What it does

Thought Leadership is an agent skill from gtmagents/gtm-agents. Use when crafting executive POVs, visionary articles, or keynote narratives that elevate brand authority.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

  • Crafting executive POVs
  • Visionary articles
  • Keynote narratives that elevate brand authority

Example prompts

  • “/thought-leadership”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define Thesis – articulate the bold statement ("The Future of X") and supporting pillars.
  2. Evidence Mix – gather proprietary data, customer proof, analyst references, and analogies.
  3. Narrative Arc – hook → tension/problem → future vision → proof → call to action.
  4. Voice & Tone – confident, data-backed, forward-looking; avoid product pitches until conclusion.
  5. Derivative Assets – break the narrative into short-form snippets, Q&A, slides, social clips.

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

Thought Leadership loads about 367 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 155 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~367

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.

Thought Leadership Skill

When to Use

  • CEO/CMO needs a compelling POV on industry trends.
  • Preparing conference keynotes, op-eds, or LinkedIn long-form posts.
  • Launching a category narrative or market education campaign.

Framework

  1. Define Thesis – articulate the bold statement ("The Future of X") and supporting pillars.
  2. Evidence Mix – gather proprietary data, customer proof, analyst references, and analogies.
  3. Narrative Arc – hook → tension/problem → future vision → proof → call to action.
  4. Voice & Tone – confident, data-backed, forward-looking; avoid product pitches until conclusion.
  5. Derivative Assets – break the narrative into short-form snippets, Q&A, slides, social clips.

Templates

  • POV outline capturing hook, market shift, pillars, proof, CTA.
  • Executive summary sheet:
Statement of belief
Evidence (3 bullets)
Implications for buyers
Recommended next move
  • Thought-leadership storyboard for keynotes/interviews.

Tips

  • Anchor each pillar with a fresh data point or customer vignette to avoid generic takes.
  • Pair exec ghostwriters with SMEs to balance polish and authenticity.
  • Pre-brief PR/AR teams so earned channels echo the same thesis.
  • Schedule derivative content drops (LinkedIn, podcasts, slides) to extend momentum.
