## Customization

**Before executing, check for user customizations at:**
`~/.claude/skills/PAI/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/Sales/`

If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, configurations, or resources found there. These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults.


## 🚨 MANDATORY: Voice Notification (REQUIRED BEFORE ANY ACTION)

**You MUST send this notification BEFORE doing anything else when this skill is invoked.**

1. **Send voice notification**:
   ```bash
   curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8888/notify \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"message": "Running the WORKFLOWNAME workflow in the Sales skill to ACTION"}' \
     > /dev/null 2>&1 &
   ```

2. **Output text notification**:
   ```
   Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **Sales** skill to ACTION...
   ```

**This is not optional. Execute this curl command immediately upon skill invocation.**

# Sales Skill

**Transform product documentation into compelling sales narratives and visual assets.**

Takes technical documentation, product information, or feature descriptions and produces:
1. **Sales Narratives** - Story explanations that capture the value proposition
2. **Visual Assets** - Charcoal sketch art that conveys the concept visually
3. **Scripts** - Clear, succinct, effective messaging tied to what you're selling

---

## The Pipeline

```
PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION
        ↓
[1] STORY EXPLANATION β€” Extract the narrative arc (what's the real value?)
        ↓
[2] EMOTIONAL REGISTER β€” What feeling should this evoke? (wonder, determination, hope, etc.)
        ↓
[3] VISUAL CONCEPT β€” Derive scene from narrative + emotion
        ↓
[4] GENERATE ASSETS β€” Create visual + narrative package
        ↓
SALES-READY OUTPUT
```

## Workflows

### Full Sales Package β†’ `Workflows/Create-sales-package.md`
**The complete pipeline.** Takes product docs and produces:
- Sales narrative (story explanation)
- Visual asset (charcoal sketch)
- Key talking points

### Sales Narrative Only β†’ `Workflows/Create-narrative.md`
**Just the story.** Converts technical docs into compelling narrative.

### Visual Asset Only β†’ `Workflows/Create-visual.md`
**Just the visual.** Creates charcoal sketch art for existing narrative.

---

## Output Format

### Sales Narrative
- 8-24 point story explanation
- First person, conversational
- Captures the "why this matters" not just "what it does"
- Ready for sales scripts, presentations, pitches

### Visual Asset
- Charcoal gestural sketch aesthetic
- Minimalist composition with breathing space
- Transparent background for versatility
- Captures the emotional core of the value proposition

---

## Example

**Input:** Technical documentation about AI code review tool

**Output:**
- **Narrative:** "This tool doesn't just find bugsβ€”it understands your codebase like a senior engineer who's been there for years. It catches the subtle issues that slip through PR reviews..."
- **Visual:** Gestural sketch of human developer and AI figure collaborating, both examining the same code output
- **Talking Points:**
  1. Senior engineer understanding, not just pattern matching
  2. Catches what humans miss in PR reviews
  3. Learns your specific codebase patterns

---

## Integration

This skill combines:
- **storyexplanation skill** - For narrative extraction
- **art skill (essay-art workflow)** - For visual generation
- **Sales-specific framing** - Value proposition focus

---

**The goal:** Sales teams get materials that are highly tied to what they're selling, clear, succinct, and effective.

---

## Examples

**Example 1: Full sales package from docs**
```
User: "create a sales package for this product" [provides docs]
β†’ Extracts narrative arc using storyexplanation
β†’ Determines emotional register (wonder, determination, hope)
β†’ Generates charcoal sketch visual + narrative + talking points
```

**Example 2: Sales narrative only**
```
User: "turn this technical doc into a sales pitch"
β†’ Reads documentation and extracts value proposition
β†’ Creates 8-24 point story explanation in first person
β†’ Returns conversational narrative ready for sales scripts
```

**Example 3: Visual asset for existing narrative**
```
User: "create a visual for this sales story"
β†’ Analyzes narrative for emotional core
β†’ Derives scene concept from story + emotion
β†’ Generates charcoal gestural sketch with transparent background
```

Overview

This skill transforms technical product documentation into sales-ready materials: narratives, visual concepts, and concise scripts. It runs a pipeline that extracts the core value, selects an emotional register, and produces minimalist charcoal-style visual assets alongside talking points. Before performing any work, it issues a required voice notification announcing the workflow and action.

How this skill works

The skill ingests product docs or feature descriptions and runs a four-step pipeline: story explanation, emotional register selection, visual concept derivation, and asset generation. It calls supporting sub-skills for narrative extraction and art generation, then packages an 8–24 point first-person story, a gestural charcoal visual with transparent background, and key talking points. The workflow respects user customizations stored in a local preferences folder and will load those overrides when present.

When to use it

  • Preparing go-to-market materials from technical specs
  • Converting developer or product docs into pitch narratives
  • Creating visual concepts to support sales presentations
  • Generating concise scripts and talking points for demos and calls
  • Rapidly producing sales assets for new features or releases

Best practices

  • Provide clear, complete product documentation and target audience context
  • Specify desired emotional register (e.g., wonder, determination, hope) to shape tone
  • Use the full-package workflow for launch collateral; use single outputs for focused needs
  • Place custom preferences in the designated local folder to override defaults
  • Review and lightly edit talking points for customer-specific language and compliance

Example use cases

  • Full sales package for a new AI feature: narrative + charcoal concept + talking points
  • Convert an API reference into a conversational product story for SDR outreach
  • Create a visual asset to accompany a slide deck that communicates product value emotionally
  • Generate a short sales script and three key talking points for a demo call
  • Refresh existing product messaging by extracting the emotional core from technical docs

FAQ

Is there a mandatory notification before work begins?

Yes. The workflow requires a voice notification announcing the workflow and action before any other processing. This ensures team awareness and must be sent at invocation time.

Can I override defaults or change tone?

Yes. Place PREFERENCES.md or other configuration files in the designated local customization directory to override defaults, including tone, output length, and visual style.
