## What it does

testimonial-collector offers three modes: quick (single outreach script and template for urgent requests), standard (repeatable collection system with timing, templates, and placement guidance), and deep (full system with multi-channel strategy and case study pipeline). Before generating anything, the skill gathers context: client name, company, industry, project type, at least one concrete result or metric, desired format, and urgency. It stops and asks for specifics if results sound vague.

The skill evaluates any testimonial against a four-factor matrix—specificity, measurability, authentic voice, and length—scoring each from 1 to 5. When any factor scores below 2, it flags the gap and suggests iteration. Output includes three formats: two-line version for homepages, medium paragraph for service pages or decks, and full narrative for case studies. Each comes with a placement recommendation and guidance on where to use it.
