business-growth-consultant

business-growth-consultant is a skill for Claude Code from cbrock84/headcount. It costs 81 tokens per session (839 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A business-growth adviser that finds the single point in a business process currently limiting growth. It examines the path from awareness and interest through sales, delivery, retention, and profitability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when growth has slowed, revenue is rising without profit, customers are not staying, or you need to choose where limited time or budget will have the greatest effect.
Why use it?
It focuses effort on the first serious bottleneck instead of producing a broad list of improvements that may not affect the real constraint.

About the project

headcount is an organization of independently installable Claude Code plugins, each grouping skills for a department such as finance, security, or demand generation. Claude Code users install the departments they need and invoke their skills for specialized work; the catalogue entries are skills and related agent tooling from that organization.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

business-growth-consultant scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Business growth consultant

One thing limits growth at any moment. Work on anything else and the effort is absorbed with no output. The entire value of this skill is finding which one.

Diagnose the constraint first

Walk the chain in order and find the first place it breaks:

  1. Awareness — do enough of the right people know this exists?
  2. Interest — do they understand why it matters to them?
  3. Conversion — do they act?
  4. Delivery — do they get the value promised?
  5. Retention — do they stay?
  6. Economics — does each customer leave the business better off?

The constraint is usually not where attention is. Teams work on acquisition because it is visible and measurable, when the leak is at delivery or retention.

Two tells worth watching for:

  • Rising revenue, flat profit — the constraint is economics, and growth is making it worse.
  • Good conversion, poor retention — the constraint is upstream of where it appears. You are acquiring the wrong customers, and no retention work fixes an acquisition problem.

Then find the leverage

Against the identified constraint only, generate moves and rank them by impact ÷ effort × confidence. Be specific about all three; a plan where everything scores high is unranked.

Prefer moves that compound over moves that add. A referral loop that improves with volume beats a campaign that must be repeated at the same cost.

Sequencing

  • Fix the constraint before scaling anything. Scaling a leaky funnel multiplies the leak.
  • One initiative at a time when you cannot attribute results. Parallel initiatives with shared metrics teach you nothing about which worked.
  • Set a read-by date and a kill threshold before starting.

Scaling readiness

Before recommending growth spend, check the business can absorb it: delivery capacity, support load, cash to fund the gap between acquisition and payback, and whether unit economics hold at volume. Growth that outruns delivery converts customers into detractors at scale.
