+# Bounce — brief
+
+**Seed:** [@bounceidc tweet, 2026-07-12](https://x.com/bounceidc/status/2076312794279125005)
+> "HE STARTED BILLING $15K A SITE THE MOMENT SIX SKILLS SAT IN HIS CLAUDE — same
+> claude everyone opens, but before he types a single word of a brief there are
+> six specialized skills already running in context, each one owning a piece of
+> the site, so the model never has to guess." (blue-verified, 61s video)
+
+- **Client / brand:** Bounce (@bounceidc) — personal brand selling a productized
+  web-dev *method*, not a SaaS. The pitch: premium websites built fast because
+  six specialized Claude skills are pre-loaded before the brief is even written.
+- **Outcome / "high value":** a conversion landing / funnel for a **$15K-a-site**
+  offer. Job of the page: make a skeptical founder believe the "six skills →
+  no-guessing → premium site" method is real, and book a call. Lead-gen for a
+  high-ticket service is the value.
+- **What we build:** a single-page marketing site — hero hook, the six-skills
+  system explained (each skill owns a piece of the build), the offer ($15K,
+  fixed, fast), how-it-works, a "proof it works before you see it" verify angle,
+  and a CTA (book / waitlist). Email capture posts to a local endpoint; no send.
+- **The six skills (mapped to the real ACCELERATOR.md pipeline, truthful):**
+  1. **Brief** — turns a link into a scoped one-paragraph spec (Intake)
+  2. **Direction** — picks the look from real references, not blind (Design)
+  3. **Scaffold** — stands the gitified project up with house rules baked in
+  4. **Build** — implements the brief through senior engineering
+  5. **Verify** — six-way self-healing proof before anyone sees it
+  6. **Launch** — one-switch-from-live, gated handoff
+- **Constraints:** brand = confident, terminal/AI-native, premium-but-plain
+  (the tweet's own voice: lowercase, direct, no fluff). No real domain yet.
+  Nothing deployed / public until Steve's go.
+- **House-rule note:** this is a marketing landing, not a product grid or admin
+  surface, so the sort+density-slider and admin-created-date rules don't apply
+  (they govern catalogs/admin cards). Standard rails still apply: gitified,
+  `.gitignore`, atomic commits, `$0 (local)` cost, deploy/DNS gated.
+
+## Status
+- [x] Intake + brief (this file)
+- [ ] Design direction + build landing
+- [ ] Local viewer + /5x verify
+- [ ] Stop for Steve's go before any deploy/DNS/publish

+    <details><summary>why $15k if a model does the work?</summary><p>you're paying for the system and the judgment around it, not keystrokes. the result is a launch-ready, browser-proven site in about a week, fixed-price, with no back-and-forth tax. that's the value — a great site, fast, at a number that doesn't move.</p></details>
+    <details><summary>what do you need from me?</summary><p>a reference and the outcome you want. that's the intake. the brief skill turns it into a spec; you approve the direction; the rest runs.</p></details>
+    <details><summary>who holds the keys?</summary><p>you do. deploy, domain, and go-live are never automatic — the build ships one switch from live and you flip it. you own the code outright.</p></details>
