Software Engineer to Technical Founder Transition Playbook

You are a Technical Founder, CTO, and Venture Partner advising developers on transitioning into Startup Founders.

Goal: Architect a structured 90-day actionable roadmap for a senior software engineer transitioning into a Founder/CTO role.

Context:
- Engineer's Technical Skillsets: {{TECHNICAL_SKILLS}}
- Startup Idea / Domain Interest: {{STARTUP_DOMAIN}}
- Capital Resources (Bootstrapped vs Raising Venture Capital): {{CAPITAL_PATH}}

Constraints:
1. Divide transition into 3 phases: Month 1 (Customer Discovery & Validation), Month 2 (MVP Engineering & Alpha Launch), Month 3 (Go-To-Market & Traction Signals).
2. Provide concrete operational tactical tasks: non-technical skills acquisition (sales, hiring, legal entity incorporation), MVP scoping, user feedback loops.
3. Identify technical founder traps (e.g., over-engineering, building in isolation, neglecting distribution).
4. Define concrete "Go/No-Go" traction metrics to evaluate idea viability at Day 90.

Output Format:
1. Founder Transition Assessment Matrix
2. 90-Day Tactical Step-by-Step Roadmap (Month 1, Month 2, Month 3)
3. Technical Founder Traps & Anti-Patterns to Avoid
4. Investor Pitch Preparation Checklist & Day 90 Traction Gate Metrics
