Introducing Hexmont Skills: Expert Frameworks, Freely Installable

There is a version of expertise that sits behind NDA walls, billable hours, and introductions that require introductions. It compounds quietly for the people with access. Everyone else figures it out slowly, expensively, and often too late.

We built Hexmont Skills because we think that is the wrong model.

What Skills Are

Hexmont Skills are expert frameworks published directly to your AI agent. One command installs the full catalog into Claude Code, Cursor, or any compatible agent:

npx skills add hexmont.com

Once installed, the skills are available as context whenever you need them. Ask your agent about QSBS eligibility for a new round, how to structure a board package, or how to diagnose why your operations aren’t compounding — and it will reason from Hexmont’s actual frameworks, not a generic synthesis of the internet.

This is built on the Agent Skills open standard. It works the same way a package manager works: a discovery endpoint at hexmont.com/.well-known/skills/index.json tells your agent what’s available and how to use it.

The Initial Catalog

We are publishing three skills to start.

QSBS covers Qualified Small Business Stock under IRC §1202 — the single most significant tax advantage available to early-stage founders, employees, and investors. Eligibility requirements, the 100% federal exclusion, stacking strategies, common pitfalls (including California’s non-conformity), and a due diligence checklist that most tax attorneys won’t give you for free.

Board Operations covers the operational infrastructure of a high-functioning board. Composition by stage, meeting cadence, the exact structure of a board package that directors will actually read, how to run executive session, and the governance documents that need to exist before the first outside director joins.

Operational Excellence covers the transition from reactive to autonomous operations. A 4-level maturity model, metric architecture (North Star → Driver → Operational → Health), OKR design that produces outcomes instead of activity, process documentation that changes behavior, and a diagnostic framework for identifying whether your operational problem is a clarity failure, a measurement failure, an accountability failure, or a system failure.

More skills are in development: cap table management, M&A process, ontology design, and technical concept communication.

Why We Do This

Hexmont Group is a venture studio and technology partner. Our business is the guided engagement — the deep work that turns frameworks into outcomes for the companies we build alongside.

But the frameworks themselves belong in the world.

Publishing our skills is our proof of work. It demonstrates, concretely, what we know and how we think. It is more honest than a case study and more useful than a white paper. If the free version is this good, the guided version is what builds companies.

We are not here to talk about it.
