# Support Toolkit

## Overview

Support tools define how customers experience your company when things go
wrong — and when they need help getting things right. The mistake: buying
the tool your last company used instead of the tool that matches your stage,
team, and support philosophy. This skill covers deep configuration across
the support stack.

## Authoritative Foundations

## When to Use

Trigger phrases: "support platform setup", "Intercom configuration",
"Zendesk deep setup", "support tool comparison", "AI support agent setup"

Platform selection: `references/platform-comparison.md` · SLAs: `templates/sla-matrix.md`

## Platform Deep Configuration

### Intercom — Best for Product-Led SaaS
```
Setup checklist:
1. Fin AI agent: train on 30+ help center articles → test 50 real questions
2. Messenger: contextual article suggestions before "talk to human"
3. Macros: 15+ for top ticket types (reset password, billing question, etc.)
4. Product Tours: onboarding flow (guided setup → first value)
5. Series: 3 automated email sequences (onboarding, engagement, expansion)
6. Reports: CSAT (target 4.2+), resolution time (target < 4hrs), volume
```

### Zendesk — Best for Enterprise and Multi-Channel
```
Setup checklist:
1. Ticket fields: type, priority, product area, customer tier
2. SLA policies: P1 (15min FRT), P2 (1hr), P3 (4hr), P4 (8hr)
3. Triggers: auto-assign, auto-respond, escalate on keywords
4. Views: My Open, Unassigned, High Priority, All Open
5. Macros: 20+ for common responses
6. Guide (KB): 30+ articles published before launching chat
7. Explore: team performance dashboard, CSAT trends, volume by channel
```

## Implementation Checklist

- [ ] Knowledge base: 30+ articles before launching chat/AI agent
- [ ] AI agent trained and tested with 50 real questions (95%+ correct)
- [ ] Macros: 15+ for top ticket types
- [ ] SLA policies documented with FRT + resolution targets
- [ ] CSAT survey: post-resolution, scores < 3 auto-escalated
- [ ] Escalation path: L1 → L2 → L3 documented with triggers

## Common Pitfalls

1. **AI agent launched without training data.** 5 help articles → 70% wrong
   answers → frustrated customers. Fix: 30+ articles. Test with 50 questions.
2. **Chat widget on every page.** Noise. Distraction. Fix: Pricing, help center,
   and post-signup only.
3. **No SLAs.** "We respond quickly" = no commitment. Fix: Specific FRT targets
   by priority. Measured. Reported. Reviewed weekly.


## Output Format

The agent delivers a support platform configuration guide matched to the user's tool and team stage:

- **Platform Recommendation** (when selection is requested): scoring across stage fit, team size, and support philosophy — with a 1-line rationale for Intercom vs. Zendesk vs. Front vs. Help Scout
- **Platform Setup Checklist:** prioritized configuration steps for the chosen tool — AI agent training (article count target + 50-question QA protocol), macros for top ticket types, SLA policy definitions, view configuration, and reporting setup
- **Knowledge Base Plan:** article count target (minimum 30 before launching chat), topic coverage map by product area, and Fin/AI training QA pass rate threshold (95%+ on test set)
- **SLA Matrix:** Priority tiers (P1–P4) with First Response Time target, resolution target, escalation trigger, and measurement method
- **CSAT & Reporting Dashboard:** metric targets (CSAT ≥ 4.2, resolution time by tier), review cadence, and auto-escalation rule for scores below threshold

## Quality Check

Before delivering, verify:
- [ ] All required sections complete
- [ ] Output matches the user's stated need
- [ ] No vague or unsupported claims
- [ ] Frameworks cited where applicable

## Execution Artifacts

- `references/framework-notes.md` — named frameworks, citation anchors, and operating assumptions
- `templates/output-template.md` — copy-paste deliverable structure for the user
- `scripts/check-output.py` — local checklist validator for required sections
This skill includes lightweight artifacts the agent can load on demand:
- `references/platform-comparison.md` — Intercom vs Zendesk vs Front vs Help Scout
- `templates/sla-matrix.md` — P1–P4 FRT and resolution targets
Use the artifacts when the user asks for an implementation-ready deliverable, a repeatable workflow, or a quality check rather than generic advice.
