Agent

Track outreach and trigger follow-ups →

"I sent a batch of pitches and then lost track of who replied — by the time I remembered to follow up the moment had passed."

Agent

Surface contacts due for a touch-point →

"I have a media list but half of it is people I haven't spoken to in six months — I need to know who I'm letting go cold before it becomes a problem."

Agent

Scan adjacent voices and surface fresh prospects →

"I've been swapping with the same five people for a year — I need fresh names from the edges of my topic space that I wouldn't have found on my own."

Agent

Tend warm partner relationships on a cadence →

"My best collaboration partners are people I worked with once and then forgot to stay in touch with — I need something that catches the drift before it becomes a dead relationship."

Agent

Watch metrics on a schedule and surface anomalies →

"I only notice when something's broken because a subscriber mentions it — I want the system to catch a drop before I do."

Agent

New-member onboarding nudge agent →

"Half my new members never introduce themselves and then go quiet — I need a process that nudges them early enough that the habit hasn't formed."

Agent

Daily activity digest and thread-surfacing agent →

"I miss good threads because I'm not online constantly — I need a briefing each day that shows me what I should respond to and what I should amplify."

Skill

Assess channel reach and audience fit →

"I'm posting everywhere but I don't know which channels are actually reaching my people — I need a verdict, not more numbers."

Skill

Choose lead channels and set reach targets →

"I've been trying to be everywhere — I need to commit to where I'm putting my energy this quarter and set a real number to hit."

Skill

Design lead magnet and capture mechanic →

"People are reading but not staying — I need something concrete to offer them that makes handing over an email feel worth it."

Skill

Design the content cascade map →

"I write one big piece and then wonder how to make it reach people on every channel — I want a system, not a case-by-case decision each time."

Skill

Draft the reputation-compounding roadmap →

"I know what I want to build but I don't see how it compounds — I need the whole arc on one page so I can see whether this sequence makes sense."

Skill

Research and profile candidate journalists, editors, and bookers →

"I know this journalist covers the space but I don't know enough about their beat to pitch them well — I need a real profile before I write anything."

Skill

Prioritise and score outlet fit →

"I have 30 names on my list and no idea who to call first — I need them ranked so I stop wasting pitches on the wrong tier."

Skill

Draft a tailored pitch or press release →

"I know what I want to say but every version I write feels either too bland or too much like a CV — I need a draft that feels like it was written for this one person."

Skill

Draft a relationship-warming touch-point →

"I only ever contact this editor when I want coverage and it shows — I need a way to stay warm without it feeling transactional."

Skill

Assemble or refresh the media kit →

"I get asked for press materials and I paste together something different every time — I need one clean kit I can hand over without it looking improvised."

Skill

Draft talking points and an anticipated-Q&A brief →

"I have a podcast tomorrow and I keep getting caught out by questions I should have prepared for — I want a one-pager I can review on the train."

Skill

Draft an agency brief and messaging priorities →

"I hired a publicist and they're guessing at what I want — I need to write a brief that actually controls the direction before they start making calls."

Skill

Review proposed targets and outreach copy →

"The publicist keeps sending me pitches and target lists I don't feel great about, but I don't have a systematic way to push back — I need a gatekeeping pass before anything goes out."

Skill

Assess agency deliverables and renewal decision →

"My contract renewal is coming up and I've been too busy to track whether the agency actually delivered — I need a clear-eyed performance read before I decide."

Skill

Assess a candidate peer's collaboration fit →

"Someone suggested I swap newsletters with this creator but I'm not sure we're targeting the same people — I need a proper fit check before I reach out."

Skill

Draft a personalised collaboration pitch →

"Every collaboration pitch I write either sounds too salesy or too vague — I need a draft that makes the win for them obvious from line one."

Skill

Draft a response in the pitch back-and-forth →

"They replied with what sounds like hesitation but might actually be interest — I need a response that doesn't kill the momentum."

Skill

Draft the shared collaboration brief →

"We agreed to do a swap but six messages later neither of us knows exactly what we're each delivering — I need a brief that pins it all down before we start."

Skill

Check the brief for reciprocal balance →

"I keep agreeing to swaps where I do all the work and they get all the benefit — I need a fairness check before I commit to producing anything."

Skill

Draft the post-swap thank-you and results note →

"The swap went well but I haven't followed up and now the warmth is fading — I need a short note that closes the loop before the relationship goes quiet."

Skill

Prepare a contribution for a network session →

"I show up to peer sessions and end up just listening — I want to arrive with something worth saying that also opens doors."

Skill

Spot warm-introduction and referral openings →

"After every peer session I feel like there was an obvious intro I didn't ask for — I need to spot those openings while I'm in the room, not afterwards."

Skill

Read the dashboard against trajectory and log findings →

"I have the numbers in front of me but I don't know if a 4% drop this week is noise or a real signal — I need a reading, not just the data."

Skill

Form and document the root-cause conclusion →

"I have the breakdown in front of me but three possible causes and no way to choose — I need a reasoned hypothesis I can act on or test."

Skill

Assess discoverability and prioritise fixes →

"People who should find me are not finding me and I suspect SEO is the problem — I need to know exactly what to fix and in what order."

Skill

Decide and execute the distribution adjustment →

"I keep diagnosing and never acting — I need to make the one change the data is pointing to and write it down so I can tell if it worked."

Skill

Design the list-building experiment →

"I want to test whether a different opt-in hook grows my list faster but I've never run an experiment that was actually well-defined enough to learn from."

Skill

Evaluate the result and decide keep-or-kill →

"My test is done but I'm second-guessing whether the lift is real — I need the decision written down cleanly so I stop reopening it."

Skill

Draft community norms and charter →

"I want to open the community but I don't have the norms written down and I know that's going to cause problems the first time someone posts something off."

Skill

Design the onboarding flow and orientation materials →

"People join and then just sit there because no one tells them what to do first — I need a proper onboarding sequence before I open the doors."

Skill

Draft a personalised welcome for a new member →

"I want every new member to feel seen rather than getting a form message — but I can't write a personal note for every single person without help."

Skill

Generate a discussion seed or prompt →

"The community goes quiet between events and I run out of ideas for what to post — I need a prompt that will actually get people talking."

Skill

Draft a moderation or conflict-handling response →

"Someone just posted something that breaks the rules and the thread is heating up — I need a response that handles this firmly without making it worse."

Skill

Plan the event format and run-of-show →

"I want to run an AMA but the last one felt unstructured and dragged — I need a proper run-of-show I can actually stick to."

Skill

Draft in-community promotion and follow-up →

"The event went well but I've been meaning to send the recap for three days and now it feels late — I need the follow-up drafted the same day."

Skill

Synthesise member survey and feedback signals →

"I ran a member survey and got 80 open-ended responses — I need the themes extracted before I can decide what to actually change."
