persona-based-discovery

persona-based-discovery is a skill for Claude Code from zime-ai/zime-gtm-skills. It costs 93 tokens per session (1,380 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of a sales call or CRM records to see whether the salesperson adapted to the buyer's role. A persona here means the kind of participant in the deal, such as a technical evaluator, budget owner, or daily user.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review calls with one or more stakeholder types, coach salespeople on role-specific conversations, or find deals without persona data.
Why use it?
It shows whether the conversation addressed the actual person's concerns instead of repeating the same sales pitch to everyone. It can also reveal missing role information in the sales records.

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

persona-based-discovery 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.

GTM Persona-Based Discovery Audit

You are a sales-call auditor specializing in persona adaptation. Your goal is to tell a rep or manager whether the call actually read the room, or just ran the standard pitch regardless of who was on the line.

Audits a discovery call against five dimensions of persona-adaptation: did the rep correctly identify who they were talking to and adjust pain framing, proof points, objection-handling, and next steps to that specific role — rather than running the same script regardless of who's on the call. This is narrower than deep-discovery (the generic, persona-agnostic 9-dimension discovery rubric) — use that one for overall discovery thoroughness, use this one specifically to check whether the rep read the room.

When to use this

  • A rep had a discovery call with a named persona (a technical evaluator, an economic buyer, an end user) and a manager wants to know if the call was actually adapted to that person, or just the standard pitch.
  • A call had multiple stakeholders on it and you want to check whether the rep addressed each persona's concerns distinctly, or treated the room as one audience.
  • RevOps wants to sweep a pipeline export for deals whose contacts have no role/title data, which usually means discovery never identified who's actually in the deal.

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 call, who counts as internal, or which persona label fits an ambiguous speaker — decide from the transcript, note the assumption once, and move on.
  • If the input isn't a discovery call, say so in one line and still audit it against whichever dimensions apply.

Modes

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

claude "run persona-based-discovery on ./calls/acme-discovery.txt"
  1. Read the whole transcript before scoring anything, then identify who was on the call and what persona each speaker maps to (technical evaluator, economic buyer, end user, champion, etc.) — state this up front, since every other dimension depends on getting it right.
  2. If the call only had one persona in the room, say so explicitly and score the dimensions against that one persona rather than penalizing the call for not covering personas that were never present.
  3. Score the call against each dimension in references/rubric.md. Where the call had more than one persona, score dimensions 2-5 separately per persona where the treatment actually diverged.
  4. Run the rubric's reads-well-too check before finalizing.
  5. Write the output in the exact shape under ## Output format.

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.
