period or target) are meaningless

Example Trigger Phrases

"Write an investor update for [month/quarter]"
"Draft a monthly update for our investors based on these notes: [paste notes]"
"Help me write a board update for Q[N]"
"Write our Series A investor newsletter"
