cvs

AI business strategy for coding agents — 19 investor-grade frameworks from a single business idea. As easy as git.

git ships the code. cvs ships the business case.

Your agent can build the product — but when a VC asks for the TAM, the unit economics, or the competitive moat, it has nothing. CanvasSaaS is the strategy layer your agent runs itself: one install, and it generates SWOT, Business Model Canvas, financial forecasts, and a shareable investor deck — sourced, structured, and ready to defend. No browser, no signup form, no human in the loop.

Works with: Claude Code · Cursor · Cline · Windsurf · Aider · Codex · any MCP client

The 19 frameworks

Every framework is generated from your business idea with live market research, cited sources, and institutional-grade methodology — DCF assumptions, LTV/CAC, 12-dimension competitive scoring.

cvs frameworks                  # list all 19
cvs frameworks --detail swot    # schema + methodology for one

From idea to investor deck

cvs generate --all "SaaS payroll automation" --venture payroll
cvs deck create payroll
# → shareable deck URL — 21 slides, email-gated if you want

Your agent hands the VC a link, not a promise.

Chat with 30 strategy experts — free

Every framework has a resident expert backed by financial-analysis, equity-research, and private-equity skill trees.

cvs chat "How defensible is my moat?" --framework porters
cvs chat "What DCF assumptions fit a pre-revenue SaaS?"

Built agent-first

• Self-service signup — cvs signup returns an API key, no email verification loop

• --json everywhere — every command is machine-readable

• Config chain — --key flag > CVS_API_KEY env > ./.cvs/ > ~/.cvs/ (per-project pinning)

• Credit-gated, not paywalled — agents request top-ups from their human with cvs topup "reason"

• cvs init — drops a ready-made skill block into your agent's CLAUDE.md
