Skillzip Expert OS
A 7-phase guided interview that turns your raw playbook into a publish-ready Skillzip listing. 12 multi-choice gates. ~25 minutes from blank slate to live draft on your dashboard.
Three commands, thirty seconds
Claude Code reads any markdown file in .claude/skills/ as an invocable skill. Drop our SKILL.md in there and you're done.

Each phase ends with explicit choice. No vague answers.
12 multi-choice gates total. The skill refuses to advance until you pick — surfacing trade-offs you'd skip with an empty-form approach.
Identity snapshot
Lock the buyer ICP, sub-vertical, core pain, and validation state. 4 multi-choice questions, ~3 min.
Demo design
Anatomy of the public demo + 2 draft system prompts to pick from. Capped at 300 tokens to bound API cost.
Premium extraction
Pull your master playbook out of your head. Has a 5-question Socratic sub-loop if you don't have one yet.
Pricing
Auto-computed band from ICP × content depth. Pick floor / mid / ceiling. Shows per-sale 88% take.
Listing copy
Auto-generates 3 titles + 3 taglines + tone option. You pick — never forced into a draft.
Demo examples
3 starter prompts buyers click first in the playground. Auto-derived from your master prompt.
Preview gate
Side-by-side preview of card + skill detail. You explicitly approve publish, copy JSON, edit, or save.
Push

Do I need to be on Claude Code?+
Yes — the skill executes inside Claude Code (the desktop CLI / IDE). It's a markdown file at .claude/skills/skillzip-expert/SKILL.md that Claude reads when you type the slash command.
Will this work without OMC (oh-my-claudecode)?+
Yes. The skill uses only built-in tools (AskUserQuestion, state_write, WebFetch). No OMC dependencies. If you have OMC, the experience is slightly smoother because state persistence is more robust.
What if my niche isn't Sales/Marketing?+
The skill hard-stops with a polite redirect. Skillzip's Stage 1 is vertical-locked (Sales/Marketing only). When the platform expands, this skill auto-supports the new verticals.
Can I edit the skill after publishing?+
Yes — through the dashboard at /dashboard/expert/skills/{id}. The Expert OS skill is for net-new listings; we'll ship /skillzip-edit later for revisions.
How long does the full flow take?+
25-40 minutes if you have your master playbook ready. 60-90 minutes if you use the Phase 2 co-author sub-loop to extract it from scratch.
What gets stored on Skillzip vs locally?+
The interview state is local (.skillzip-expert/draft-{slug}.json so you can resume). Only the final JSON payload is sent to Skillzip when you confirm Phase 7.
