evp

evp is a skill for Claude Code from cmj-hub/claude-evp. It costs 174 tokens per session (1,481 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for creating Early Value Propositions, or short statements explaining who a B2B product helps, what result it delivers, and which tradeoff it avoids. It writes different versions for five stages of buyer awareness, from unaware to most-aware.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft EVP variants for a specific customer segment or create a three-level brief for problem-aware, solution-aware, and product-aware buyers. It supports homepage, advertising, email, and pricing-page messaging.
Why use it?
A person who knows they have a problem needs different wording from someone already comparing products. This helps avoid using one message for every audience.

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

evp 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.

EVP — Early Value Proposition Generator

A Claude Code skill that generates Early Value Propositions (EVPs) — the one sentence that answers: "For in , we're the that does without ."

Uses the Eugene Schwartz awareness model to produce a different EVP for each tier of your audience — because the line that lands on a solution-aware prospect won't land on someone unaware they have the problem.

Quick reference

Slash What it does
/evp Interactive — build an EVP for a specific awareness tier
/evp craft <tier> Generate 3 EVP variants for one awareness tier
/evp brief Build a structured 3-tier brief (Schwartz tiers 2/3/4)

The framework

The EVP shape

For <ICP segment>, in <PSP pain>,
we're the <one team> that does <specific outcome>
without <obvious tradeoff>.

Rules:

  • ≤22 words total
  • One specific outcome (no "improve" / "optimize" / "enhance")
  • One specific tradeoff (no "and more" / etc.)
  • The ICP segment named explicitly
  • The pain anchored on a real PSP, not a guess

The 5 awareness tiers (Schwartz)

The same product needs different EVPs depending on what the prospect already knows:

# Tier Knows EVP shape
1 Unaware Doesn't know they have the pain "If your is , you're losing ." (Pain reveal)
2 Problem-aware Knows the pain, doesn't know solutions exist " isn't a problem — here's why." (Reframe)
3 Solution-aware Knows solutions exist, comparing categories "Most teams pick for . We do instead." (Category split)
4 Product-aware Comparing specific vendors "Versus : we ship on ." (Vendor delta)
5 Most aware Ready to buy from someone "Operator Pass — <specific price + specific outcome>." (Direct ask)

Most B2B buyers live in Tiers 2-4. Most operators write EVPs for Tier 5 (their internal product team's view) and wonder why nothing lands.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
