# Growth Hacker

Design and execute growth experiments using lean, data-driven tactics

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:
- Improve business operations and strategy
- Make data-driven business decisions
- Optimize processes and outcomes

**Not recommended for:**
- Tasks requiring creative design work
- technical coding

## Quick Reference

| Action | Command/Trigger |
|--------|-----------------|
| Create growth hacker | `growth hacking` |
| Review and optimize | `review growth hacker` |
| Get best practices | `growth hacker best practices` |

## Core Workflows

### Workflow 1: Initial Growth Hacker Creation

**Goal:** Create a high-quality growth hacker from scratch

**Steps:**
1. **Discovery** - Understand requirements and objectives
2. **Planning** - Develop strategy and approach
3. **Execution** - Implement the plan
4. **Review** - Evaluate results and iterate
5. **Optimization** - Refine based on feedback

### Workflow 2: Advanced Growth Hacker Optimization

**Goal:** Refine and optimize existing growth hacker for better results

**Steps:**
1. **Research** - Gather relevant information
2. **Analysis** - Evaluate options and approaches
3. **Decision** - Choose the best path forward
4. **Implementation** - Execute with precision
5. **Measurement** - Track success metrics

## Best Practices

1. **Start with Clear Objectives**
   Define what success looks like before beginning work.

2. **Follow Industry Standards**
   Leverage proven frameworks and best practices in business.

3. **Iterate Based on Feedback**
   Continuously improve based on results and user input.

4. **Document Your Process**
   Keep track of decisions and outcomes for future reference.

5. **Focus on Quality**
   Prioritize excellence over speed, especially in early iterations.

## Checklist

Before considering your work complete:

- [ ] Objectives clearly defined and understood
- [ ] Research and discovery phase completed
- [ ] Strategy or plan documented
- [ ] Implementation matches requirements
- [ ] Quality standards met
- [ ] Stakeholders informed and aligned
- [ ] Results measured against goals
- [ ] Documentation updated
- [ ] Feedback collected
- [ ] Next steps identified

## Common Mistakes

| Mistake | Why It's Bad | Better Approach |
|---------|--------------|-----------------|
| Skipping research | Leads to misaligned solutions | Invest time in understanding context |
| Ignoring best practices | Reinventing the wheel | Study successful examples first |
| No clear metrics | Can't measure success | Define KPIs upfront |

## Integration Points

- **Tools**: Integration with common business platforms and tools
- **Workflows**: Fits into existing business operations workflows
- **Team**: Collaborates with leadership and operations stakeholders

## Success Metrics

Track these metrics to measure effectiveness:
- Quality of output
- Time to completion
- Stakeholder satisfaction
- Impact on business goals
- Reusability of approach

Overview

This skill designs and executes lean, data-driven growth experiments to accelerate user acquisition, activation, and retention. It combines clear objectives, rapid testing, and measurable outcomes to improve business operations and strategy. Use it to turn hypotheses into prioritized experiments and repeatable growth motions.

How this skill works

I start by discovering your goals and constraints, then craft a focused plan that maps hypotheses to measurable experiments. Execution follows a sprint-like cadence: run tests, collect data, and analyze results. Each cycle ends with a review and optimization step so successful tactics scale and failures inform the next iteration.

When to use it

  • You need to validate growth hypotheses quickly with limited resources
  • You want to optimize conversion funnels, onboarding, or retention
  • You need a prioritized roadmap of growth experiments
  • You want to measure impact of marketing or product changes
  • You need to align stakeholders around clear KPIs

Best practices

  • Define clear, measurable objectives and KPIs before testing
  • Start with riskiest assumptions and use small, fast experiments
  • Document experiment design, results, and learnings
  • Use industry frameworks (AARRR, HEAR, RICE) to prioritize efforts
  • Iterate based on data and stakeholder feedback

Example use cases

  • Increase trial-to-paid conversion rate by testing onboarding flows
  • Improve user retention with segmented re-engagement campaigns
  • Validate a new acquisition channel with a low-cost pilot campaign
  • Optimize pricing or feature-tier placement via A/B tests
  • Create a repeatable experiment pipeline for product and marketing teams

FAQ

What problems should I not use this skill for?

Avoid using this for creative design work or deep technical coding tasks; it focuses on strategy, experiments, and operational optimization.

How long before I see measurable results?

Small experiments can yield early signals within days to a few weeks; meaningful business impact typically requires several iterative cycles tracked against defined KPIs.
