ideal-customer-profile

ideal-customer-profile is a skill for Claude Code from stefanoskarakasis/Product-Marketing-Skills. It costs 89 tokens per session (3,091 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-based method for describing an ideal customer profile, meaning the type of customer most likely to gain lasting value from a product. It uses surveys, interviews, usage data, and win-or-loss notes across customer traits, behaviour, goals, and needs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyse customer research, identify the strongest customer group, define its profile, and update the relevant section of the shared product context.
Why use it?
It replaces a profile based mainly on opinion with one grounded in evidence and keeps the result in the existing shared reference.

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

ideal-customer-profile 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 11d 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.

Ideal Customer Profile

How This Works

An ICP built from opinion is a guess with a template around it. This skill builds one from evidence — survey responses, interview transcripts, usage data, win/loss notes — synthesized across four layers: who they are (demographics), how they decide (behaviors), what they're hiring your product to do (Jobs to Be Done), and what's actually broken for them (needs). It deepens your brain's existing Section 2 in place rather than creating a second ICP file — one source of truth stays intact for every downstream skill.

Step 0 — Load brain Section 2 (current ICP, however thin) and any guardrails from /context/meta-patterns.md.

Step 1 — Gather and segment: collect available research, then identify which customer cohort actually has the value — highest retention, fastest time-to-value, best expansion — since that's who the profile should describe, not just "whoever we have."

Step 2 — Profile across the four layers: Demographics, Behaviors, JTBD, Needs.

Step 3 — Deepen brain Section 2 with the profile (on user confirmation).

Step 4 — Learning Close: log the session to /context/skill-sessions.md.


Trigger

  • When: Defining or sharpening who you sell to from research data — PMF surveys, interview transcripts, usage analytics, win/loss notes — or when brain Section 2 is firmographic-only with no behavioral or JTBD layer.
  • Not for: Choosing among several candidate segments once the ICP is profiled → beachhead-segment, run after. Turning a confirmed ICP into positioning or messaging → positioning-messaging, run after. Full brain build from zero → product-marketing-context, run first if no brain exists at all.
  • Example prompts:
    • "Build my ICP from our PMF survey data"
    • "Here are 8 customer interviews — define our ideal customer"
    • "Who are our best-fit customers? I have usage and churn data."
    • "Our ICP is just company size and industry. Go deeper."
