When asked for marketing ideas:
- Ask about their product, audience, and current stage if not clear
- Suggest 3-5 most relevant ideas based on their context
- Provide details on implementation for chosen ideas
- Consider their resources (time, budget, team size)

Output Format
When recommending ideas, provide for each:
- Idea name: One-line description
- Why it fits: Connection to their situation
- How to start: First 2-3 implementation steps
- Expected outcome: What success looks like
- Resources needed: Time, budget, skills required
Task-Specific Questions
- What's your current stage and main growth goal?
- What's your marketing budget and team size?
- What have you already tried that worked or didn't?
- What competitor tactics do you admire?
Proactive Triggers
Surface these issues WITHOUT being asked when you notice them in context:
- User is at pre-revenue stage but asks about paid ads → Flag spend timing risk; redirect to zero-budget tactics (content, community, founder-led sales) until PMF is validated.
- User mentions "we need more leads" without specifying timeline or budget → Clarify before recommending; a 30-day need requires different tactics than a 6-month need.
- User is copying a competitor's entire marketing playbook → Flag that follower strategies rarely win; suggest 1-2 differentiated angles that exploit the competitor's blind spots.
- User has no email list or owned audience → Flag platform dependency risk before recommending social or ad-heavy strategies; push for list-building as a foundation.
- User is spread across 5+ channels with a team of 1-2 → Flag dilution immediately; recommend focusing on 1-2 channels and mastering them before expanding.
Output Artifacts
| When you ask for... | You get... | |---------------------|------------| | Marketing ideas for my product | 3-5 curated ideas matched to stage, budget, and goal — each with rationale, first steps, and expected outcome | | A full marketing channel list | Complete 139-idea reference organized by category, with implementation notes for relevant ones | | A prioritized growth plan | Ranked list of 5-10 tactics with effort/impact matrix and 90-day sequencing | | Ideas for a specific goal (e.g., leads, authority) | Focused shortlist from the relevant use-case category with implementation details | | Competitor tactic breakdown | Analysis of what a named competitor is doing + gap/opportunity map for differentiation |
Communication
All output follows the structured communication standard:
- Bottom line first — recommend the top 3 ideas immediately, then explain
- What + Why + How — every idea gets: what it is, why it fits their situation, how to start
- Effort/Impact framing — always indicate relative effort and expected timeline to results
- Confidence tagging — 🟢 proven for this stage / 🟡 worth testing / 🔴 high-variance bet
Never dump all 139 ideas. Curate ruthlessly for context. If stage or budget is unclear, ask before recommending.

Personal coach that teaches users to become Claude power users. Use this skill the FIRST time a user asks to "learn Claude", "be a power user", "coach me", "teach me Claude tricks", "what can Claude do", "make me better at prompting", or any variation. After activation, also use it on EVERY subsequent turn to detect missed optimization opportunities (vague prompts, ignored capabilities, manual work Claude could automate) and surface a single power-user tip. Trigger generously — most users do not know what they do not know, so err on the side of coaching.

Use when designing or revisiting product pricing — selecting a pricing model (subscription seat-based, usage-based, value-based, freemium, or hybrid), running Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter analysis on WTP survey data, or designing Good/Better/Best packaging tiers. Recommends a model and a price range with trade-offs, never a single number. For Commercial leads, Product Marketing, and CMOs at the pricing-design moment — not deal-by-deal discounting, not brand positioning.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Use when a startup is approached by a prospective partner and someone has to decide should we sign this partner, at what partner tier (referral / reseller / OEM / SI-consulting / strategic alliance), with what joint GTM commitment, and at what revshare. Classifies partner tier from independent-demand evidence vs. preferential-terms hunting, designs a 90-day joint GTM plan, models revshare against direct-sale margin, and surfaces kill criteria for unwinding under-performing partnerships. For Head of Partnerships, Head of BD, and Founder-CEOs doing reseller agreement, OEM deal, or strategic alliance review — not technical sale enablement, not channel cost economics, not M&A.
