What it does

Prd V10 Testimonial Collector is an agent skill from mattgierhart/PRD-driven-context-engineering. Systematically harvest short testimonials from customers via NPS, milestones, post-purchase, and email during PRD v1.0 Market Adoption. Triggers on requests to collect testimonials, set up social proof harvest, gather customer quotes, or when user asks "how do we get testimonials?", "social proof harvest", "NPS responses", "testimonial wall", "customer quotes", "post-purchase survey", "milestone follow-up". Outputs CFD-TST- testimonial entries and GTM-TST- placement assets.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k 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 Product & Project Management, covering PRD writing, Project management and Customer feedback analysis. The repository describes itself as: PRD-Led Context Engineering — Memory as Infrastructure. An ontology layer for product teams building products that solve real problems — with AI agents that remember. Gated PRD… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Requests to collect testimonials
  • Set up social proof harvest
  • Gather customer quotes
  • User asks how do we get testimonials?

Example prompts

  • “how do we get testimonials?”
  • “social proof harvest”
  • “NPS responses”
  • “/prd-v10-testimonial-collector”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify collection triggers — Each trigger is an event that suggests the customer is in a moment to share positive feedback
  2. Build per-trigger collection mechanism
  3. Process incoming testimonials — Each goes through
  4. Place in marketing surfaces — Per testimonial
  5. Measure placement performance [standard+] — Some testimonials convert; some don't. Track per-placement conversion to identify which quotes…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 30ed1b0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep

    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

Prd V10 Testimonial Collector loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,045 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~128
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k

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.

Testimonial Collector

Position in workflow: v1.0 Case Study Builder → v1.0 Testimonial Collector → GTM channels (placement)

Execution Mode

Default is standard. See .claude/rules/08-skill-execution-modes.md for selection logic.

ModeWhat this skill produces
quickOne trigger (e.g., NPS promoters) + collection email + 5–10 testimonials processed
standard3 triggers (NPS, milestone, post-purchase) + processing workflow + consent management + per-placement formatting
deep5+ triggers + automated harvest + sentiment-segmentation + per-segment placement targeting + measurement loop

What This Does

Systematically harvests short-form testimonials — 1–3 sentence quotes with name + role + logo — and processes them into placement-ready assets. Testimonials are the lower-effort complement to case studies: they don't carry a full story but they multiply social proof on landing pages, pricing pages, ad creative, and outreach.

This skill solves the "we have happy customers but no quotes" problem — most teams have plenty of positive feedback in support tickets, NPS responses, and renewal calls, but never capture it as marketing-ready assets. The fix is a system, not heroic effort.

How It Works

  1. Identify collection triggers — Each trigger is an event that suggests the customer is in a moment to share positive feedback:
    • NPS Promoter response (score 9–10) — Lowest-friction; they already wrote feedback
    • Activation milestone (Day 30 / Day 90 active) — They've seen value by now
    • Post-purchase / post-upgrade — Decision fresh in mind
    • Renewal — Strong signal of ongoing value
    • Support resolution (positive) — Acute "you saved my day" moment
    • Referral from customer — They already advocated
  2. Build per-trigger collection mechanism:
    • NPS Promoter → automated email asking permission to use response + adding 1-question follow-up
    • Milestone → in-app prompt or email with one-line ask
    • Post-purchase → email 7 days after purchase
    • Renewal → CSM-led ask during renewal call
    • Support → followup in support thread after positive resolution
  3. Process incoming testimonials — Each goes through:
    • Consent confirmation (scope: name? role? logo? use anywhere?)
    • Light edit for clarity (their voice; don't rewrite)
    • Tag by segment fit (in-beachhead / adjacent / off-segment)
    • Tag by outcome theme (speed / cost / activation / quality / etc.)
  4. Place in marketing surfaces — Per testimonial:
    • Pricing page (logo + quote)
    • Landing page hero (1 prominent quote)
    • Feature pages (segment-relevant quotes)
    • Ad creative (testimonial-style ads)
    • Email signatures / sales decks
    • Investor decks
  5. Measure placement performance [standard+] — Some testimonials convert; some don't. Track per-placement conversion to identify which quotes earn their spot.

Example

B2B SaaS, 3 collection triggers active.

Trigger 1: NPS Promoter (9–10). NPS run quarterly. Promoters get followup email:

Thanks for the 10! Your response — "Cut our reporting time in half" — would be a powerful testimonial for our pricing page. May we use it with your name and role? Reply YES and we'll send back the version we'd publish for your approval.

Auto-fires when NPS response submitted with score ≥ 9.

Trigger 2: Day-30 active milestone. In-app prompt at first login after Day 30 active:

You've been active for a month! In one sentence, what's working best? → [text box] → [Submit + permission checkbox]

Trigger 3: Post-purchase (Day 7). Email 7 days after first paid charge:

Quick favor — what convinced you to upgrade? Your answer might appear (with your permission) on our pricing page.

Processing: Inbound testimonials enter a triage doc. Per testimonial:

  • Consent confirmed (scope: name / role / logo / anywhere)
  • Light edit (clarity only — kept their voice)
  • Segment tag (in-beachhead: yes/no)
  • Theme tag (speed / cost / activation / quality)
  • Placement decision (pricing / landing / feature page / ad / multi)

Placement: Pricing page logo wall expanded with 6 new testimonials in the beachhead segment. A/B test the hero-section quote on landing pages.

What You Get Back

  • CFD-TST-* entries — One per testimonial; the durable record with consent, source, segment, theme
  • GTM-TST-* entries — Per-placement formatting (the placed quote with surrounding context)
  • Consent records — Customer-by-customer scope and version history
  • Placement-performance log — Per-quote conversion rate (which testimonials earn their spot)

Consumes

  • CFD-* customer feedback (all sources, especially v0.9 feedback loop) — Raw inbound testimonial material
  • NPS / CSAT data (from v0.9 Feedback Loop Setup) — Promoter responses are the highest-yield source
  • ADO-REF-* candidates — Reference accounts already in cultivation are testimonial-eligible
  • PER-* personas + ADO-BEACHHEAD-* — Segment tagging
  • BR-POS-* — Tone constraints; testimonials shouldn't contradict positioning

Produces

  • CFD-TST-* entries in SoT/SoT.customer_feedback.md
  • GTM-TST-* entries (with Type=Testimonial-Placement) per placement
  • Consent records — Append-only log with scope and version
  • Placement-performance metrics — Per-quote A/B data feeding back into selection

Anti-Patterns

PatternSignalFix
Heroic one-time harvest"We collected 20 testimonials in a sprint, then stopped"Triggers run continuously; harvest is a system, not a project
No consent recordPublishing without explicit approvalConsent record per testimonial, scope-explicit
Marketing rewrite"I love [product]" rewritten from "It's pretty useful"Light edits for clarity only; their voice
No segment taggingAll testimonials placed everywhereSegment-relevant placement converts better; tag and target

Quality Gates

Before placing testimonials:

  • Consent on record (scope explicit)
  • Customer name + role + logo (or rationale for less)
  • Segment tag applied
  • Theme tag applied
  • Light edit only (their voice preserved)
  • Placement matches segment fit (in-beachhead testimonials for pragmatist surfaces)
  • BR-POS-* constraints honored (no contradiction with positioning)
  • Refresh cadence committed (quarterly minimum)
