insurgent-campaign

Grassroots-first campaign design for anyone being outspent — startups vs. incumbents, NGOs vs. corporate comms, movements vs. state-backed machines, solo brands vs. big-budget competitors. Ideates awareness, launch, fundraising, mobilization, community-build, counter-narrative, referral, founder-story, and coalition campaigns. Triggers on "campaign plan", "marketing strategy", "ad budget", "should I advertise", "paid vs organic", "launch plan", "grassroots", "low budget marketing", "NGO campaign", "outspent", "competitor has bigger budget", "how do I compete without money". Also trigger on any spend asymmetry, collapsing organic reach, rising CPAs, or a trust/credibility problem — even without the word "campaign". Nudge activation when the user debates buying ads, boosting posts, or hiring influencers; they are likely about to burn money on a channel that will not persuade.

Quality

Content

66%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A highly structured, deeply actionable campaign-design skill with exemplary workflow sequencing, validation gates, feedback loops, and a well-organized one-level reference bundle. Its main weakness is verbosity: deliberate cross-stage repetition, explanatory argumentation in the Core Premise, and inline time-sensitive stats make the body roughly twice the length a lean SKILL.md overview would be.

Suggestions

Consolidate the anti-fabrication rule into a single Stage 2 statement and reference it by name from Stage 4, Stage 5/5b, and Principles instead of restating it four times — cuts several hundred words without losing the discipline.

Move the Core Premise empirical argumentation (Lewis & Rao citation, CPA/engagement stats, Hungary 2026 summary) into a references/evidence-base.md file, keeping only the one-line thesis inline — removes time-sensitive inline data and theory Claude already knows.

Replace the Failure Modes Quick Reference table (which restates the per-stage Contracts) with a pointer to the Contracts, or fold each failure mode into its own stage only, to eliminate the duplicate restatement.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Noticeably verbose with several padded/repeated sections: the Core Premise explains advertising theory Claude largely knows ("Paid media scales attention. Organic narrative and grassroots networks scale trust"), the anti-fabrication rule is restated in Stage 2, Stage 4, Principles, and the Failure Modes table, and inline time-sensitive data ("CPA rose in 13/14 industries in 2025", "April 2026", "October 2025") pads the body rather than living in a reference; not a 3 because the repetition and argumentation go beyond "some" tightening, not a 1 because most content is novel operational logic rather than basic-concept explanation.

2 / 5

Actionability

Mostly concrete and executable — specific asymmetry thresholds (mild 1:2–1:5, severe 1:5–1:50, categorical 1:50+), the 8 fields, MMF gate numeric thresholds (≥10 people, 3/5 commit), the capacity cut rule, and budget-based lift-test template selection; not a 5 because a few items defer execution to references or name undefined patterns ("use the alternative-generator pattern", "Self / Us / Now" framework), not a 3 because the inline decision logic is concrete and specific rather than pseudocode.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Seven explicitly sequenced stages (1, 2, 3, 3a, 4, 5, 5b) each with a Contract block, explicit validation checkpoints (Preconditions 0–6, MMF gate 0–3), feedback loops (2/3 inserts a "1–2 week validation cycle"; re-validate on failure), hard stop points ("do NOT produce Sections 8–11 until the selection has been made"), and a Failure Modes Quick Reference checklist; the destructive/batch cap does not apply because validation is pervasive.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Bundle structure is strong — seven one-level-deep reference files, all verified present and clearly signaled in a "References (read when relevant)" section with per-file descriptions, no reference chains; not a 5 because the ~750-line body is a full operational manual rather than a concise overview (anchor 5 implies a lean overview), leaving a minor organization gap, not a 3 because references are clearly signaled rather than buried.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, information-dense description that names concrete capabilities, includes an extensive natural-language trigger list, and explicitly covers both what the skill does and when to apply it, all in third person with no over-claims. It is among the better-formed skill descriptions: every clause earns its place and the trigger surface is unusually thorough.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names multiple concrete actions — "Ideates awareness, launch, fundraising, mobilization, community-build, counter-narrative, referral, founder-story, and coalition campaigns" plus "audits the user's spend asymmetry...assembles an insurgent channel stack, sets strict boost gates...produces a lift-test plan" — comprehensive coverage matching the score-5 anchor; not a 4 because the action list is exhaustive rather than having minor gaps.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both "what" (grassroots-first campaign design, ideation, asymmetry audit, channel stack, lift-test plan) and "when" via the explicit "Triggers on...", "Also trigger on...", and "Nudge activation when..." clauses with concrete trigger phrases; not a 4 because the when-clause is explicit and specific rather than weakly implied.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Extensive natural-language triggers users would actually say — "campaign plan", "should I advertise", "paid vs organic", "low budget marketing", "outspent", "competitor has bigger budget", "how do I compete without money" — with synonyms and symptom-based triggers ("rising CPAs", "collapsing organic reach"); not a 4 because coverage is comprehensive rather than missing a few natural terms.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche — "campaign design for anyone being outspent" / "grassroots" / "insurgent" — with distinct triggers ("outspent", "grassroots", "low budget marketing") unlikely to fire for unrelated skills; not a 4 because the niche and triggers are sharply distinct with minimal overlap risk.
