What it does

Customer Success Management is an agent skill from cbrock84/headcount. Runs the ongoing relationship with accounts after the sale — segmenting coverage against account value, building a health score that predicts rather than describes, running reviews customers find worth attending, forecasting renewals honestly, and finding expansion that follows usage instead of quota. Use this to design a customer success motion, decide who gets a named contact, work out why renewals surprise you, or fix a health score everyone ignores.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Sales & Support, covering Customer success. The repository describes itself as: An agent organization structured as a company — 15+ departments, 125+ skills, each independently installable, citing the standards and regulators that settle the question. Runs… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Customer success

Example prompts

  • “/customer-success-management”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98d1c17. 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.

    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

Customer Success Management loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 702 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~121
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

description
Runs the ongoing relationship with accounts after the sale — segmenting coverage against account value, building a health score that predicts rather than describes, running reviews customers find worth attending, forecasting renewals honestly, and finding expansion that follows usage instead of quota. Use this to design a customer success motion, decide who gets a named contact, work out why renewals surprise you, or fix a health score everyone ignores.

Customer success management

This is the motion that keeps accounts, as distinct from diagnosing why they leave — for the churn analysis itself, see revenue:retention. The failure this discipline exists to prevent is finding out at renewal.

Segment coverage before hiring anyone

Coverage is a cost decision and it should be made explicitly rather than by whoever shouts.

  • Named coverage for accounts where the revenue justifies a person and the relationship is genuinely complex. Fewer accounts per person than instinct suggests — a manager with sixty accounts is running a queue, not a relationship.
  • Pooled coverage for the middle: a team owning a segment, working from signals rather than from a calendar.
  • Programmatic coverage for the long tail: in-product guidance, lifecycle messaging, and self-service. This is not a lesser tier, it is the only one that scales, and it usually deserves more investment than it gets.

Assign by what the account needs, not only by what it pays. A large account that is live, stable and happy needs less than a small one mid-implementation.

Build a health score that predicts something

Most health scores are a weighted average of whatever was available, colored red to green, and trusted by nobody. A useful one is built backwards: take accounts that churned and accounts that renewed, and find what actually differed six months out.

  • Usage depth and breadth — how many people, how often, how many of the things they bought.
  • Trajectory over level. An account at 60% of expected usage and rising is healthier than one at 90% and falling. Level tells you where they are; direction tells you where they are going.
  • Relationship coverage — how many people you know, and whether your only contact is the person who bought.
  • Support and escalation history, weighted by severity rather than volume.

Validate it against outcomes and recalibrate. A score that did not predict last year's churn should not be steering this year's attention.

The single-threaded account is the most common avoidable loss

When one person is your entire relationship, their departure is your renewal risk, and it arrives with no warning. Track how many contacts each account has and treat single-threading as an actionable condition rather than a fact of life.

Make reviews worth the customer's hour

A business review that presents usage statistics back to the customer wastes both parties' time. The ones people attend cover what they set out to achieve, where they actually are against it, what is in the way, and what changes next — with the customer talking for at least half of it.

Frequency should follow value and risk, not a uniform quarterly cadence applied to everyone.

Forecast renewals like a pipeline, because that is what it is

Renewal forecasting is more predictable than new business and is often done worse, because everything is assumed to renew until it does not.

Start the renewal conversation far enough ahead that a problem is still fixable — for an annual contract that is months, not weeks. Track renewals in stages with entry criteria, and separate gross retention from net so expansion cannot mask a leak underneath it.

Auto-renewal is a billing mechanism, not a relationship. An account that auto-renewed while disengaged is next year's churn with a delay.

Expansion follows usage, not quota

The credible expansion conversation comes from something observable: they hit a limit, adopted the thing that leads to the next thing, added a team. Expansion pushed on a quota calendar into an account that has not realized its original purchase is how a renewal gets lost while chasing a smaller number.

Tooling

Customer success platforms: Gainsight, Totango, ChurnZero, Vitally, Planhat, and similar. They earn their cost once you have more accounts than a person can hold in their head and product usage data worth joining to the account record — before that, the CRM plus a usage query does the job.

Renewal and expansion tracking belongs in the CRM alongside new business, not in a separate system, or the forecast will exist twice and disagree.

Never

  • Run a health score nobody has validated against actual outcomes.
  • Let an account stay single-threaded without naming it as a risk.
  • Open the renewal conversation inside the notice period.
  • Report net retention without gross retention beside it.
