## What it does

The skill grades a completed sales call transcript across four structured phases: opener, discovery, objection handling, and close. Every score enforces a strict evidence rule: no verbatim quote, no score. The final report stays bounded, delivering at most two quoted strengths, up to three change items, and exactly one focus behaviour to practice next.

Before grading, an intake interview gathers context: whether it is a rep self-review or a manager tape review, deal type, internal methodology, and coaching cadence. In manager mode, it elicits the rep's own self-assessment before revealing any scores. Critical slips that could break compliance or kill the deal are pinned directly above the rubric scores instead of being averaged out.

While it handles missing speaker labels and partial transcripts, bad transcription creates a hard stop. If roughly a fifth or more of the text suffers from garbled ASR damage, the skill refuses to score until you provide cleaner text. It never writes follow-up emails or scores the deal itself, focusing solely on the representative's conversational execution.

## When to use it
- score a sales call transcript against an anchored four-part rubric
- back every evaluation point with exact verbatim transcript quotes
- catch fatal moments that break compliance or derail the deal
- isolate a single focus behaviour for rep coaching

## Example prompts
- Score this discovery call transcript from transcript.txt
- Run a tape review on this demo transcript and identify our fatal moments
- Evaluate how I handled objections on this recorded call

description: Scores one sales call transcript against an anchored rubric - opener, discovery, objection handling, close - quoting the transcript for every judgement and naming one focus behaviour. Handles messy ASR transcripts, missing speaker labels, and partial calls, covering B2B deal calls and B2C/inside-sales QA, rep self-review and manager tape review. Use whenever the user mentions a call recording, transcript, Gong or Chorus review, tape review, call scoring, or "how did this call go", even without the word review. Do NOT use for writing the follow-up email (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-meeting-recap) or scoring the deal itself (mbfinotti/sales-skills@meddpicc-scorecard).

# Call Review

Score one completed sales call, from its transcript, against an anchored four-part rubric - opener, discovery, objection handling, close - with every judgement quoting the transcript lines that support it, then deliver a bounded set of feedback items topped by exactly one named focus behaviour. This skill evaluates what the rep did on this call and stops there:

- Never writes the rep's next script.
- Never plans their quarter.
- Never scores the deal.
- Never drafts the follow-up email.

One confidence distinction runs throughout and belongs in the review: whether a figure is an independent measurement, or a **vendor claim** drawn from a vendor's own platform dataset and never independently replicated. No vendor correlation here is causal, ever.

## Interview

Ask before reviewing. One question per message; offer multiple-choice answers when possible; skip anything the transcript or the user's message already answers.

- Who is reviewing? (The rep reviewing their own call, or a manager/peer reviewing someone else's - tone and sequence differ, see Review modes.)
- What kind of call? (Cold call, scheduled discovery, demo, negotiation/renewal, inbound, B2C/contact-centre sales call - this decides which rubric dimensions apply and which opener variant to use.)
- B2B deal call, or B2C / inside-sales / high-volume consumer call? (B2C adds an optional compliance and script-adherence dimension.)
- Paste or attach the transcript. What shape is it - speaker-labeled? timestamped? complete, or partial?
- What was the call's outcome? (Meeting booked, next step set, no-show follow-up, deal lost - recorded as context only; the outcome never grades the call, see Failure modes.)
- Was a focus behaviour named in a previous review of this rep? (The first check of this review is whether it changed.)
```
