deal-coach is a skill for Claude Code from octavehq/lfgtm. It costs 120 tokens per session (4,067 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A per-deal sales coaching plan delivered as a self-contained web page. It uses the Resonate, Elevate, Compel method: confirm the buyer's problem, create urgency, and support a decision to act.

In plain words

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

deal-coach 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 263 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/octave:deal-coach — Per-Deal Coaching Microsite

Generate a coaching plan for a specific deal, rendered as a scrollable, self-contained HTML coaching microsite and grounded in your Octave GTM intelligence. This is the doc a rep opens before their next call, or a manager hands a rep to coach the deal forward.

The methodology is Resonate → Elevate → Compel:

Stage Objective
Resonate Drive awareness — get the buyer to agree the problem is real and worth solving
Elevate Drive urgency — disrupt the status quo, differentiate on value
Compel Drive action — build the business case, enable the champion

The output is built around six jobs, not a kitchen-sink of sections: (1) where this deal stands, (2) where the buyer's head is, (3) what to do now, (4) the path to close, (5) top risks, (6) practice and what good looks like. The full spec — job order, density caps, groundedness rules, and the review checklist — lives in coaching-microsite-sections.md. The CSS and HTML skeleton live in html-scaffold.md.

The crown-jewel move: find_motion_icp({ ..., includeLearnings: true }) returns a salesMethodology block for the matched persona × segment cell, with Resonate / Elevate / Compel stages, each carrying Buyer Mindset, Value Propositions, and Talking Points. That maps almost 1:1 onto the coaching jobs. This is what makes the plan read as "only Octave could write this," not a generic methodology handout.

How this differs from neighboring skills:

  • /octave:pipeline gives live-deal next-step strategy (rescue a stalled deal, multi-thread). This produces a coaching plan organized around the methodology stages.
  • /octave:train is generic practice (role-play, quiz) on your GTM. This is deal-specific and stage-structured.
  • /octave:meeting-prep is a battle plan for one upcoming meeting. This coaches the whole stage of the deal.

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.
