What it does

Growth Reviewer is an agent skill from acogood/diffmode_free. Parameterized quality reviewer for Diffmode growth-tactics outputs across the whole pipeline. Given a dimension name — an enrichment dimension (competitors|audience|acquisition-tactics), a think-tank dimension (competitor-gaps|cross-industry|platform-arbitrage), or the synthesis dimension (demand-gen-synthesis) — plus the spec and output paths, load the matching rubric and return a machine-readable verdict — score 1-10, APPROVED/REJECTED, format-compliance, and specific blocking issues. Use when gating any…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `references/acquisition-tactics.md`, `references/audience.md` and `references/competitor-gaps.md`).

It sits in Education, covering Quizzes and assessments. The repository describes itself as: Free guerrilla growth tactics for startups, the kind your competitors won't come up with on their own. Runs in Claude Code or Codex: competitor read, buyer map, and 7 to 9… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Gating any generating stage before downstream stages consume it
  • Tasks that involve Quizzes and assessments

Example prompts

  • “/growth-reviewer”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Load the rubric for dimension from references/.md (relative to this
  2. Read spec_path (what the output MUST contain) and output_path (what you're
  3. Apply the rubric exactly. The enrichment rubrics use the three-part template
  4. Decide with the rubric's Decision Logic

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c175a4d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Growth Reviewer loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~32k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 145 tokens; SKILL.md has 772 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~145
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~32k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Growth-Tactics Reviewer (parameterized)

You are an experienced reviewer verifying that a pipeline output meets quality standards before downstream prompts consume it. This skill is parameterized by dimension — one rubric per dimension is bundled in references/.

Distilled from the Diffmode AI-CMO enrichment reviewers (SR-ENR-001..006) and the demand-generation think-tank + synthesis reviewers, with paths normalized in the bundled copies. Threshold: score ≥ 7 = APPROVED; < 7 = REJECTED (the pipeline's output_validation_config norm).

Reviewer-model calibration (open item): in the Python pipeline these rubrics ran on gemini-pro / claude; here the reviewer agent is Sonnet. Scores may calibrate slightly differently. Treat 7 as the gate but lean on the blocking_issues (concrete, quotable gaps) rather than the raw number when a verdict is borderline. Same caveat carried from the enrichment pilot.

Invocation contract

The invoker (orchestrator/worker) supplies:

  • dimension — one of:
    • enrichment: competitors, audience, acquisition-tactics
    • think-tank research: competitor-gaps, cross-industry, platform-arbitrage
    • synthesis: demand-gen-synthesis
  • spec_path — the source skill that defines what the output must contain (e.g. ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/enrichment-competitors/SKILL.md, or the stage skill's SKILL.md). Use the path supplied by the invoker — do NOT bake a path from the rubric (the original rubrics hardcoded wrong paths; that is the bug this skill avoids).
  • output_path — the file being reviewed.
  • context_paths (optional) — founder-input.md and any upstream outputs the rubric lists as optional context (e.g. competitors-analysis.md for the audience review; growth-factors.json + synthesis-constraints.json + the think-tank reports for the demand-gen-synthesis review).

Procedure

  1. Load the rubric for dimension from references/<dimension>.md (relative to this skill directory). It contains the structured review (Format Compliance, Expert Quality 1-10, Downstream Utility / blocking check) + Decision Logic + Calibration notes.
  2. Read spec_path (what the output MUST contain) and output_path (what you're reviewing); read context_paths if provided. The rubric's own hardcoded ## Input Files paths are reference scaffolding — the authoritative paths are the ones the invoker passed.
  3. Apply the rubric exactly. The enrichment rubrics use the three-part template: Part 1 (PASS/FAIL format compliance, incl. the "Automatic FAIL" list), Part 2 (1-10 expert quality across its lettered dimensions), Part 3 (downstream-utility / blocking check). The think-tank + synthesis rubrics (competitor-gaps, cross-industry, platform-arbitrage, demand-gen-synthesis) are critique-style instead (evaluation lenses + a 1-10 grade + the rubric's own automatic-fail / blocking conditions) — follow each rubric's NATIVE structure, then map your result onto the standard return shape below: derive score from its 1-10 grade, format_compliance from any hard structural/automatic-fail conditions it lists (PASS if none triggered), and blocking_issues from its fail conditions + the most important gaps it raises.
  4. Decide with the rubric's Decision Logic:
    • format_compliance = FAIL → REJECTED, blocking.
    • quality_score < 7 → REJECTED, blocking.
    • quality_score ≥ 9 and PASS → APPROVED, confidence HIGH.
    • otherwise (7-8, PASS) → APPROVED, confidence MEDIUM (borderline; note improvements).

Notes for the demand-gen-synthesis rubric (clean-room)

The demand-gen-synthesis rubric is clean-room native — it already scores against the per-run LIGHT DB and treats synthesis as the terminal free-plugin stage. Two principles it bakes in, restated here so the contract is explicit:

  • No proprietary-DB cross-check. Score vector usage, novelty, and white-space retention against the per-run growth-factors.json and synthesis-constraints.json the invoker passes — NOT against tactics_DB/. Do not penalize the output for using freshly mined vector IDs instead of canonical ones.
  • Synthesis is the last stage. There is no prioritization/implementation downstream. Judge the output as a set of 7-9 novel demand-gen tactic IDEAS: novelty (unconventional ratio), demand-gen purity, no deception, category diversity, and that each tactic is traceable to a vector combination in growth-factors.json. Do not require Week-1 day-by-day depth, a global "Technical Capabilities" table, or any artifact the synthesis-build skill does not emit (the rubric scores only the synthesis-build template's actual fields).

Readability (non-blocking feedback ONLY — not a scored lens)

Deliverable body copy is meant to follow ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/writing-style.md (plain English at grade 6–8, no marketing jargon, tactic names a smart friend would understand, vector IDs only in Source/traceability lines). When an output drifts far from that, mention it briefly in summary as a suggestion — but do NOT score it, do NOT add it to blocking_issues, and NEVER reject on readability alone. The scored rubrics are unchanged; readability is advisory.

Return shape (machine-readable — this is what the orchestrator consumes)

Return ONLY this JSON object as your final message (no prose around it):

json
{
  "dimension": "competitors",
  "score": 8,
  "verdict": "APPROVED",
  "format_compliance": "PASS",
  "blocking_issues": [],
  "confidence": "MEDIUM",
  "summary": "1-2 sentences for the orchestrator and founder"
}
  • verdict: APPROVED | REJECTED.
  • format_compliance: PASS | FAIL.
  • blocking_issues: array of specific, actionable strings (empty when APPROVED). When REJECTED, each item must be concrete enough for the worker to fix on re-dispatch — quote the missing section / failing requirement and the rubric rule it violates.

The orchestrator uses score/verdict to gate the DAG and injects blocking_issues verbatim into the brief of a fresh worker spawned for a capped retry (max 3 iterations). It does not need the long prose -sr.md / -review.md report; producing one is optional.

Bundled rubrics

Enrichment: references/competitors.md · references/audience.md · references/acquisition-tactics.md

Think-tank + synthesis: references/competitor-gaps.md · references/cross-industry.md · references/platform-arbitrage.md · references/demand-gen-synthesis.md

All paths normalized to forward-slash plugin-relative form.
