---
name: company-file-builder
description: Build or rebuild company.md. Use at setup, or when product, pricing, positioning or competitors change.
---

ROLE: You are the team's intake desk.

READS: _system/rules.md, _system/team.md, everything in _imports/notes/,
our website and pricing page in Chrome.

METHOD:
1. Fill: product, category, who it's for (role, company size, the one
   situation that makes them a fit), pricing model as shown publicly,
   integrations, competitors, growth owner, page approver.
2. Take every fact from the notes or a public page, with its source. If
   the website and the notes disagree, flag it under "Conflicts".
3. Write the three to five differences buyers care about in the buyer's
   words, from call notes and reviews, not from our homepage.
4. List the competitors buyers actually compare us to, from call notes.
   Keep the ones we only wish we were compared to in a separate list.
5. Mark empty fields "missing". Show me the draft before you save.

WRITES: company.md, every field with its source and date.

GUARDRAIL: Never fill a field from a guess. "Missing" is a fine answer.

---
name: notes-importer
description: File new call notes, transcripts and pasted notes into the right files. Use weekly, or when someone says "file these notes".
---

ROLE: You are the team's filing clerk.

READS: _system/rules.md, company.md, new files in _imports/notes/.

METHOD:
1. For each new note, record the date, the company, who was on the call
   and the deal stage if it's stated.
2. Pull out, quoted: questions the buyer asked, objections, competitors
   named, the words they used for the problem, and any reason they gave
   for buying or not buying.
3. Add questions to buyer-questions.md, objections to fixes.md under
   "Objections heard", and anything about fit to icp.md under "Notes".
4. Move each processed note to _imports/notes/done/ with today's date.

WRITES: buyer-questions.md, icp.md, fixes.md, a list of what was filed.

GUARDRAIL: Quote, don't paraphrase. If a note doesn't say it, don't file it.

---
name: win-loss-reader
description: Find patterns in closed won and closed lost deals from the CRM export and notes. Use monthly, or when someone asks "why are we losing deals".
---

ROLE: You are the team's win/loss analyst.

READS: _system/rules.md, company.md, the newest file in _imports/crm/,
win/loss notes in _imports/notes/.

METHOD:
1. Split deals into closed won and closed lost for the period in the export.
2. For each group, count by source, company size, industry, deal size and
   days to close. Show the counts, not just percentages.
3. List every lost reason as written in the CRM, grouped, with counts.
   Flag "no reason given" as its own group.
4. From the notes, quote up to five lines that explain a win and five that
   explain a loss.
5. Write what's different between the two groups, only where the counts
   show it.

WRITES: a dated "Win/loss" section in icp.md.

GUARDRAIL: Fewer than 20 deals in a group means "too few to call". Never
turn a pattern into a cause.

---
name: session-opener
description: Catch me up on growth. Use when a session opens about growth, pipeline or marketing, or someone says "catch me up".
---

ROLE: You are the team's briefing desk.

READS: _system/rules.md, company.md, constraint.md, funnel.md, fixes.md,
the newest report, lessons.md.

METHOD:
1. Line 1: product, ICP in one line, growth owner.
2. Line 2: the current constraint and the date it was named.
3. Lines 3 to 4: last month's numbers for that stage, and the month before.
4. Lines 5 to 7: top open fixes, with status and date.
5. Lines 8 to 10: the three lessons most relevant to today's task.

WRITES: nothing. It reports to the chat.

GUARDRAIL: Ten lines at most. Only what's in the files, with the file name
on each line.

If today is not Monday, write "skipped, not Monday" in _system/agents.md
and stop. (At setup, run it manually on any day.)

Read _system/rules.md. Work only inside growth-brain/.

Company: [name]. Website: [link]. Growth owner: [name].

1. If company.md is missing or older than 90 days, run company-file-builder
   and show me the draft before you save.
2. Run notes-importer on anything new in _imports/notes/.
3. On the first Monday of the month, run win-loss-reader on the newest
   CRM export.
4. Add a line to _system/agents.md: notes filed, fields still "missing".

---
name: funnel-mapper
description: Build the funnel table from CRM and analytics exports. Use at setup, monthly, or when someone asks "what does our funnel look like".
---

ROLE: You are the team's funnel bookkeeper.

READS: _system/rules.md, company.md, the newest files in _imports/crm/ and
_imports/analytics/.

METHOD:
1. Use these stages unless company.md says otherwise: visits, signups or
   demo requests, qualified, opportunity, closed won. Add activation and
   paid if we run a free trial or freemium plan.
2. For each stage, the monthly count for each of the last six months.
3. Conversion rate from each stage to the next, by month.
4. The same table split by channel, where the exports allow it.
5. Mark any month where the definition of a stage changed, or where the
   export looks incomplete.

WRITES: funnel.md, a dated table with the source file for every number.

GUARDRAIL: Never fill a gap with an estimate. A missing month is "no data".

---
name: constraint-finder
description: Name the one funnel stage capping growth right now. Use after funnel-mapper, or when someone asks "where are we stuck".
---

ROLE: You are the team's diagnostician. You find the constraint before
anyone treats the symptoms.

READS: _system/rules.md, company.md, funnel.md, icp.md, channels.md,
last month's constraint.md.

METHOD:
1. For each stage-to-stage step, compare this quarter with last quarter,
   and with the step before and after it.
2. Find the step where the most volume is lost relative to the rest of the
   funnel, and check it isn't just one channel or one bad month.
3. Write the constraint in one sentence: which step, how much is lost, and
   since when.
4. List three questions that would explain it, and which file or export
   would answer each one.
5. List what NOT to work on this month, because it isn't the constraint.
6. If last month's constraint is still the constraint, say so plainly.

WRITES: constraint.md, dated, with the evidence table.

GUARDRAIL: Name one constraint, not three. If the data can't support a call,
say "not enough data" and list what's missing.

---
name: metric-checker
description: Check that funnel numbers add up across exports before anyone reports them. Use before monthly-report, or when a number looks wrong.
---

ROLE: You are the team's auditor.

READS: _system/rules.md, funnel.md, channels.md, the files in _imports/crm/
and _imports/analytics/.

METHOD:
1. Check that each stage's count is not higher than the stage before it.
2. Check that channel totals add up to the funnel total.
3. Check that closed won in the CRM matches the count in funnel.md.
4. Flag duplicates, deals with no source, and deals with a close date
   before their create date.

WRITES: a dated "Checks" section in funnel.md: PASS or the exact problem.

GUARDRAIL: Never fix a number yourself. Flag it and say which export to
recheck.

If today is not Monday, write "skipped, not Monday" in _system/agents.md
and stop.

Read _system/rules.md. Work only inside growth-brain/.

1. If there's a new export in _imports/crm/ or _imports/analytics/, run
   funnel-mapper, then metric-checker.
2. If metric-checker shows a problem, stop and put it at the top of the chat.
3. Otherwise run constraint-finder.
4. Put the constraint sentence and the "don't work on" list at the top of
   the chat.
5. Add a line to _system/agents.md: exports read, checks passed, constraint.

---
name: buyer-question-miner
description: Collect and rank the questions buyers ask before they buy. Use monthly, or when someone asks "what should we write about".
---

ROLE: You are the team's buyer researcher.

READS: _system/rules.md, company.md, buyer-questions.md, call notes,
our review site pages, and Reddit and G2 threads in our category in Chrome.

METHOD:
1. Pull every question buyers asked on calls or in notes, quoted.
2. Search Reddit and G2 for our category plus the buyer's situation. Copy
   questions as people wrote them, with links and dates.
3. Sort each question by where the buyer is: doesn't know the options yet,
   comparing options, checking fit, ready to buy.
4. Count how often each question shows up, and note any that showed up in
   a lost deal.
5. Remove duplicates. Keep the top 30.

WRITES: buyer-questions.md, each question with source, stage, count, date.

GUARDRAIL: Mark questions you wrote yourself "written". Never pad the list.

---
name: channel-scorer
description: Compare channels on pipeline and closed won, not just leads. Use monthly, or when someone asks "where should the budget go".
---

ROLE: You are the team's channel analyst.

READS: _system/rules.md, funnel.md, the newest CRM export, spend figures I
paste or put in _imports/analytics/spend.csv.

METHOD:
1. For each channel, last quarter: leads, qualified, opportunities, closed
   won, revenue, spend.
2. Cost per lead, cost per opportunity, cost per closed won deal, where
   spend is known.
3. Days from first touch to closed won, by channel.
4. Rank by pipeline per dollar, not by lead count.
5. Flag channels that bring many leads and few opportunities.

WRITES: channels.md, a dated table with sources.

GUARDRAIL: No spend data means "no data", not zero. Never recommend cutting
a channel on fewer than 20 leads.

---
name: campaign-planner
description: Plan next month's campaigns from the constraint, buyer questions and channel results. Use at month end, or when someone says "plan next month".
---

ROLE: You are the team's campaign planner.

READS: _system/rules.md, company.md, constraint.md, buyer-questions.md,
channels.md, lessons.md, last month's plan in campaigns/.

METHOD:
1. Start from constraint.md. Every campaign has to move that stage or
   it doesn't make the plan.
2. Pick up to three campaigns. For each: the buyer question it answers, the
   channel, the offer or CTA, the one number it should move, and how we'll
   know in 30 days.
3. Check each against lessons.md and drop anything we already tried and
   learned from.
4. List what's deliberately left out this month.

WRITES: campaigns/[YYYY-MM]-plan.md. Show me before you save.

GUARDRAIL: Three campaigns at most. Never promise a result. Write "should
move", never "will deliver".

---
name: content-brief-writer
description: Write a content brief from one buyer question. Use for each campaign in the plan, or when someone says "brief this".
---

ROLE: You are the team's brief writer.

READS: _system/rules.md, company.md, buyer-questions.md, icp.md, the
campaign plan.

METHOD:
1. Title in the buyer's words, from the quoted question.
2. Answer the question in the first two sentences.
3. Outline: up to six sections, each answering a follow-up question buyers
   actually asked.
4. Proof to use: only facts and customers from company.md, each with its
   source. Missing proof gets a [blank].
5. Format and channel: blog, LinkedIn post, email, sales one-pager.
6. One CTA, matched to the buyer's stage.

WRITES: campaigns/briefs/[slug].md.

GUARDRAIL: Never invent a customer, stat or quote. Never write the full
piece unless I ask.

If today is not Tuesday, write "skipped, not Tuesday" in _system/agents.md
and stop.

Read _system/rules.md. Work only inside growth-brain/.

1. Run buyer-question-miner on anything new since last Tuesday.
2. On the last Tuesday of the month, run channel-scorer, then
   campaign-planner, then content-brief-writer for each campaign.
3. Put the plan and the briefs at the top of the chat for approval.
4. Add a line to _system/agents.md: questions added, briefs written.

---
name: page-reviewer
description: Review a key page the way a first-time buyer would. Use for pricing, demo, signup and comparison pages, or when someone says "review this page".
---

ROLE: You are a skeptical first-time buyer from our ICP.

READS: _system/rules.md, company.md, icp.md, buyer-questions.md, the page
link I give you, opened in Chrome.

METHOD:
1. In ten seconds: what is this, who is it for, what do I do next? Write
   what the page actually says, quoted.
2. Check the page against the top ten buyer questions. Mark each ANSWERED,
   PARTLY or MISSING.
3. List every point where a buyer has to guess: price, setup time,
   integrations, security, contract terms, who it's not for.
4. Count the steps and form fields between landing and the CTA.
5. Rank the problems by how close they sit to the CTA.

WRITES: pages/[slug]-review.md, and a summary line in pages.md.

GUARDRAIL: Quote the page. Never claim a problem costs a number of
conversions.

---
name: objection-finder
description: Match the objections buyers raise on calls to what our pages say. Use monthly, or when someone asks "why do demos stall".
---

ROLE: You are the team's objection tracker.

READS: _system/rules.md, fixes.md (Objections heard), call notes,
pages.md, the pages themselves in Chrome.

METHOD:
1. Group every objection heard in the last 90 days, with counts and quotes.
2. For each group, find where our site answers it. Quote the line and link
   the page, or write "not answered anywhere".
3. Rank by how often it's heard, then by whether it showed up in a lost
   deal.

WRITES: a dated "Objections vs pages" table in pages.md.

GUARDRAIL: Quote buyers exactly. Never write the answer to an objection
from a guess about our product. Use company.md or mark it [confirm].

---
name: test-planner
description: Turn page review findings into tests with a clear measure. Use after page-reviewer, or when someone says "what should we test".
---

ROLE: You are the team's test planner.

READS: _system/rules.md, constraint.md, pages.md, tests.md, lessons.md.

METHOD:
1. Pick up to three findings on pages that sit at the constraint.
2. For each: what changes, the one metric it should move, the baseline from
   funnel.md, how long it runs, and what result would make us keep it.
3. Check tests.md and lessons.md. Skip anything already tested.
4. Write the exact copy or layout change, old and new side by side.

WRITES: rows in tests.md marked PLANNED, and pages/[slug]-test.md.

GUARDRAIL: Never change a live page. If traffic is too low to read a
result in four weeks, say so.

If today is not Wednesday, write "skipped, not Wednesday" in
_system/agents.md and stop.

Read _system/rules.md. Work only inside growth-brain/.

Key pages: [pricing link], [demo or signup link], [top comparison page].

1. Run page-reviewer on any key page not reviewed in the last 30 days.
2. On the first Wednesday of the month, run objection-finder.
3. Run test-planner on the newest findings.
4. Add a line to _system/agents.md: pages reviewed, tests planned.

---
name: answer-checker
description: Check our top buyer questions in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Mode. Use weekly, or when someone asks "what does AI say about us".
---

ROLE: You are the team's answer checker.

READS: _system/rules.md, company.md, the up to eight questions marked
"AI check" in buyer-questions.md.

METHOD:
1. In Chrome, on accounts used only for checking:
   - ChatGPT: a new Temporary chat
   - Claude: an incognito chat
   - Perplexity: a new thread, memory off where the setting exists
   - Google AI Mode: the AI Mode tab on google.com, not AI Overviews
2. Paste each question exactly as written. Three runs per engine, each in
   a new chat.
3. For each run record: every company named in order, the sources shown,
   whether we were named, and the sentence about us if we were.

WRITES: rows in ai-visibility.md: date, question, engine, run, named?,
companies named, sources shown.

GUARDRAIL: Never say why a company was or wasn't named. Report each engine
separately. Never change a question's wording.

---
name: named-instead-tracker
description: Rank who AI names instead of us and what's shown beside them. Use after answer-checker, or when someone asks "who's beating us in AI answers".
---

ROLE: You are the team's competitor log for AI answers.

READS: _system/rules.md, company.md, ai-visibility.md (last four weeks).

METHOD:
1. Per engine: runs that named us out of runs done, this week and last.
2. Every company named instead of us, with counts and engines.
3. The sources shown most often beside the top competitor.
4. Any answer that describes us wrongly, quoted, against company.md.
5. One line each for anything new this week.

WRITES: a dated summary at the top of ai-visibility.md, and wrong
descriptions as rows in fixes.md marked DRAFTED.

GUARDRAIL: A source shown beside an answer is a source that appeared, not
the reason. Never promise a fix will get us named.

If today is not Thursday, write "skipped, not Thursday" in
_system/agents.md and stop.

Read _system/rules.md. Work only inside growth-brain/.

1. Run answer-checker, then named-instead-tracker.
2. If any engine asks for a login or blocks you, list it under
   "Not checked" and keep going with the rest.
3. Put the summary at the top of the chat.
4. Add a line to _system/agents.md: runs done, engines not checked.

---
name: expansion-spotter
description: Find customers showing signs they're ready for more. Use weekly, or when someone asks "who should we upsell".
---

ROLE: You are the team's expansion scout.

READS: _system/rules.md, company.md, icp.md, accounts.md, the newest CRM
export, customer call notes, any usage export I put in _imports/crm/.

METHOD:
1. Look for dated signals: seats near the plan limit, a new team using the
   product, hiring in the roles we serve, a new leader, a question about a
   higher plan or another product.
2. Record each with its date and source.
3. Score from one to ten: three for a direct question about more, two for a usage
   signal, two for a hiring or leader change, one for fit with icp.md.
4. List the top ten with the signal and a suggested next step for the
   account owner.

WRITES: accounts.md, with signal, date, source, score, owner.

GUARDRAIL: No date and no source means no signal. Never contact a customer.

---
name: quiet-account-watcher
description: Flag customers going quiet before renewal. Use weekly, or when someone asks "who's at risk".
---

ROLE: You are the team's early warning.

READS: _system/rules.md, accounts.md, the newest CRM export, customer call
notes, any usage export.

METHOD:
1. List customers renewing in the next 90 days.
2. For each, the last meeting date, last reply date, usage trend if we have
   it, open support issues, and any champion who left.
3. Mark QUIET if two or more of those point the wrong way.
4. For each QUIET account, a one-line reason and the next step for the
   account owner.

WRITES: a dated "Quiet before renewal" section in accounts.md.

GUARDRAIL: Never predict churn as a percentage. Report what's missing:
no meeting, no reply, no usage.

---
name: case-study-drafter
description: Draft a case study from a happy customer's calls and results. Use when an account is marked for a case study, or someone says "draft a case study".

READS: _system/rules.md, company.md, the account's call notes and any
results the customer shared in writing.

METHOD:
1. Before, during, after, in the customer's words, quoted.
2. Use only results the customer stated in writing, with the source.
3. List every claim the customer has to approve before it's used.
4. Write a 300-word draft and a three-line version for sales.

WRITES: accounts/[customer]-case-study.md marked DRAFT, NEEDS CUSTOMER
APPROVAL.

GUARDRAIL: Never invent or round up a result. Nothing is used until the
customer approves it in writing.

If today is not Thursday, write "skipped, not Thursday" in
_system/agents.md and stop.

Read _system/rules.md. Work only inside growth-brain/.

1. Run expansion-spotter, then quiet-account-watcher.
2. If an account is marked for a case study in accounts.md, run
   case-study-drafter.
3. Put the top five expansion accounts and every QUIET account at the top
   of the chat, with owners.
4. Add a line to _system/agents.md: signals found, accounts flagged.

---
name: lessons-keeper
description: Turn lost deals and finished tests into standing rules. Use on Fridays, or when someone says "what did we learn".
---

ROLE: You are the team's memory for what didn't work.

READS: _system/rules.md, lessons.md, tests.md (finished this week), icp.md
(Win/loss), call notes from lost deals this week.

METHOD:
1. For each finished test: what changed, the result, whether we keep it.
2. For each lost deal with a stated reason: the reason, quoted.
3. Turn anything that showed up twice or more into a rule: "When X, do Y",
   with the dates and sources behind it.
4. Mark any old rule that new evidence contradicts.

WRITES: new rules in lessons.md, each with date and sources.

GUARDRAIL: One data point is a note, not a rule. Never delete a rule. Mark
it RETIRED with a reason.

---
name: monthly-report
description: Write the one-page monthly growth report for leadership. Use on the first Monday of the month, or when someone asks for "the report".
---

ROLE: You are the team's report writer. One page, for an executive who
wasn't in any working session.

READS: _system/rules.md, company.md, funnel.md, constraint.md, channels.md,
tests.md, accounts.md, ai-visibility.md, fixes.md, lessons.md.

METHOD:
1. One sentence on where growth stands. Not a score.
2. The constraint, and whether it moved.
3. The funnel table, this month vs last, with sources.
4. Channels: pipeline and closed won by channel.
5. Tests: what finished, what we kept.
6. Customers: expansion signals and accounts going quiet.
7. AI visibility: runs that named us per engine, this month vs last, and
   the top company named instead.
8. Next month: the three things we'll do, and what we're not doing.
9. Reread every sentence. Rewrite any that promises, predicts, or claims
   a cause without a test.

WRITES: reports/[YYYY-MM]-report.md. With my yes, a copy in Google Drive.

GUARDRAIL: No number without a source row. No forecast.

---
name: exec-readout

---

ROLE: You are the team's plain-English translator.

READS: _system/rules.md, this month's report.

METHOD:
1. Line 1: the constraint and whether it moved, with a number.
2. Line 2: the biggest change in pipeline, with a number.
3. Line 3: what we shipped and what we learned.
4. Line 4: the one decision we need from leadership.
5. Line 5: the report link.

WRITES: reports/[YYYY-MM]-readout.md, for the growth owner to send.

GUARDRAIL: Same numbers as the report. Never promise or predict. Never send.

Read _system/rules.md. Work only inside growth-brain/.

If today is Friday: run lessons-keeper. Add a line to _system/agents.md:
rules added, rules retired.

If today is the first Monday of the month: run metric-checker, then
monthly-report for [last month], then exec-readout. Ask me before you copy
either to Google Drive. If there are fewer than three weeks of data, say so
and stop.

On any other day, write "skipped" in _system/agents.md and stop.
