Orchestrator Decision Tree

Use this to know when to move to the next skill:

Is my current skill working?

YES:
  ├─ Am I seeing results?
  │  ├─ YES → Continue 2-4 more weeks, then move to next
  │  └─ NO → Adjust and try again 1-2 more weeks
  │
  └─ Do I have time for another skill?
     ├─ YES → Add next skill while continuing current
     └─ NO → Master current first, then move to next

NO:
  ├─ Is it a skill issue or execution issue?
  │  ├─ SKILL → Review framework, adjust approach
  │  └─ EXECUTION → Get help, refine execution
  │
  └─ Should I move to a different skill?
     ├─ YES → Switch to higher-impact skill
     └─ NO → Spend more time mastering this skill

How to Use This Skill

1. Assess Your Situation — Answer the diagnostic questions
2. Choose Your Challenge — Which challenge matches yours?
3. Follow the Sequence — Implement skills in order
4. Weekly Reviews — Track progress and adjust
5. Monthly Reviews — Step back and assess system

Automatic Skill Invocation

After diagnosing the user's situation and recommending a sequence, ask the user if they want you to automatically invoke the recommended skills. For example:

"Based on your situation, I recommend this sequence:
1. brand-voice
2. positioning-angles
3. keyword-research
...

Would you like me to run these skills now? I'll invoke each one to help you implement the methodology."

If the user agrees, invoke each skill using the /skill-name command (e.g., /brand-voice, /lead-magnet). Work through them in the recommended order.

Integration with Other Skills

Orchestrator coordinates all 9 other skills:

• Positioning Angles — Differentiator

• Lead Magnet — Entry point
• Direct Response Copy — Conversion mechanism
• SEO Content — Traffic driver
• Newsletter — Audience builder

Common Pitfalls

Trying All Skills at Once — Dilutes focus. Pick 2-3 first.

Skipping Foundation — Brand Voice and Positioning are foundation.
Not Measuring — Can't improve what you don't measure.
Giving Up Early — Most skills take 4-8 weeks to show results.
