Skill Claude Code
Facilitates the fourth step of a proven ideal-customer (ICP) method: refining classified weaknesses into deal-breakers — the circumstances that disqualify the product outright, no matter how well everything else fits — and mapping the anti-market segments who therefore will never buy. Takes the weaknesses from a…

Facilitates the final step of a proven ideal-customer (ICP) method: synthesizing the working files — strengths and weaknesses, honed keystones, deal-breakers, and inciting events — into CAROL.md, the crisp definition of the ideal customer. The definition leads the file, behavioral and attitudinal, never demographic…
Skill Claude Code
Facilitates the fifth step of a proven ideal-customer (ICP) method: mapping inciting events — the specific trigger moments that move a perfect-fit customer from could-buy-someday to buying-today. Takes a keystones file (K1, K2, … with market segments) and, when available, customer-interview findings; walks the…
Skill Claude Code
Facilitates the third step of a proven ideal-customer (ICP) method: refining classified strengths into keystones — the specific characteristics, behaviors, or circumstances that make a customer NEED an extreme version of a strength, badly enough to drive the purchase alone. Takes a strengths chart (S1, S2, … — file or…
Skill Claude Code
Facilitates the first step of a proven ideal-customer (ICP) method: gathering raw, honest, specific observations about what a company and product actually are — before any judgment about strengths or weaknesses. Walks the user through twelve unsparing question categories (what customers praise, the complaint with no…
Skill Claude Code
Facilitates the second step of a proven ideal-customer (ICP) method: distilling raw company observations into the few deep-truth attributes that matter, then classifying each as a strength, a weakness, or deliberately both. Takes an observations list (O1, O2, … — file or pasted), proposes attributes one at a time with…
Skill Claude Code
Facilitates the learning step of a proven customer-interview method — the recording half: turning raw material from ONE customer conversation (transcript, notes, memory dump) into a brief per-person debrief file, mapped against the numbered interview-question list (Q1, Q2, … with H-number tags). One concise answer per…
Skill Claude Code
Facilitates the first step of a proven customer-interview method: deciding exactly what you're trying to learn, written as numbered goal questions (G1, G2, …) that your hypotheses and interview questions will later be designed to answer. Interviews the user about their business — new idea or established company, B2B…
Skill Claude Code
Facilitates the second step of a proven customer-interview method: recording the user's current best guesses — hypotheses — as numbered, falsifiable statements (H1, H2, …), each mapped to the goal questions it addresses, so interviews can confirm or contradict them instead of confirmation bias quietly filtering what's…
Skill Claude Code
Facilitates the learning step of a proven customer-interview method — the synthesis half: reads a directory of per-interview debrief files against the working HYPOTHESES.md and QUESTIONS.md and proposes evidence-cited updates ONE at a time — double down, tune numbers, mark disproved, park heard-once observations in a…
Skill Claude Code
Facilitates the third step of a proven customer-interview method: translating hypotheses into open-ended, unbiased interview questions — each a miniature experiment designed to test one hypothesis without leading the witness. Two modes: given a single hypothesis, it grills the question into shape and outputs the final…
Skill Claude Code
Facilitates the final step of a proven customer-interview method: distilling everything a round of interviews produced (GOALS.md, HYPOTHESES.md, QUESTIONS.md, and a directory of per-interview debriefs) into a single FINAL-REPORT.md the whole company can use. Top: a summary as brief as possible without losing salient…
Skill Claude Code
Forces a business to pick ONE of the three self-consistent pricing strategies — More for More (the best, priced to match), More for Less (what you need at a reasonable price), or Less for Less (minimal but incredibly affordable) — then align the whole company behind it. Three gated phases: (1) collect the current…
Skill Claude Code
Builds a customer Needs Stack — the ladder in which every need is a means to the end one level up (buy infrastructure → set up a WordPress site → have a personal website → get a book deal). Anchors the level the user's product satisfies, phrased as the customer's own goal in the customer's own words, then walks…
Skill Claude Code
Converts marketing copy — headlines, ads, homepage claims, pitches, positioning statements — into value-first, vivid language: reframes save-time/save-money pitches as create-more-value pitches in the currency the customer measures value, fits each claim to the right level of the customer's needs (features at your…
Skill Claude Code
Scores whether a business idea can become a viable business, walking the path from 'The Problem' to 'Viable Business Model': one specific target market is Fermi-scored on seven multiplying criteria (Plausible, Self-Aware, Lucrative, Liquid, Eager ×2, Enduring), every optimistic number is challenged unless evidence…
Skill Claude Code
Helps a founder build the case for raising prices and the moves that justify it; it drives toward a higher price and does not debate whether to raise. Three gated phases: (1) collect the reality (what you charge, what you promise, who buys) and diagnose which market the price has selected (the…
Skill Claude Code
Interrogates a user's decision, plan, pitch, positioning, target market, pricing, or still-forming idea with sharp, unsparing questions — extended when useful to hostile or even unfair framings — until the plan sharpens into defensible decisions, or the user concludes it isn't a good idea after all. Acts as the…
Skill Claude Code
Distills a person's or company's strengths, experiences, and obsessions down to their one or two VOTERS — the decisive, idiosyncratically extreme traits that win the contest because customers who value them accept every other trade-off. Runs each candidate through a hard gauntlet: extremity earned through obsession…
Skill Claude Code
Interrogates the user to discover who they actually are — what drives them, what drains them, and the natural strengths they can't see because they come so easily — using proven self-discovery prompts (even-as-a-kid, lost-in-the-work, pit-of-my-stomach dread), the anti-questions, and outside-in questions given as…
Skill Claude Code
Maps the desire behind why customers pay and commits to the one or two kinds worth owning, without touching the price number. Three desires, by value: Love (advocates who want you to charge more), Utility (rational ROI buyers), Coercion (trapped against their will). Three phases: (1) map what's TRUE TODAY — walk the…
