What it does

Testimonial Request is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Ask happy clients for a testimonial or review the right way — timed well, easy to give, and specific enough to actually persuade future clients. Use when asked to get testimonials, ask for a review, how to request a testimonial, or get social proof from clients. Produces the right moment and channel to ask, a message that makes saying yes effortless, guiding questions that yield specific results-based testimonials (not 'great to work with'), how to handle a written vs video ask, and permission/usage basics —…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Marketing & SEO, covering Marketing psychology. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to get testimonials
  • Ask for a review
  • How to request a testimonial
  • Get social proof from clients

Example prompts

  • “great to work with”
  • “/testimonial-request”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Ask at peak goodwill. Right after a delivered result or a moment of client delight is when a yes (and enthusiasm) is highest.
  2. Make it effortless. Busy clients skip open-ended asks — offer a couple of guiding questions, or even a draft they can edit, and keep it a…
  3. Guide toward specifics. Prompt for the concrete before/after and results; a specific outcome persuades future clients far more than…
  4. Match the format to the value. Written is easy and flexible; video converts harder but asks more — choose deliberately and make the video…
  5. Get clear permission. Confirm you can use it with their name/role/company and where — a testimonial you can't attribute is weaker.
  6. Stay gracious. Confident and appreciative; one polite follow-up if needed, never nagging.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Testimonial Request loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 568 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~144
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

description
Ask happy clients for a testimonial or review the right way — timed well, easy to give, and specific enough to actually persuade future clients. Use when asked to get testimonials, ask for a review, how to request a testimonial, or get social proof from clients. Produces the right moment and channel to ask, a message that makes saying yes effortless, guiding questions that yield specific results-based testimonials (not 'great to work with'), how to handle a written vs video ask, and permission/usage basics — without being pushy or fishing for praise.

Testimonial Request

Testimonials are the highest-converting marketing you have, and most freelancers/businesses never collect them — or collect vague "they were great!" ones that persuade no one. The fix is asking at the right moment, making it effortless, and guiding the client toward a specific, results-focused answer. This does that without feeling like you're fishing for compliments.

What This Skill Produces

  • The right moment & channel — when to ask (right after a win/result) and how (email, call, form)
  • An effortless ask — a message that makes giving a testimonial quick and low-effort, including an offer to draft or prompt
  • Guiding questions — prompts that yield specific, results-based testimonials ("cut our onboarding time in half") instead of generic praise
  • Written vs. video — how to ask for each, and when video is worth it
  • Permission & usage — getting the OK to use it, with name/role/company, and where you'll feature it
  • A graceful tone — confident and appreciative, not needy or pushy

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The client & result — who, and the concrete outcome you delivered
  • The relationship — how warm, and how the project ended
  • What you want — a written quote, a review on a platform, a video, or a case study
  • Where it'll be used — website, proposals, a specific review site
  • Timing — just wrapped, or an older happy client

Framework: Right Time, Easy Yes, Specific Answer

  1. Ask at peak goodwill. Right after a delivered result or a moment of client delight is when a yes (and enthusiasm) is highest.
  2. Make it effortless. Busy clients skip open-ended asks — offer a couple of guiding questions, or even a draft they can edit, and keep it a 2-minute favor.
  3. Guide toward specifics. Prompt for the concrete before/after and results; a specific outcome persuades future clients far more than "highly recommend."
  4. Match the format to the value. Written is easy and flexible; video converts harder but asks more — choose deliberately and make the video ask especially low-effort.
  5. Get clear permission. Confirm you can use it with their name/role/company and where — a testimonial you can't attribute is weaker.
  6. Stay gracious. Confident and appreciative; one polite follow-up if needed, never nagging.

Output Format

Testimonial request: [client] · result [x] · want [written/review/video]

When/where to ask: [peak-goodwill moment · channel]. The message

[Warm, specific to the result, effortless ask + guiding questions or an offer to draft, and where it'll help].

Guiding questions (for specifics): ["what was the problem before?" · "what changed / what result?" · "what would you tell someone considering me?"]. Format note: [written vs video — the ask + effort]. Permission: [OK to use with name/role/company on [placement]]. Tone: appreciative, not needy; one gentle follow-up max.

Quality Checks

  • Times the ask to peak client goodwill
  • Makes giving it effortless (prompts or a draft offer)
  • Guides toward specific, results-based content
  • Chooses written vs video deliberately
  • Secures usage permission with attribution
  • Tone is gracious, not pushy or praise-fishing

Anti-Patterns

  • Asking too late when the goodwill has faded.
  • An open-ended ask that yields "great to work with!"
  • No guiding questions — vague, unpersuasive quotes.
  • Making it high-effort for a busy client.
  • Using it without permission/attribution.
  • Nagging for it.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "How do I ask a client for a testimonial?"
  • "Write a message requesting a review from a happy customer."
  • "Get me a specific testimonial, not just 'they were great'."
  • "Should I ask for a written or video testimonial, and how?"
  • "How do I request a case-study quote after finishing a project?"
