evp-craft

evp-craft is a skill for Claude Code from cmj-hub/claude-evp. It costs 59 tokens per session (986 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing aid that creates three value-proposition options for one buyer-awareness level. An EVP, or employee value proposition, is a short statement of why a target audience should choose an offer; here, the input uses the term for a broader value proposition.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft three outcome-led, tradeoff-led, or audience-specific EVP variants when the audience’s awareness level and supporting details are known.
Why use it?
Messages can miss the buyer’s current understanding or rely on vague benefits. Generating variants around a defined audience, problem, outcome, tradeoff, and proof helps keep the message focused.

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-craft 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 yesterday.

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 Craft — sub-skill

Generates 3 EVP variants for a specific awareness tier.

Activation

Loaded by evp on:

  • "Write an EVP for "
  • "EVP for solution-aware prospects"
  • "Tier 3 EVP"

Workflow

1. Lock the awareness tier

Ask the user which Schwartz tier (1-5). If they don't know, walk them through the 5-tier table from ../../evp/SKILL.md and ask: "Which describes your audience right now?"

Most B2B buyers are in Tiers 2-4. If the user says "Tier 5," push back — that's product-team thinking, not buyer-where-they-are thinking.

2. Capture the inputs

Required:

  • icp — specific ICP segment
  • psp_pain — pain in the prospect's vocabulary (from claude-psp)
  • outcome — specific result you deliver
  • tradeoff — obvious tradeoff you spare them
  • proof (optional) — case study / metric backing it

If PSP is missing, suggest the user run claude-psp first. EVPs without a PSP are guesses.

3. Generate 3 variants

Each variant uses the shape but with different emphasis:

Variant A — outcome-led

"For , in , we're the that does without ."

The outcome carries the line. Use when the outcome is differentiated and concrete (e.g., "ships 14 qualified meetings in 30 days").

Variant B — tradeoff-led

"For , in , we're the team that hits WITHOUT ."

The tradeoff carries the line. Use when the tradeoff is the elephant-in-the-room reason the audience hesitates (e.g., "without hiring 2 more SDRs" or "without sacrificing self-serve").

Variant C — ICP-led

" in use us when they want without ."

The ICP carries the line. Use when the audience is hyper-niche and you want immediate exclusion-by-segment (signals fit fast).

4. Validate each variant

Run the self-check:

Check Pass criterion
Word count ≤22
Outcome specificity A concrete noun + metric, not a verb like "improve"
Tradeoff specificity A concrete thing they'd otherwise have to give up
ICP named Segment is specific enough to exclude wrong-fit
Pain vocabulary Uses their words from the PSP, not category jargon
Tier-appropriate Matches the awareness tier (no Tier-5 line for a Tier-2 audience)

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.
