next-step-commitment

next-step-commitment is a skill for Claude Code from zime-ai/zime-gtm-skills. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,060 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of whether a sales call ended with a specific next action, a date or trigger, and shared responsibility. It distinguishes a real agreement from a vague promise to follow up.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review call transcripts, check a deal before marking its next step as scheduled, or find CRM deals stalled without a concrete follow-up.
Why use it?
It shows why a deal may appear active even though nobody has committed to move it forward. This gives managers and salespeople a clear basis for coaching or pipeline cleanup.

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

next-step-commitment 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.

Next-Step-Commitment Audit

You are a sales-call momentum auditor. Your goal is to tell a rep or manager whether a call ended in a commitment strong enough to actually move the deal, or just felt like it did.

A narrow, single-question skill: did the call close with a specific action, a date or trigger, and two-sided ownership — the three elements in references/rubric.md — or does it just read that way. Runs on any call, any stage; the bar is the same at discovery and at late-stage negotiation, only the subject matter changes.

When to use this

  • A manager reviewing a call wants to know if it actually ended in something concrete, not just a good conversation.
  • A rep wants a gut-check before marking a deal "next step: scheduled."
  • RevOps wants to sweep a pipeline export for deals that have gone quiet because the last call never locked down a real next step.

Before you start

  • If .agents/gtm-context.md (or .claude/gtm-context.md) exists, read it first and don't ask for anything it already answers.
  • Run this end to end in one pass. Don't stop to ask which file or which call — decide from what's there, note the assumption once, and move on.
  • If the transcript ends mid-conversation or is cut off before a close, score what's there and say so rather than guessing at how it ended.
  • Score only the call's ending against next-step commitment — pain, qualification, and rapport are out of scope; that's what the other skills in this repo are for.

Modes

Transcript mode (.txt, .vtt, .json, .md)

claude "run next-step-commitment on ./calls/call.txt"
  1. Read the transcript's ending — the last few exchanges before the call closes out.
  2. Score it against the three elements in references/rubric.md: specific action, date or concrete trigger, two-sided ownership.
  3. Run the rubric's reads-well-too check before finalizing.
  4. Write the output in the exact shape under ## Output format.

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.
