## What it does

This skill queries Adobe Customer Journey Analytics to evaluate two to five user groups across shared KPIs. When segments already exist, it resolves them with `findSegments` and inspects definitions with `describeSegment`. If predefined groups do not exist, it builds ad hoc definitions directly inside `runReport`. It caps comparisons at five segments.

Metric selection pulls explicit user targets or queries `listComponentUsage` for frequent metrics, giving priority to calculated metrics. The output flags percentage gaps above 10%, marks winners, and outputs an HTML table to `/tmp`. Running this workflow requires connected CJA MCP tools.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill cja-segment-performance-comparator -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/cja-segment-performance-comparator/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/cja-segment-performance-comparator/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill cja-segment-performance-comparator -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/cja-segment-performance-comparator/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill cja-segment-performance-comparator -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/cja-segment-performance-comparator/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install adobe/skills cja-segment-performance-comparator
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/cja-segment-performance-comparator/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill cja-segment-performance-comparator -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/adobe/skills --path plugins/adobe-cja/skills/cja-segment-performance-comparator
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/cja-segment-performance-comparator/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill cja-segment-performance-comparator -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/adobe/skills/tree/HEAD/plugins/adobe-cja/skills/cja-segment-performance-comparator/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Compare conversion rates and orders between mobile and desktop traffic
- Benchmark new versus returning visitors across standard metrics in CJA
- Identify performance gaps across cohorts with automatic percentage spread calculations
- Export a formatted side-by-side HTML comparison report

## Example prompts
- Compare mobile vs desktop users on conversion rate and revenue.
- Which segment performs better: new visitors or returning visitors?
- Show me the difference between these two segments on our key metrics.

  Compares the performance of two or more audience segments across key metrics
  side by side. Use this skill when someone wants to compare audiences, cohorts,
  or groups — for example, "how do mobile users compare to desktop users on
  conversion," "compare new vs. returning visitors," "show me the difference
  between these two segments," "compare these audiences on our KPIs," or
  "which segment performs better." Also trigger for "segment comparison,"
  "audience comparison," or "cohort comparison."

# Segment Performance Comparator (Customer Journey Analytics)

Compare 2–5 audience segments across a set of key metrics in a side-by-side
matrix. The output tells the user not just what each segment looks like in
isolation, but which segment wins or loses on each metric — and which
differences are large enough to act on.

This skill answers the question "which audience should we focus on?" with data.
Segment comparisons drive product decisions, personalization strategy, and
budget allocation — so clarity and actionability matter more than exhaustive data.

---

## CJA MCP Tools Used

- `findSegments` — search for segments by name or keyword
- `describeSegment` — understand the logic of candidate segments before using them
- `findMetrics` — resolve base metric IDs
- `findCalculatedMetrics` — include custom KPIs in the comparison
- `listComponentUsage` — identify the most-used metrics as default comparison set
- `runReport` (with `segmentIds` or `adhocSegments`) — pull metric values per segment

---

## Phase 0 — Setup

1. Call `findDataViews` to list available data views.
2. If the user hasn't specified a data view, present the list and ask which to use.
3. Call `setDefaultSessionDataViewId` with the chosen ID.
4. Ask the user which segments to compare if not already specified. Confirm the metrics to compare them on.

---

## Phase 1 — Identify Segments to Compare

### 1.1 From user description

If the user named specific segments, resolve them:
```
findSegments(search: "<segment name>")
```

For each match, call `describeSegment` to verify it is the correct one:
```
describeSegment(segmentId: "<id>")
```

Show the segment definition summary to the user if there is ambiguity:
> "I found two segments matching 'mobile users': **Mobile Visitors (All Devices)**
> and **Mobile App Users**. Which do you want to compare?"

### 1.2 From plain-English descriptions

If the user says "compare mobile vs desktop users" but there are no matching
segments, offer to create ad hoc segments inline for the comparison:
> "I don't see pre-built segments for mobile and desktop. I can create
````
