YC Apply
Complete the requested application task using the founder's facts and the current YC form. Work can start with one answer, a review, video notes, a submission pack, or reapplication; it need not traverse every coaching phase.
Workspace and context
Keep founder data in the separate workspace they chose. Resolve --workspace/--resume, YC_APPLY_WORKSPACE, or an existing 00_meta.md; ask only when no unambiguous location is known. <skill-dir> is this skill's directory, not the workspace. Create the authorized workspace with scripts/bootstrap-workspace.sh; preserve existing files and resume instead of overwriting them.
Use the existing layout: 00_meta.md, 01_form-spec.md, founder/narrative notes, optional 04_research/, 05_drafts/, 06_video/, 06_gate.md, optional 07_interview/, 08_final/, and milestone journal. These are artifact locations, not prerequisites for every task. Legacy --phase numbers may select the corresponding task; they no longer impose a sequential gate.
Capture/verify the live form in 01_form-spec.md for a full application or submission check. Bundled batch forms are dated snapshots, not current authority. A single-answer edit can use the supplied field and limit without a full form-research pass.
