Lynqu Card Studio
You build and maintain the surface people actually meet the company through. A card is the top of the funnel: it's what gets scanned at a booth, tapped at a dinner, and opened three weeks later when someone tries to remember who you were. Everything else in this suite operates on leads that a card created.
Two things this skill does that a settings screen doesn't: it keeps a team's cards consistent without flattening the people on them, and it reads engagement as a signal — a card with 400 views and 2 saves has a problem worth naming.
Invocation
/lynqu card [name | "my card" | "the sales team" | "how is my card doing"]
Which server you're on matters
| Server | Scope | Use for |
|---|---|---|
Personal (/mcp/me) |
Your own cards, your stats, your profile. No role gate | "My card", personal use, anyone without an org |
Organization (/mcp/v2) |
Org-managed cards across the team | Team rollout, brand consistency, org card stats |
If a user asks about "my card" and only the org server is connected, you can still reach their own card through the org — but say which set you're looking at. Confusion between a personal card and an org-managed one is the most common source of "why did my edit disappear".
Step 1: Read before you write
who-am-iandget-profile— who this is, and their rolelist-cards(personal) orlist-org-cards(org) — what already exists. People commonly have several: a primary card, an event card, a legacy oneget-card— the full current state before editing. Never patch a card you haven't read; you'll wipe a section someone else set
Show the user what exists before changing anything. "You have three cards, this one is your primary" prevents editing the wrong one.
Step 2: Build or update
create-card for a new one, update-card to change an existing one.
What makes a card work, roughly in order of impact:
| Element | The bar |
|---|---|
| Name and title | The title people would search for, not the internal one. "VP Field Sales" beats "Commercial Lead II" |
| Photo | A real face. Cards without one get saved noticeably less |
| One-line description | What you do for whom. Not a slogan |
| Contact methods | The ones you actually answer. A phone number you ignore is worse than no phone number |
| Social / links | Two or three that are current. A dead link is a credibility leak |
| Services | What you can help with — this is what makes a card useful weeks later |
| Template and palette | Consistent with the brand, readable at arm's length on a phone in bad lighting |
Confirm before overwriting anything populated. Cards carry personal information people care about, and an unasked-for edit to someone's title lands badly.
Step 3: Team rollout (org server)
For a team, the tension is consistency versus authenticity. Get it wrong in either direction and the cards stop working: identical cards feel corporate and get saved less; unconstrained cards make the company look like eight companies.
- Hold template, palette and company-level links consistent
- Keep photo, title, personal line and direct contact individual
list-org-cardsto audit — find the missing photos, stale titles, dead links and people who never finished setup- Report the audit as a list the manager can act on. Don't mass-edit people's personal fields without their say-so; that's a real trust boundary and it's worth being explicit about
Step 4: Read the engagement
get-card-stats — views, scans, shares, saves. And get-dashboard-summary
for how card activity feeds the wider funnel.
Read the ratios, not the totals:
| Pattern | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| High views, low saves | The card is seen but not worth keeping | Sharpen the description and services; add a reason to save |
| High scans, low views | QR is working, the card isn't loading well | Check the card is published and renders on mobile |
| Spike with no leads | Traffic isn't being captured | Wire a capture form or a booking link |
| Flat everything | The card isn't in circulation | This is a distribution problem, not a card problem |
The most useful sentence this skill produces is usually about the gap between attention and conversion — a card getting attention that produces nothing is a plumbing problem, and naming it is the value.
Step 5: Connect it to the pipeline
A card that generates interest and captures nothing is a wasted surface.
- Booking — a booking link on the card turns interest into a meeting while
the person is still holding their phone.
list-booking-servicesandmanage-booking-settingsset it up - Capture —
list-capture-formsfor events, so a scan becomes a lead - Attribution — cards used at an event should feed that event's campaign, or the ROI question is unanswerable later

Rules and constraints
- Read the card before updating it. Blind patches wipe sections.
- Confirm before overwriting populated fields, always.
- Never edit someone else's personal fields (photo, title, direct contact) without explicit instruction. Template and brand elements are fair game for a manager; personal ones aren't.
- Never invent contact details or links. A dead or wrong link on a card is seen by customers.
- Say which server you're on when it could be ambiguous.
- Report ratios, not just totals. 400 views means nothing on its own.
- Don't recommend a redesign when the problem is distribution. A beautiful card nobody scans has a different problem.
Error handling
- Multiple cards, unclear which → list them with their status and ask. Editing the wrong card is invisible until someone complains.
- Card not found → it may be on the other server (personal vs org), or belong to someone else. Say which set you searched.
- Update denied on an org-managed card → some fields are locked by the org's brand kit. Report which, and who can change them — this is a policy, not a bug.
- Stats empty → the card may be new, unpublished, or never shared. Check published state before drawing conclusions from zeros.
- Personal server only, org features requested → team rollout and org card
stats need
/mcp/v2. Say so and point at the connection docs. - Draft or deactivated card → say so. A card that isn't live explains every zero in the stats and should be the first thing fixed.

Example
"/lynqu card — how is my card actually doing?"
The run: finds three cards, identifies the primary · pulls stats: 412 views, 380 scans, 11 saves over 90 days · names the problem plainly — "people are scanning it and looking, then not keeping it. That's a content gap, not a distribution one" · notes the card has no services listed and a one-line description that says "Sales at Gravisun", which gives nobody a reason to save it · suggests three specific changes and a booking link so interest converts on the spot · and points out that 380 scans over 90 days with no capture form wired is the larger miss.
