> Grow a product across the funnel, from customer research to a measured experiment, firing the right marketing skill per intent and refusing to call a result a win until a number moves.
> Skills vendored from Corey Haines (MIT). See ATTRIBUTION.md. Routing by Flowy.
<!-- Pipeline flow. The engine supplies the universal contract (announce ritual,
invoke/READ, host-wins, post-compaction re-read); this file carries the funnel
spine + per-intent routing. Record each gate's artifact before moving on. -->
## Phases
Run in funnel order. Each phase exits on a named artifact; later phases read it. You
can enter mid-funnel when the earlier artifacts already exist, but never skip a gate
you have not actually met.
1. **Research**: entry: a new product, audience, or "why do they buy/churn" question. Gate: a research brief listing the top 3 customer pains plus 5 or more verbatim quotes in the customer's own words.
2. **Copy**: entry: a page needs writing or rewriting. Gate: a drafted page with one primary headline, a subheadline, and one primary CTA, each grounded in a research quote.
3. **Acquisition: SEO**: entry: organic traffic is flat or a page is not ranking. Gate: an SEO audit naming the top 5 prioritized fixes, each tagged with its target keyword or page.
Why it ships
45 hand-picked skills. One FLOW.md to glue them. Reviewed before it shipped.

4. **Acquisition: outbound**: entry: you need replies from named prospects. Gate: a cold-email sequence (first touch plus 2 or more follow-ups) with a documented personalization signal per prospect.
5. **Launch**: entry: something is about to ship publicly. Gate: a launch plan with a dated channel checklist and one owned-channel capture mechanism (waitlist or email list).
6. **Optimize**: entry: a live page has traffic but is not converting. Gate: a CRO teardown naming the top 3 conversion blockers ranked by impact, each with a proposed fix.
7. **Validate**: entry: you are about to claim a change worked. Gate: an experiment design with a single hypothesis, a primary metric, a measured baseline, and a pre-computed sample size.
After launch, cycle Research, Optimize, and Validate continuously.
## Routing
```
USER MESSAGE
│
├─ INTAKE (always first): classify the intent and the funnel stage before acting.
│ └─ new product / new audience / "who is this for?" / "why do they buy or churn?"
│ → invoke customer-research Gate: research brief with top 3 pains + 5 or more verbatim quotes. (Phase 1)
│
├─ COPY: a page needs words.
│ ├─ "write/rewrite the homepage / landing / pricing page" / "this copy is weak"
│ │ → invoke copywriting Gate: a draft with 1 headline + subheadline + 1 primary CTA, each tied to a quote. (Phase 2)
│ └─ no research brief exists yet → invoke customer-research first Gate: research brief (Phase 1) before drafting.
│
├─ ACQUISITION: get traffic.
│ ├─ "why am I not ranking?" / "SEO audit" / "organic traffic dropped"
│ │ → invoke seo-audit Gate: top 5 prioritized fixes, each tagged with a target keyword or page. (Phase 3)
│ └─ "cold outreach" / "nobody replies to my emails" / "prospecting sequence"
│ → invoke cold-email Gate: a sequence (first touch + 2 or more follow-ups) with a personalization signal per prospect. (Phase 4)
│
├─ LAUNCH: something ships publicly.
│ └─ "Product Hunt" / "feature announcement" / "go-to-market" / "we're about to ship"
│ → invoke launch Gate: a dated channel checklist + one owned-channel capture (waitlist or list). (Phase 5)
│ → invoke cro Gate: top 3 conversion blockers ranked by impact, each with a proposed fix. (Phase 6)
│
├─ DONE-CHECK (before ANY "this worked / it converts better / it's an improvement" claim):
│ └─ about to claim a change won → invoke ab-testing Gate: hypothesis + primary metric + measured baseline + pre-computed sample size; no win claimed until the result clears significance. (Phase 7)
│
├─ ADVISE-ONLY: the user asks you to explain or critique, not to produce an asset.
│ └─ answer from the relevant skill's principles; do NOT run the full phase or claim a gate was met.
│
├─ SCOPE CHANGE: the audience, product, or offer changed mid-stream.
│ └─ re-enter Phase 1 (Research); a stale research brief invalidates downstream copy and tests.
│
├─ BLOCKED: a gate needs an input you do not have (no traffic, no prospect list, no analytics access).
│ └─ name the missing input, note the resume condition, and stop; do not fabricate the artifact to move on.
│
├─ REVIEW-LOOP: feedback came back on a draft or a test result.
│ └─ re-enter that phase's skill, redline against the gate, and re-verify the artifact before shipping.
│
└─ DEFAULT (no branch fits): say Routing: none, ask one scoping question, do NOT guess a phase.
```
## Priority on collision
1. **Blocked**: if a gate's input is missing, stop and name it; never fabricate the artifact.
2. **Scope changed**: a new audience/product/offer re-enters Research before anything downstream.
3. **Done-check**: any "this worked" claim routes to ab-testing first; a win is measured, not asserted.
4. **Lifecycle order**: do not start a later phase while an earlier gate it depends on is unmet.
5. **Advisory**: an explain/critique request answers from principles without running the phase.
6. **Default**: nothing fits: ask one scoping question, do not guess.
## You are rationalizing if you think…
- "Ship the copy, it reads great, skip the test." → A headline that reads great is a hypothesis, not a result. Route to ab-testing and measure the new copy against the baseline before claiming a lift.
- "Write the page now, I already know the customer." → Memory is not a research brief. Run customer-research for the verbatim quotes first; copy grounded in real language outconverts copy grounded in assumption.
- "Conversions went up after launch, the change worked." → Up versus what, over what sample? Without a measured baseline and a pre-computed sample size, that is noise. Done-check through ab-testing.
- "Just blast the cold email to the whole list." → Outbound with no per-prospect personalization signal is spam and tanks reply rates. The cold-email gate requires a documented signal per prospect.
