The repository describes itself as: Production-ready collection of GTM agents and specialized skills for claude code. Covers sales, marketing, customer success, and revenue operations workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Developing hooks
  • Copy variations for paid campaigns across channels

Example prompts

  • “/creative-variants”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Hook Library – benefit, problem, proof, story, contrarian, curiosity.
  2. Format Matrix – channel x format (video, carousel, single image, text ad) with unique requirements.
  3. Story Formula – Hook → Value Proof → CTA; adapt for each channel.
  4. Voice & Tone – align with persona (executive vs practitioner) and funnel stage.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78e0419. 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

Creative Variants loads about 329 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 146 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~329

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.
