buyer-personas

buyer-personas is a skill for Claude Code from stefanoskarakasis/Product-Marketing-Skills. It costs 94 tokens per session (3,309 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A buyer-persona skill maps the people who approve, support, review, use, or can block a business purchase before creating messaging profiles for them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use customer research or a guided intake to map a business buying committee and create alternatives-based profiles for roles that need different messages.

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

buyer-personas 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 today.

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.

Buyer Personas — Skill

How This Works

Enterprise B2B purchases aren't made by personas — they're made by committees. A messaging deck built for one buyer title routinely misses the person who can actually kill the deal. This skill maps power first (who approves, who champions, who can veto, who just uses the thing) and only then builds messaging personas from that map — Dunford-structured, anchored to named alternatives, ready to feed straight into positioning-messaging.

It reads your brain's ICP and alternatives (Sections 2 and 3) instead of starting cold, and it compounds the way every other skill in this repo does — one row per session in /context/skill-sessions.md — not through a separate knowledge or decisions system of its own.

Step 0 — Load brain Sections 2 (ICP) and 3 (Alternatives), and any guardrail from /context/meta-patterns.md fired 2+ times.

Step 1 — Gather input: research data if provided, or run a structured 5-question intake if none exists.

Step 2 — Map the committee: identify roles by behavior, not title, and extract kill pattern / champion pattern / messaging gap for each.

Step 3 — Build messaging personas: one card per role that needs differentiated messaging, each anchored to named alternatives.

Step 4 — Deliver both outputs, then hand off to positioning-messaging with an explicit note on which persona is primary.

Step 5 — Learning Close: log the session to /context/skill-sessions.md.


Trigger

  • When: Mapping who's actually involved in a B2B purchase decision, or building persona cards to feed into positioning and messaging work.
  • Not for: Positioning statement or messaging hierarchy itself → positioning-messaging, run after this skill. Segment selection among multiple candidates → beachhead-segment. Deep ICP research (demographics/behaviors/JTBD/needs at the org level, not committee-level) → ideal-customer-profile, run before this skill if the ICP itself is still thin.
  • Example prompts:
    • "Map our buying committee for enterprise deals"
    • "Who do we need to win over to close this?"
    • "Build persona cards for our sales enablement deck"
    • "Our deals keep stalling in legal — who's actually involved?"
