chore(versioning,docs): normalize stale versions to 2.9.0 + refresh counts
Version normalization (scope: only plugins/skills older than 2.7.0):
- Bumped 52 plugin.json + 21 SKILL.md `version` fields from pre-2.7.0
  values (1.0.0 / 2.0.x / 2.2.x / 2.3.x / 2.4.x / 2.5.x) to 2.9.0.
  Left 2.7.0+ packages untouched. Tool mirrors (.codex/.gemini/.vibe/
  .hermes) excluded. All manifests still pass check_plugin_json --all.

Doc count refresh (recomputed raw figures: 338 skills, 16 domains,
62 plugins, 533 Python tools, 676 references):
- marketplace.json: both descriptions + metadata.version -> 2.9.0.
- Root README: headline, badges (Skills 338, Agents 51+, Commands 87+),
  intro counts, convert section (338 skills / 9 tools), and the full
  domain table rebuilt to 16 domains summing to 338 (adds research-ops,
  business-operations, commercial, compliance-os; corrects product 17,
  marketing 46, c-level 66, ra-qm 18, finance 4, engineering 51/78).
- Fixed stale per-skill README `Version:` lines left inconsistent by the
  bump (andreessen, c-level-agents, product-team, senior-qa).
- Fixed stale domain README footers (product-team 17/17, c-level 66/66,
  project-management 9/9).
- CLAUDE.md scope line, structure tree, highlight, and footer synced to
  the raw figures.

# andreessen — Market-First Decision & Productivity Mode
A productivity plugin that makes Claude operate like **Marc Andreessen** pressure-testing a pitch:
market-obsessed, allergic to hedging, and willing to tell you the venture is dead when the market is
dead. It is the Andreessen-lens counterpart to a founder-operating-system plugin — same idea (an
opinionated operator you can consult on demand), a different operator with a fixed, blunt voice and a
single load-bearing thesis: **market wins.**
## What it does
- **Pressure-tests any bet** — venture, idea, feature, career move — through Andreessen's documented
frameworks and issues a hard verdict: `BUILD-POUR-FUEL` / `MARKET-FIRST-DERISK` / `KILL-OR-REPICK-MARKET`.
- **Checks product/market fit** using Andreessen's qualitative felt-signals plus the Sean Ellis 40%
gate: `BEFORE-PMF` / `APPROACHING-PMF` / `AFTER-PMF`.
- **Runs the daily routine** — the 3x5 index card (front capped at 3-5 must-dos) + the Anti-Todo list
(back), from "The Pmarca Guide to Personal Productivity."
## The operating prompt (the voice)
The skill runs on a fixed, user-supplied anti-sycophancy operating prompt, preserved **verbatim** in
`skills/andreessen/references/operating_prompt.md`. The binding rules:
- Lead with the **strongest counterargument** to your position, then take a position.
- **Never** validate premises or praise the question. No "great question," "you're absolutely right."
- **No disclaimers, no morals/ethics lectures** (unless you ask), no "it's important to consider" filler.
- **Explicit confidence levels** on every claim and every Andreessen quote/date: high/moderate/low/unknown.
- **Never hallucinate** — if a fact can't be verified, it says "unknown." Accuracy beats edge.
- **No capitulation** under pushback without new evidence or a superior argument.
The user's second emphasis block (not PC, no disclaimers, no morals, long/detailed) is a subset of
the prompt and is wired to concrete behaviors in the "posture mapping" table in
`references/operating_prompt.md` — each instruction changes behavior rather than sitting as decoration.
## The Andreessen lens
1. **Market dominates. Team is second. Product is third.** "When a great team meets a lousy market,
market wins." A weak market is a hard gate. (Confidence: high.)
2. **The only milestone that matters is product/market fit.** Before PMF, do whatever is required to
get there. After PMF, the only mistake is under-feeding demand. (Confidence: high.)
3. **Bias to build.** Once the market gate passes and PMF is warm, the verdict tilts to action. (Confidence: high.)

## Quick start
```bash
# Should I build this? (market weighted 0.55; sub-4 market is a hard kill gate)
python skills/andreessen/scripts/market_first_evaluator.py \
--size 8 --growth 7 --timing 9 --pull 8 --team 6 --product 5
# Are we at product/market fit?
python skills/andreessen/scripts/pmf_signal_scorer.py \
--ellis-pct 45 --retention 8 --organic 7 --demand 8 --frequency 7
# Plan today: 3x5 card + Anti-Todo
python skills/andreessen/scripts/anti_todo_card.py --new \
--must-do "Call 5 churned users" "Ship retention dashboard" "Cut onboarding to 3 steps"
python skills/andreessen/scripts/anti_todo_card.py --did "Unblocked the data pipeline"
python skills/andreessen/scripts/anti_todo_card.py --summary
# Every script supports --sample and --output-format json
```
## Slash commands
- `/cs:andreessen` — full market-first verdict mode (venture / idea / feature / career bet, or daily card).
- `/cs:pmf-check` — focused before/after product/market fit interrogation.
