Expert Validator - Expert Secrets Scorecard
Assess positioning, authority, and messaging against Expert Secrets principles. Expose weak positioning that makes people look like everyone else.
Brunson's Principle: "You don't need to be the most qualified—you need to be the most positioned."
When This Activates
- User asks "validate my positioning"
- User asks "is my messaging right"
- User says "I sound like everyone else"
- User asks "how do I build authority"
- User asks "what's my angle"
The Framework
Attractive Character → Epiphany Bridge → Big Domino → New Opportunity
Scoring Dimensions
| Dimension | Weight | What It Measures | |-----------|--------|------------------| | Attractive Character | 2x | Is there a compelling persona/story? | | Origin Story | 1.5x | Is there a powerful epiphany bridge? | | Big Domino | 2x | Is there one core belief to shift? | | New Opportunity | 1.5x | Is it framed as new vs. improvement? | | Authority Signals | 1x | Are credentials/proof established? | | Differentiation | 1x | Do they stand out from competitors? |
Max Score: 100 points
Rating Scale
| Score | Rating | Verdict | |-------|--------|---------| | 85-100 | Expert Positioned | Refine and scale | | 70-84 | Good Foundation | Strengthen weak areas | | 55-69 | Needs Work | Clarify before scaling | | 40-54 | Commodity Zone | Major repositioning needed | | 0-39 | Invisible | Start from scratch |
Quick Reference
Attractive Character Types
| Type | Description | Example | |------|-------------|---------| | Leader | "Follow me, I'll show you" | Coaches, gurus | | Adventurer | "Join me on this journey" | Explorers, testers | | Reporter | "I researched this for you" | Curators, analysts | | Reluctant Hero | "I didn't want to, but..." | Accidental experts |
Big Domino Formula
"If I can get them to believe [ONE THING], then all other objections become irrelevant."
New Opportunity vs. Improvement
| Improvement (Weak) | New Opportunity (Strong) | |-------------------|-------------------------| | "Better marketing" | "A new way to get customers" | | "Faster results" | "A different approach entirely" | | "We're like X but better" | "Skip the old method" |
Integration
| Skill | When to Use |
|-------|-------------|
| expert-architect | Build positioning from scratch |
| copy-validator | Validate positioning translates to copy |
| offer-validator | Validate offer matches positioning |

shipshitdev/worktree
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Create an isolated git worktree from the correct base branch and check it out into a clean, gitignored directory. Use when the user asks to make a worktree, spin up a parallel/isolated workspace, work on something without disturbing the current checkout, branch off the current work, or run multiple agents on the same repo at once. Picks the base branch smartly — the current feature branch when you are on one, otherwise the develop integration branch — so worktrees continue your in-progress work by default instead of forking from the wrong place.

shipshitdev/release-cleanup
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Verify a release was fully promoted through develop, staging, and master/main, then prune merged local and remote branches and stale git worktrees. Squash-merge aware — uses GitHub PR merge state as the merge oracle, not commit ancestry. Use when the user asks to clean up branches after a deploy, prune worktrees, remove merged branches, tidy up after promoting develop to staging to master, or confirm nothing stale was left behind before pruning.

shipshitdev/finishing-a-development-branch
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Structured "done coding, now what?" workflow: verify tests pass, detect the repository environment (normal repo vs worktree, named branch vs detached HEAD), present exactly the right merge / PR / keep / discard options, and execute the chosen path including safe worktree cleanup. Use when implementation is complete and the branch needs to be integrated, published, or abandoned.

shipshitdev/feature-intake
tools
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Capture a client or stakeholder feature request, turn it into a planner-ready PRD epic with scoped sub-issues, check for duplicate work, and place approved issues on a GitHub Projects kanban. Use when a user invokes feature intake, asks to turn a rough client requirement into GitHub issues, or wants an idea written as a PRD and pushed to a board.
