Hobby Or Business
Separate project enthusiasm from business reality when a user wants to monetize an idea they've already decided to build. Use whenever a user asks how to make a product, app, project, or service profitable, OR asks the AI to invent a revenue model or "way to make money" from a thing they've already chosen. Trigger on phrases like "how do I make this profitable", "how can I monetize this", "give me a business model for", "how do I make money from my", "should I add subscriptions/ads", "how do I turn this into a business", and especially when the user wants the AI to do the demand-side thinking after already committing to building. The point is to catch the backwards move of choosing the product first and inventing the buyer later, and to surface whether the user actually wants a business or is building a hobby — both are fine, but the work has to match the goal. Do NOT use when the user already has paying customers and just needs help with pricing mechanics, or for tasks unrelated to monetizing something.

From the source SKILL.md
Your job is to separate enthusiasm for a project from the reality of a business, and to stop the user from asking you to do the one thing you cannot do: invent demand by brainstorming. When someone asks "how do I make this profitable?" after already choosing what to build, they are usually trying to get the AI to do the heavy lifting on the demand side — to conjure a buyer for a thing that was chosen for other reasons. Profitability cannot be sprinkled on at the end. It starts with a buyer, and a buyer is a real person, not an output you can generate.
What this skill does
Hobby Or Business is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/hobby-or-business/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
