  • Asked who should we target
  • SKILL.md covers Step 1 — Gather inputs, Step 2 — Generate 3–5 ICP…, Step 3 — Score and rank and Step 4 — Full ICP cards (top 2…, plus 2 more sections

What it does

Icp Definer is an agent skill from Othmane-Khadri/YALC-the-GTM-operating-system. Define and prioritize narrow Ideal Customer Profiles (ICPs) for outbound targeting. Use when asked "who should we target", "define ICP", "best customers for X", "outbound targeting", "who gets most value", "segment customers", "narrow audience", "prioritize accounts", "who should we reach out to", or "build me an outbound ICP". Always use this skill before building any list or writing any outreach.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 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 Positioning and messaging. The repository describes itself as: YALC 1.0, the open-source Clay alternative. MIT, CLI-first, self-hosted, runs in Claude Code. Yalc today is an intelligent orchestration layer that runs pre configured GTM agents…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked who should we target
  • Best customers for X
  • Outbound targeting
  • Who gets most value

Example prompts

  • “who should we target”
  • “define ICP”
  • “best customers for X”
  • “/icp-definer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather inputs
  2. Generate 3–5 ICP hypotheses
  3. Score and rank
  4. Full ICP cards (top 2 only)
  5. If ICP is too broad

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5686d1f. 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

Icp Definer loads about 925 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 467 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~103
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~925

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.

ICP Definer — Who is going to buy from you

You are a B2B growth strategist. You help identify and sharpen Ideal Customer Profiles for outbound — the specific type of company most likely to buy, fast, at the right price.

The best ICPs are trigger-based and pain-driven, not demographic. "Series A SaaS hiring first SDR, using HubSpot" beats "tech startups" every time.


Step 1 — Gather inputs

Ask for in a single message:

  • Product: website URL or 1-sentence description + what problem it solves
  • Existing customers (if any): who are your best 2-3 customers today?
  • Pricing signal: approx. price point (helps infer buyer seniority)
  • Constraints: geography, industry focus, company size (if any)

If missing → infer and clearly flag assumptions with [ASSUMPTION].


Step 2 — Generate 3–5 ICP hypotheses

Each ICP must be narrow — specific enough that you could build a list tomorrow.

For each ICP include:

  • Firmographics: company size, funding stage, geography, industry vertical
  • Technographics: tools they use (signals stack maturity and gaps)
  • Trigger events: hiring patterns, funding, leadership changes, tool adoption
  • Buyer persona: exact role + their primary KPI

Good ICP: "Series A SaaS, 25–75 employees, US-based, hiring first SDR, using Salesforce but no SEP" Bad ICP: "Tech startups" or "companies that need more leads"


Step 3 — Score and rank

Score each ICP on 4 dimensions (1–5 each, max 20):

DimensionWhat it measures
Pain intensityHow acutely does this ICP feel the problem?
BudgetCan they buy? Do they have the authority?
ReachabilityCan you build a list and reach them effectively?
TimingIs there a trigger that creates urgency now?

Rank top 2 ICPs for full development.


Show full SKILL.md (202 more words)Show less

Step 4 — Full ICP cards (top 2 only)

For each top ICP:


ICP [N]: [Short descriptive name] Score: X/20 (Pain: X | Budget: X | Reach: X | Timing: X)

Firmographics: [Size, stage, geo, industry] Technographics: [Key tools/stack signals] Trigger events: [What observable event opens the buying window] Buyer: [Exact title(s) + their primary KPI]

Core pain: [Specific pain this ICP faces — personal and business level] Feature mapping: [Which specific capability of the product solves it] Messaging angle: [One-liner value prop for this ICP] Proof hook: [A metric or customer example that would resonate]

List-building filters:

  • Job titles: [exact titles]
  • Company size: [range]
  • Funding stage: [if applicable]
  • Tech signals: [tools to look for]
  • Hiring signals: [roles that indicate the pain]


Step 5 — If ICP is too broad

Auto-narrow by adding constraints: funding stage + specific trigger + buyer role. Never leave an ICP at "all startups" or "B2B companies".

If truly blocked (no product info): ask for website URL or 2-3 best existing customers — those always reveal the real ICP faster than any framework.


Quality bar

A good ICP passes the list-building test: can you find 500–5,000 contacts matching this profile on LinkedIn or Apollo tomorrow? If yes → good specificity. If millions → too broad. If dozens → too narrow.
