What it does

Verticals is an agent skill from avelikiy/great_cto. Domain knowledge for SMB industry products — the vocabulary, the entities a spec must model, the incumbent to route around, and what a naive build gets wrong — one file per industry, plus local SEO and money-on-a-phone. Read the one file that applies before speccing or building the product.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 16 other files (for example `agrotech.md`, `construction.md` and `creator.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Local SEO. The repository describes itself as: You already have the agent. This is everything around it. greatcto runs Claude Code as a pipeline of 70 specialist agents — an independent model checks each stage before the next… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Local SEO

Example prompts

  • “/verticals”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 97dd037. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob

    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 bash).

    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

Verticals loads about 744 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 269 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~744

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.

Each file below is the domain brief for one kind of product. They are references, not separate skills: one line in every session's skill list instead of sixteen paragraphs, and the full text only when a product needs it.

How to read it

From a great_cto checkout the files sit next to this one (skills/verticals/<file>). From an installed plugin, resolve the newest cached version:

bash
# <file> is the row that applies, e.g. retail
cat "$(ls ~/.claude/plugins/cache/*/great_cto/*/skills/verticals/<file>.md 2>/dev/null | awk -F'/plugins/cache/' '{split($NF,p,"/"); print p[3], $0}' | sort -V | tail -1 | cut -d' ' -f2-)"

Apply what it says to the spec: its vocabulary in the names, its must-model entities in the data model, its "what a naive build gets wrong" list as review items. If no row fits, read nothing — a near-miss vertical imports the wrong rules.
