# dontbesilent Business Diagnostics (dbskill)

> Skill by [ara.so](https://ara.so) — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

A business diagnosis toolkit distilled from 12,307 tweets into structured Claude Code skills. Provides six diagnostic tools covering commercial model validation, competitor benchmarking, content strategy, execution unblocking, and Wittgenstein-style concept deconstruction. Knowledge base includes 4,176 structured knowledge atoms and 10 methodology documents.

---

## Installation

```bash
# Via npx (recommended)
npx skills add dontbesilent2025/dbskill

# Manual install
git clone https://github.com/dontbesilent2025/dbskill.git /tmp/dbskill \
  && cp -r /tmp/dbskill/skills/dbs* ~/.claude/skills/ \
  && rm -rf /tmp/dbskill

After installation, skills are available in Claude Code via /dbs commands.

Available Skills

Command	Purpose
/dbs	Main entry — auto-routes to the right tool
/dbs-diagnosis	Business model diagnosis. Dissolves problems, doesn't just answer them
/dbs-benchmark	Competitor benchmarking with five-layer noise filtering
/dbs-content	Content creation diagnosis via five-dimension detection
/dbs-unblock	Execution diagnosis using Adler framework
/dbs-deconstruct	Concept deconstruction via Wittgenstein-style audit

Recommended Workflow

/dbs-diagnosis   → Is the business model right?
      ↓
/dbs-benchmark   → Who to model after?
      ↓
/dbs-content     → How to produce content?
      ↓
/dbs-unblock     → Stuck? Can't execute?

/dbs-deconstruct → Deconstruct any concept at any time

Skills cross-recommend: if /dbs-diagnosis detects psychological blockers, it will suggest /dbs-unblock.

Diagnosis Framework Quick Reference

The /dbs-diagnosis skill operates on 6 core axioms with a dissolution funnel — it aims to dissolve problems at the root rather than patch symptoms.

Key diagnostic questions it applies:

1. Can you describe the product's color? (Specificity test)
2. Is this a real problem or a definition problem?
3. Is the blocker external or psychological?
4. Who is already solving this successfully? (Benchmark signal)
5. What would have to be true for this to work?
6. Are you answering the wrong question?

Benchmarking Five-Layer Noise Filter

The /dbs-benchmark skill applies five filters to eliminate false benchmarks:

1. Scale filter — Remove companies at different scale stages
2. Context filter — Remove different market/cultural contexts
3. Timing filter — Remove companies in different growth phases
4. Survivorship filter — Include failed attempts, not just successes
5. Causation filter — Separate what caused success from what accompanied it

Execution Unblocking (Adler Framework)

The /dbs-unblock skill uses Alfred Adler's psychology framework:

• All problems are ultimately interpersonal relationship problems
• "Can't do" usually means "won't do" — find the hidden secondary gain
• Separate the task from the person's identity
• Identify the specific moment execution breaks down

Troubleshooting

Skills not appearing after install

# Verify installation location
ls ~/.claude/skills/ | grep dbs

# Re-run manual install
cp -r /tmp/dbskill/skills/dbs* ~/.claude/skills/

Knowledge base files not found

# Check you cloned the full repo including 知识库/ directory
ls 知识库/原子库/atoms.jsonl
ls "知识库/Skill知识包/"

atoms.jsonl parse errors

# Handle encoding and empty lines defensively
import json

def safe_load_atoms(path):
    atoms = []
    with open(path, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
        for i, line in enumerate(f):
            line = line.strip()
            if not line:
                continue
            try:
                atoms.append(json.loads(line))
            except json.JSONDecodeError as e:
                print(f"Parse error on line {i+1}: {e}")
    return atoms

Skill routes to wrong tool Use specific commands instead of /dbs router:

/dbs-diagnosis  # for business model issues
/dbs-unblock    # for execution/psychological blockers
/dbs-benchmark  # for competitive analysis
