What it does
B2b Sales Constraint Diagnosis is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Diagnose the single B2B sales constraint currently limiting pipeline or revenue and route to the right repair workflow. Use when sales feels stuck, pipeline is weak, leads ghost, outbound is not working, conversion is unclear, or the team is debating whether to fix reach, messaging, follow-up timing, or trust.
Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.
The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Sales feels stuck
- Pipeline is weak
- Outbound is not working
- Conversion is unclear
Example prompts
- “/b2b-sales-constraint-diagnosis”
Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Reach - the right people do not know the company exists.
- Resonance - the right people see the company but do not connect it to a
- Timing - buyers know and understand the company, but the company is not
- Trust - qualified buyers engage but do not feel enough certainty or risk
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3e1456a. 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 (its code samples are markdown).
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.
Compatibility
Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
B2b Sales Constraint Diagnosis loads about 988 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 408 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

B2B Sales Constraint Diagnosis
Use this skill to find the sales bottleneck before recommending tactics. The goal is to identify the one constraint that is throttling the current sales system, then route work to the most relevant repair skill.
Source Traceability
Primary source: Unf*ck Your Sales by Jakob Greenfeld. Authoring notes used the sections "Our Map, Lens, and Compass", "The One Sentence Sales Course", "Invert, Always Invert!", "The Theory of Constraints", and "Putting It Together".
Constraint Model
Diagnose in this order:
- Reach - the right people do not know the company exists.
- Resonance - the right people see the company but do not connect it to a painful problem, concrete outcome, and credible mechanism.
- Timing - buyers know and understand the company, but the company is not present when pain becomes urgent.
- Trust - qualified buyers engage but do not feel enough certainty or risk reduction to take action.
Only one constraint should be treated as primary at a time. Everything else is secondary until the primary constraint is fixed or disproven.
Diagnostic Workflow
- Restate the current sales symptom and stage:
- No awareness or no replies.
- Replies but poor recall or weak understanding.
- Interest but no urgency or inconsistent timing.
- Qualified calls, proposals, or trials that stall or ghost.
- Check for basic evidence before diagnosing:
- Target segment or account list.
- Recent outreach or visibility activity.
- Message or offer being used.
- Lead, meeting, close, and ghosting data.
- Run the constraint checks:
- Reach: Have enough named buyers in the target market been reached at least once?
- Resonance: Can target buyers explain what the company does, who it is for, and what problem it solves?
- Timing: Has every viable buyer seen or heard from the company in the last 4-6 weeks?
- Trust: Do qualified buyers close at an acceptable rate once they engage?
- Pick the weakest proven constraint. If evidence is missing, recommend the smallest diagnostic test rather than guessing.
- Route next work:
- Reach problem: use
b2b-reach-engineering. - Resonance problem: use
b2b-resonance-audit. - Timing problem: use
b2b-timing-engine. - Trust problem: use
b2b-trust-engineering.
- Reach problem: use

## Next Diagnostic Or Repair
- Use skill:
- First action:
- Success signal:
- Do not optimize yet:Quality Bar
- Do not prescribe tactics before naming the constraint.
- Do not optimize messaging, follow-up, funnels, or close tactics if the market has not actually been reached.
- Do not diagnose rejection when the market may simply be unaware.
- Do not work on multiple bottlenecks at once unless the user explicitly wants a broad audit.
- Treat missing evidence as a diagnostic task, not permission to guess.
