What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a698e8. 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

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

Cmo Advisor loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 915 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Troubleshooting

ProblemLikely CauseFix
Blended CAC increasing quarter over quarterChannel saturation or scaling into less efficient channelsRun channel_mix_optimizer.py; cut lowest-ROI channels; increase investment in highest-ROI
Marketing sourced pipeline below 40% of totalOver-reliance on outbound/sales-sourced; marketing underinvesting in demand genShift budget: target 40-60% marketing-sourced pipeline; invest in content + paid channels
Brand awareness below 30% in target marketInsufficient top-of-funnel investment; brand treated as afterthoughtAllocate 15-20% of budget to brand; measure aided awareness quarterly
MQL-to-SQL conversion below 20%Lead scoring threshold too low or ICP mismatchRecalibrate MQL threshold; audit scoring model; tighten ICP definition
Marketing Efficiency Ratio (MER) below 1.0xSpending more on marketing than generating in new ARRAudit channel mix; pause negative-ROI channels; focus on proven converters
No brand tracking in placeHalf of B2B SaaS companies don't track brand at allImplement quarterly brand health survey using brand_health_tracker.py framework

Success Criteria

  • Marketing Efficiency Ratio (MER) above 1.5x -- every $1 of marketing generates $1.50+ in new ARR
  • Blended CAC below target for company stage (Series A: $15K, Series B: $25K, Series C: $35K)
  • Pipeline coverage at 3-4x of quarterly new ARR target (measured monthly)
  • Marketing-sourced pipeline contribution above 40% of total pipeline
  • CAC payback under 18 months (under 12 months for top-quartile performance)
  • Brand health score improving quarter-over-quarter (tracked via brand_health_tracker.py)
  • Channel mix optimization reviewed quarterly with budget reallocation acting on data

Scope & Limitations

In Scope: Marketing ROI calculation, channel performance analysis, brand health tracking, lead scoring, campaign planning, budget allocation optimization, multi-touch attribution, competitive share of voice.

Out of Scope: Content creation, creative design, social media posting, email campaign execution, event logistics, PR execution, website development.

Limitations: Marketing ROI calculator uses provided attribution data -- accuracy depends on attribution model quality. Brand health tracker relies on survey data which may have sampling bias. Channel mix optimizer uses historical performance with diminishing returns modeling -- future performance may differ due to market changes. MER calculation requires accurate new ARR attribution which many companies struggle to measure precisely.
