## What it does

The skill runs a guided interview to assemble a shared go-to-market plan for two companies. It evaluates one specific partner rather than scoring multiple candidates. The agent asks about audience overlap, objectives, team capacity, and existing assets before proposing a motion.

Early gating prevents wasted planning cycles. If either company lacks a named executive sponsor, has no budget, or cannot articulate value beyond joint logos, the agent halts the process. Planning cannot fix an unstaffed partnership.

Outputs focus strictly on macro decisions. It handles launch sequencing, attribution agreements, and market-development funds. Tactical copywriting, landing pages, and email drafts remain outside this workflow.

description: Plan one joint go-to-market motion with one already-chosen partner - the joint value proposition, co-marketing campaign shape, launch sequencing, budget and market-development funds, the lead-sharing and attribution agreement, and the closing debrief. Covers B2B vendor-to-vendor co-marketing, consumer co-branding, and creator collaborations. Use whenever the user mentions a joint GTM plan, partner co-marketing, a joint webinar or integration launch, or a better-together story with a named partner, even if they never say GTM. Macro strategy only, no ad copy, email bodies, or asset production. Do NOT use for direct-vs-partner deal policy - use mbfinotti/partnerships-skills@co-selling-strategy instead.

# Joint GTM Planning

Plan one joint go-to-market initiative with one specific partner. The partner is already chosen - ranking candidates belongs to `mbfinotti/partnerships-skills@alliance-prioritization`. What gets planned here is a single motion:

- The customer-facing "better together" story.
- The campaign shape.
- Who does what, with which budget.
- The launch sequence both sides commit to.
- The lead-sharing and attribution agreement.
- The debrief that decides whether to repeat.

The output is a joint GTM plan both companies can sign - a decision artifact, not campaign assets. Ad copy, email bodies, webinar scripts, and landing pages are tactical work downstream of this plan. Note the boundary with the ecosystem sibling: its joint-value-proposition workshop filters whether a partner _category_ can articulate joint value at all; this skill drafts the actual customer-facing claim for one named partner and one initiative.

## Interview

Ask before proposing anything. One question per message; offer multiple-choice options when possible. Skip anything the user already answered. If your harness has persistent memory, check it first for a previously approved plan with this partner and confirm what changed instead of re-interviewing.

- Which partner, and what state is the relationship in: newly signed, signed but dormant, active with prior campaigns, or a strategic alliance with executive ties?
- What is the initiative, and what business objective drives it: pipeline generation, an integration or product launch, entering a new segment or market, brand association, a shared event?
- Who is the target audience, and what account or audience overlap is verified - mapped overlap data, customer-interview evidence, or assumption?
- What can the two companies credibly claim together that neither can alone? A draft joint value proposition, or a blank page?
- What assets does each side already have: integration, content, customer stories, audience channels, event presence, house lists?
