SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Marketing decisions often suffer from a single perspective or an echo chamber that simply validates existing plans. This Skill convenes a simulated council of legendary marketers — Seth Godin, David Ogilvy, Eugene Schwartz, April Dunford, Byron Sharp, Alex Hormozi, and others — so you can see how conflicting, well-documented frameworks apply to your specific question before committing to a direction. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three session modes: quick take (one advisor), council session (3–5 advisors), or full council (all 12) matched to the stakes of the decision. - Grounded advisor dossiers: each take is built from the advisor's published frameworks and positions stored in reference files, with strict rules against fabricated quotes or invented endorsements. - Disagreement map and synthesis: surfaces genuine conflicts between advisors, names the underlying trade-offs, and delivers a chair's recommendation with concrete next steps and handoffs to execution skills. - Custom advisors: extend the bench with your own advisors (a former boss, an internal exec) using a structured template saved to your project. - Use Case: You are considering a 40% price cut to counter a cheaper rival. The council seats Hormozi (value equation), Halbert (starving crowd), and Sutherland as dissenter (price as signal), maps the real trade-offs, and hands off to a pricing skill for execution. ## Quick Start Ask the marketing council to review your pricing change, positioning decision, or launch plan and specify whether you want a quick take, a council session, or the full council.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get multiple expert perspectives on a marketing decision?

Convene the marketing council with your question, the stakes, and a session mode. It seats 3-5 advisors whose documented frameworks fit the question, always including at least one dissenter, then produces individual takes, a disagreement map, and a synthesized recommendation.

What would Seth Godin or David Ogilvy say about my marketing copy?

Use quick-take mode to consult a single named advisor. The skill loads only that advisor's dossier and applies their documented frameworks — such as Ogilvy's headline doctrine or Godin's smallest viable audience — to your specific case, labeled as simulation.

Can I add my own advisor to the marketing council?

Yes. The skill provides an advisor template for creating custom dossiers saved to .agents/advisors/ in your project. For private individuals like a former boss, you supply their positions and heuristics; the skill will not invent views for real private people.

Does the marketing council use real quotes from famous marketers?

Only verifiable quotes from the advisor dossiers or a live research pass, always with the source named. Everything else is paraphrased from documented positions, and every session is labeled as a simulation rather than actual review by the real people.

When should I use the full council versus a quick take?

Use quick take for a single named advisor on a narrow question like a headline. Use the default council session of 3-5 advisors for real decisions. Reserve the full 12-advisor council for major strategic decisions, since the output is long.

What are the limitations of a simulated marketing advisory board?

The council decides direction but does not execute — it hands off to skills like positioning, copywriting, or pricing for implementation. Takes are grounded in published frameworks, so fast-moving topics require a live research pass for current positions.
