bullseye-traction-channels

bullseye-traction-channels is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from deciqAI/knowledge-skills. It costs 87 tokens per session (678 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for finding which customer-acquisition channel works for a startup. It considers 19 channels, such as search engines, content, advertising, sales, partnerships, events, and communities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare marketing channels, test ways to get customers, set a customer-acquisition cost target, and focus a limited growth budget on the best-performing channel.
Why use it?
Startups often spend too much time and money on a familiar channel without checking whether another works better. This replaces guesswork with small, timed tests and evidence.

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

bullseye-traction-channels 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 12d 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.

Bullseye — Find the One Traction Channel That Works

Overview

From Traction (Weinberg & Mares, 2014): most startups die from lack of distribution, not product, and they fail because they over-invest in one favored channel instead of systematically testing across all of them. The Bullseye framework cycles through 19 traction channels (SEO, content, paid, virality, sales, partnerships, community, PR, events, etc.), runs cheap tests, and concentrates on the one channel that is currently working.

When to Use

  • No repeatable customer-acquisition channel yet
  • Effort sunk into one channel out of habit/comfort
  • Reallocating a limited growth budget

The Process

  1. Brainstorm all 19 channels — a realistic idea for each, including ones you'd dismiss. Gate: skipping "unlikely" channels is how you miss the one that works.
  2. Rank into three rings: inner (promising now), middle (possible), outer (long shots).
  3. Run cheap parallel tests on the inner ring — small, time-boxed, with a target CAC/response bar defined up front.
  4. Read the data, not your preference — which test hit the bar?
  5. Pick one channel and focus — double down on the single working channel; ignore the rest for now. Gate: spreading across 3+ channels pre-fit = none get enough to work.
  6. Re-run when the channel saturates — channels decay; cycle Bullseye again.

Applying It Well

  • Test to a pre-set success bar so results are decisive, not vibes.
  • One working channel is usually enough to reach the next stage.
  • Founder bias toward a comfortable channel is the most common failure.

Red Flags

  • Committing to a channel before testing it.
  • "Doing a bit of everything" and nothing at scale.
  • No CAC/response threshold set before the test.

Verification

  • All 19 channels considered, ranked into three rings
  • Inner-ring tests run with a pre-set success bar
  • Decision made on data, not preference
  • Focus concentrated on the single working channel

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.
