Turn an existing customer into a B2B call list: profile, find similar prospects on Google Maps, score, export CSV + JSON.
When the user wants to create or update their product marketing context document. Also use when the user mentions 'product context,' 'marketing context,' 'set up context,' 'positioning,' 'who is my target audience,' 'describe my product,' 'ICP,' 'ideal customer profile,' or wants to avoid repeating foundational information across marketing tasks. Use this at the start of any new project before using other marketing skills — it creates `.agents/product-marketing.md` that all other skills reference for product, audience, and positioning context.
When the user wants to create sales collateral, pitch decks, one-pagers, objection handling docs, or demo scripts. Also use when the user mentions 'sales deck,' 'pitch deck,' 'one-pager,' 'leave-behind,' 'objection handling,' 'deal-specific ROI analysis,' 'demo script,' 'talk track,' 'sales playbook,' 'proposal template,' 'buyer persona card,' 'help my sales team,' 'sales materials,' or 'what should I give my sales reps.' Use this for any document or asset that helps a sales team close deals. For competitor comparison pages and battle cards, see competitors. For marketing website copy, see copywriting. For cold outreach emails, see cold-email. For the offer being sold (bonuses, guarantees, pricing structure), see offers.
When the user wants multiple expert perspectives on a marketing question — a simulated board of advisors staffed by legendary marketers (Seth Godin, David Ogilvy, Eugene Schwartz, April Dunford, Rory Sutherland, Alex Hormozi, Byron Sharp, and more). Also use when the user mentions 'marketing council,' 'board of advisors,' 'advisory board,' 'what would Seth Godin say,' 'what would Ogilvy think,' 'channel Hormozi,' 'get multiple perspectives,' 'debate this,' 'have the council review,' 'marketing mentors,' or asks how a famous marketer would approach their problem. The council gives each advisor's take through their documented frameworks, surfaces where they disagree, and synthesizes a recommendation. For executing the winning direction, hand off to positioning, offers, copywriting, ads, or the relevant skill.
When the user wants to create SEO-driven pages at scale using templates and data. Also use when the user mentions "programmatic SEO," "template pages," "pages at scale," "directory pages," "location pages," "[keyword] + [city] pages," "comparison pages," "integration pages," "building many pages for SEO," "pSEO," "generate 100 pages," "data-driven pages," or "templated landing pages." Use this whenever someone wants to create many similar pages targeting different keywords or locations. For auditing existing SEO issues, see seo-audit.

Use this when the user already has copy and wants it improved or refreshed rather than rewritten from scratch. For writing new copy, see copywriting.
When the user wants to set up a recurring, self-running marketing workflow — a repeatable loop an AI agent runs on a cadence (weekly, daily, on a trigger) rather than a one-off task. Also use when the user mentions 'marketing loop,' 'recurring marketing workflow,' 'automate my marketing,' 'marketing on autopilot,' 'weekly marketing review,' 'ad fatigue check,' 'content refresh loop,' 'churn watch,' 'ranking drop alert,' 'always-on marketing,' 'marketing automation workflow,' or 'run this every week.' Use this to pick, adapt, and schedule an ongoing marketing loop that orchestrates the other marketing skills. For one-off marketing ideas, see marketing-ideas. For the experimentation loop specifically, see ab-testing.
When the user wants to figure out which marketing actually drives conversions and revenue, choose or interpret an attribution model, or reconcile conflicting numbers across tools. Also use when the user mentions "attribution," "attribution model," "first-touch vs last-touch," "multi-touch," "which channel drives revenue," "what's my real CAC," "my dashboards disagree," "Google/Meta says X but GA says Y," "media mix model," "MMM," "incrementality," "geo lift," "holdout test," "how did you hear about us," "self-reported attribution," "dark social," or wants to instrument attribution themselves — "stitch my bookings to their source," "SavvyCal/Calendly attribution," "close the identify gap," "track conversions on a third-party domain," "first-party / self-hosted attribution." For event tracking setup and UTMs, see analytics. For ad-platform pixels/CAPI, see ads. For pipeline and CRM revenue reporting, see revops. For the AI-search attribution blind spot, see ai-seo.

Use this whenever someone is planning what pages a website should have and how they connect. NOT for XML sitemaps (that's technical SEO — see seo-audit). For SEO audits, see seo-audit. For structured data, see schema.
Build and leverage online communities to drive product growth and brand loyalty. Use when the user wants to create a community strategy, grow a Discord or Slack community, manage a forum or subreddit, build brand advocates, increase word-of-mouth, drive community-led growth, engage users post-signup, or turn customers into evangelists. Trigger phrases: "build a community," "community strategy," "Discord community," "Slack community," "community-led growth," "brand advocates," "user community," "forum strategy," "community engagement," "grow our community," "ambassador program," "community flywheel."

Use this for any multi-email automated flow. For cold outreach emails, see cold-email. For in-app onboarding, see onboarding.
When the user wants to design, construct, or improve an offer — the thing they actually sell — including value framing, bonus stacking, guarantee design, scarcity/urgency, naming, and payment structure. Also use when the user mentions 'offer,' 'offer design,' 'build an offer,' 'grand slam offer,' 'irresistible offer,' 'value stack,' 'bonus stack,' 'guarantee,' 'risk reversal,' 'money-back guarantee,' 'scarcity,' 'urgency,' 'high-ticket offer,' 'productize a service,' 'naming an offer,' 'payment plan,' 'down-sell,' 'upsell offer,' or 'why isn't my offer converting.' Best for services, agencies, courses, coaching, info products, high-ticket B2B, and direct-response. If you run pure self-serve SaaS, read pricing first — tiers and packaging do more work there. For price level itself (tiers, freemium, value metric), see pricing. For the page that presents the offer, see copywriting. For the launch moment, see launch. For sales collateral, see sales-enablement.
When the user wants to create or optimize popups, modals, overlays, slide-ins, or banners for conversion purposes.

About Ottermind skills
Every published skill from coreyhaines31. Following a publisher whose work already fits how you operate is often faster than evaluating individual skills one at a time.
Skills cover the full range of what an Ottermind agent does: building editable PowerPoint decks, generating product and brand images, writing and running code on a machine you connect, producing video from a script or a still, and cleaning and analysing spreadsheet data. A skill is what turns a general model into something that handles your specific version of one of those jobs the same way every time.
A skill is a plain Markdown file with a short frontmatter header, which means you can read exactly what it will do before running it, edit it to match your own conventions, and share it with colleagues. Once a skill produces the result you wanted, it can be attached to an agent or scheduled as an automation so the same work happens again without anyone rewriting the prompt.
- What is an Ottermind skill?
- A reusable instruction package written in Markdown. It gives an agent the context, steps, and constraints for one kind of task, so results stay consistent instead of depending on how well you phrased the prompt that day.
- How do I install and use a skill?
- Open any skill's detail page, read the full document, and install it into your workspace. From then on the agent can use it automatically when the task matches, or you can invoke it by name.
- Can I create my own skill?
- Yes. A skill is a Markdown file with frontmatter naming it and describing when it should be used. If you have a workflow you keep re-explaining to an agent, writing it down once as a skill is usually the shortest path to making it repeatable.
- Do skills cost extra?
- Browsing and installing skills from this library does not cost anything on its own. Running one consumes the same credits as any other agent task, depending on the model you choose and how much work the task involves.
