## What it does

The skill maintains `.agents/product-marketing.md`, covering the product, its audience, positioning against alternatives, objections, and reasons customers switch. The record can also capture customer wording, supporting evidence, goals, and canonical company facts. Other Suede marketing skills read it as shared context.

Start with a draft based on repository materials, or build the document through a guided conversation. During auto-drafting, each claim needs a file source; fields without one stay marked `[unverified]`. That keeps guesses about competitors and differentiators out of the project’s factual record.

When a context file already exists, the skill checks its version and recent changelog entries, then asks which sections to revise. Substantive edits require a version bump and a changelog entry. Claude Code installation uses `npx`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-product-marketing -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-product-marketing -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/suede-product-marketing/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-product-marketing -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/suede-product-marketing/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills suede-product-marketing
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/suede-product-marketing/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-product-marketing -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --path skills/suede-product-marketing
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/suede-product-marketing/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills --skill suede-product-marketing -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/JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/suede-product-marketing/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- draft a marketing context document from repository materials
- record the target audience and buyer personas
- describe positioning against real alternatives
- update objections, customer language, and supporting evidence
- track changes to shared product context

## Example prompts
- Draft `.agents/product-marketing.md` from the materials in this repository.
- Review the existing marketing context and update its audience and positioning sections.
- Collect substantiated product facts and attach a source to each field.

Every other Suede marketing skill reads it first. Use when a project needs that shared record created, auto-drafted from a codebase, or updated. NOT FOR: writing a campaign (use suede-campaign-in-a-box), conducting new customer interviews (use suede-customer-research), debating a contested positioning bet (use suede-marketing-council), or publishing brand claims."

# Suede Product Marketing Context

Suede AI Product Marketing maintains the shared evidence layer for audience,
positioning, objections, customer language, and proof. The Suede growth suite
reads this context so each downstream skill starts from the same verified
product story.

The document is stored at `.agents/product-marketing.md`.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Check for Existing Context

First, check if `.agents/product-marketing.md` already exists. Also check `.claude/product-marketing.md` and the legacy filename `product-marketing-context.md` (in either `.agents/` or `.claude/`) for older setups, if found anywhere other than `.agents/product-marketing.md`, offer to move it to the canonical location.

**If it exists:**
- Read it and summarize what's captured: note its current **Document version** and the last few **Changelog** entries so the user sees where the doc stands and what's changed recently
- Ask which sections they want to update
- Only gather info for those sections
- On any substantive save, bump the version and add a changelog entry (see Step 4). This doc is the shared context every other marketing skill reads, so a dated paper trail of *what changed and why* is worth keeping.

**If it doesn't exist, offer two options:**

1. **Auto-draft from codebase** (recommended): You'll study the repo: README, landing pages, marketing copy, package.json, etc., and draft a V1 of the context document. The user then reviews, corrects, and fills gaps. This is faster than starting from scratch.

2. **Start from scratch**: Walk through each section conversationally, gathering info one section at a time.
