What it does

Go To Market Strategy is an agent skill from manojbajaj95/claude-gtm-plugin. Comprehensive go-to-market strategy and launch execution skill. Use when planning a product launch, feature announcement, market entry, or release strategy. Activates for: go to market, GTM, product launch, launch strategy, launch plan, launch execution, launch marketing, GTM playbook, launch readiness, technical launch, beta launch, early access, waitlist, Product Hunt, feature release, announcement, how do I launch this, launch checklist, we're about to ship, market entry, startup GTM, PLG vs sales-led, GTM…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `references/CHECKLISTS.md`, `references/GUIDE.md` and `references/TEMPLATES.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Go-to-market strategy and Product launch strategy. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Planning a product launch
  • Feature announcement
  • Release strategy

Example prompts

  • “/go-to-market-strategy”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Market Positioning
  2. Messaging & Content
  3. Channel Strategy (ORB)
  4. Launch Timeline
  5. Metrics & Success Criteria

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0830a46. 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

Go To Market Strategy loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 152 tokens; SKILL.md has 938 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~152
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~10k

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.

Comprehensive go-to-market strategy and launch execution skill. Use when planning a product launch, feature announcement, market entry, or release strategy. Activates for: go to market, GTM, product launch, launch strategy, launch plan, launch execution, launch marketing, GTM playbook, launch readiness, technical launch, beta launch, early access, waitlist, Product Hunt, feature release, announcement, how do I launch this, launch checklist, we're about to ship, market entry, startup GTM, PLG vs sales-led, GTM motion, launch marketing pack, press outreach, developer product launch.

Go-to-Market Strategy

Workspace Context

Read bootstrap context before asking questions: strategy/brand.md for brand, audience, offer, channels, tools, constraints, and metrics; about/me.md for personal voice; content/ideas.md and content/calendar.md for content planning. Use legacy product-marketing context files only as fallback. Save generated drafts to content/<platform>/drafts/YYYY-MM-DD_short-topic-slug.md, and route durable learnings back to strategy/brand.md, about/me.md, or content/ideas.md.

Operating Contract

This skill is self-contained for its frontmatter scope: use its local instructions, references, scripts, and assets as the playbook; ask only for missing task-specific inputs; hand off to adjacent skills instead of expanding scope; and return an actionable artifact, decision, plan, draft, or diagnostic.

End-to-end GTM playbook: motion selection, positioning, channel strategy, phased launch execution, launch marketing, and technical product launches.


Core Philosophy

A launch is a campaign, not an event. Build momentum before launch, peak at launch, sustain after. The best companies don't launch once — they launch again and again.


GTM Motion Selection

MotionBest ForKey Lever
PLGSMB, developers, low ACV (<$5K)Free → paid conversion
PLG + Sales-AssistMid-market, $5K-$25K ACVPQL → SQL routing
Sales-LedEnterprise, complex product, >$25K ACVRelationship, champion
Community-LedDeveloper tools, OSSCommunity adoption
Partner-LedGeographic expansion, enterprisePartner incentives

Quick decision:

ACV < $5K and self-serve possible? → PLG
Buyer technical? → Developer/community-led
Everything else? → Sales-led

5-Phase GTM Strategy

Phase 1: Market Positioning

Define ICP, positioning, and messaging using the marketing-strategy skill before executing launch phases.

Validate: target customer defined, differentiation identified, tested with 5+ customers.

Phase 2: Messaging & Content

Message hierarchy:

  1. Headline — Core benefit in 5-10 words
  2. Sub-headline — How it works or who it's for
  3. 3 Key Benefits — Feature → benefit
  4. Social Proof — Testimonials, logos, metrics
  5. CTA — Clear next step

Content to create: Launch blog post · Product demo video (2-3 min) · Landing page · Email announcement · 5-10 social posts

Phase 3: Channel Strategy (ORB)

Owned (highest ROI — build these first): Email list · Blog/SEO · Branded community

Rented (speed, not stability): Twitter/X · LinkedIn · YouTube · Reddit — use to drive to owned

Borrowed (shortcut to audiences): Guest posts · Podcast interviews · Influencer partnerships · Co-marketing

Strategy: Use rented/borrowed to drive traffic, capture into owned.

Phase 4: Launch Timeline

6-Week Launch Timeline:

  • Week -6: Finalize messaging, create content, set metrics
  • Week -4: Build waitlist, draft emails, reach out to press/influencers
  • Week -2: Tease on social, send "coming soon" emails, final QA
  • Week 0 (Launch Day): Publish landing page + blog, post to Product Hunt 12:01 AM PT, send launch email, share on socials, monitor and respond
  • Week +1: Share testimonials, post case studies, analyze metrics
  • Week +2: Post-launch analysis, plan ongoing marketing
Phase 5: Metrics & Success Criteria

Define BEFORE launch:

  • Awareness: Website visitors, social impressions
  • Acquisition: Signups, trial starts, purchases
  • Activation: Users completing core action
  • Revenue: MRR, conversion rate

Multi-Phase Launch Approach

PhaseGoalKey Actions
InternalValidate functionalityTest with friendly users, fix major issues
AlphaFirst external validationLanding page, waitlist, invite individually
BetaScale early access + buzzWork through waitlist, tease problems you solve
Early AccessValidate at scaleLeak details, usage data, PMF survey
Full LaunchMaximum visibilityOpen signups, start charging, all channels live

Product Hunt Launch

Before launch day: Build relationships with supporters, optimize listing (tagline, visuals, demo video), engage in communities.

On launch day: Treat as all-day event. Respond to every comment. Drive traffic back to site to capture signups.

After: Follow up with all who engaged. Convert PH traffic into email signups.

Case study — Reform: studied successful launches, polished visuals, community engagement pre-launch → #1 Product of the Day.

Technical Product Launches

For developer tools, APIs, SDKs, and technical infrastructure:

Launch Tiers
TierTypeTimelineInvestment
1 — MajorNew product/GA12-16 weeksHigh
2 — StandardNew features/integrations6-8 weeksMedium
3 — MinorUpdates/patches2-4 weeksLow
Developer-First Principles
  1. Documentation is non-negotiable — Don't launch without a getting started guide + API reference + 3+ code samples
  2. Show, don't tell — Actual code > marketing copy
  3. Interactive > passive — Playground > demo video > screenshots
  4. Community-first — Answer Stack Overflow, engage GitHub, respond on Hacker News
Primary Developer Channels

Dev docs · GitHub/GitLab · Developer blog · API changelog · Dev.to · Hacker News · Reddit · Discord/Slack · YouTube tutorials

GTM Execution Checklist

Pre-Launch
  • Landing page with clear value proposition and waitlist capture
  • Owned channels established (email list, blog)
  • 1-2 rented channels with profiles optimized
  • Borrowed channel opportunities identified
  • Launch assets created (screenshots, demo video, social posts)
  • Onboarding flow tested
  • Analytics and tracking live
Launch Day
  • Announcement email sent
  • Blog post published
  • Social posts live
  • Product Hunt listing active (if using)
  • In-app announcement for existing users
  • Team ready to engage and respond
Post-Launch
  • Onboarding email sequence active
  • Comparison pages published
  • Roundup email includes announcement
  • Feedback collected and triaged
  • Next launch moment planned

Common GTM Mistakes

  • Launching without audience — Build email list first
  • One-day launch, then silence — Plan 30 days of post-launch activity
  • Everything everywhere — Pick 2-3 channels, do them well
  • No success metrics — Define goals before launch
  • Features not benefits — "You can achieve X" beats "We have feature X"
  • Over-promising — Ground claims in real evidence

  • sales-and-revenue-operations — Sales team, RevOps, ICP
  • pricing-strategy — Pricing decisions
  • marketing-strategy — Product marketing, positioning, and competitive intelligence
