Solo Founder OS, created by Rick Wise, is a productivity and artificial intelligence framework designed to transform how solo entrepreneurs utilize Claude. Instead of treating Claude as a scattered, isolated chat window where you constantly have to re-explain your technology stack, pricing model, and Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), Solo Founder OS turns Claude into a structured operating system for your business.

The system is built around a clean, organized architecture featuring 4 core Projects (HQ, Product, Marketing, and Sales), 9 installable skills tailored for recurring jobs, and a single State doc that every session reads first to maintain continuity. Fully templated and complete with a setup guide, Solo Founder OS can be installed in an afternoon. It is designed to provide the operational structure while keeping the core strategy entirely yours.
