💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It solves the cold-start problem of configuring a CSM plugin so downstream skills can generate accurate account research, health reviews, escalation routing, and playbook output based on your company’s real motion and connected tooling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Configures your CSM company profile: captures CS motion, account portfolio context, health model configuration, escalation matrix routing, and playbook sources, then writes the shared config consumed by all other CSM skills.
  • Verifies integrations and tenants: probes which connectors are actually connected by making real calls and records connection status and tenant verification results.
  • Supports safe reruns and targeted operations: offers redo modes and an integration-check-only mode so you can refresh configuration without breaking existing setup.

Quick Start

Run cold-start-interview with the command /csm:cold-start-interview --full to complete a full setup including motion, portfolio context, health model, escalation matrix, playbook sources, and (optionally) outcome catalog generation later.
