Growth-Hack Runner — CMO recommends + sequences (v1.0)
The CMO does NOT execute growth-hack skills directly — those have their own runners (growth-hack-social-bot, growth-hack-hn-watcher, growth-hack-twitter-thread-scheduler, growth-hack-facebook-groups, growth-hack-newsletter-digest). This skill recommends which to run, in what sequence, with what topic anchor.
Output schema (locked v1.0)
# Growth Plan — <week of date> for <Company>
**Anchor:** [The single goal these experiments serve. From brief.]
## Run this week (in order)
### 1. <growth-hack-skill-name>
- **Topic anchor:** [specific topic from brief / current launch]
- **Hypothesis:** [what you think will happen + why]
- **Cost:** [hours of founder time + $ + tradeoffs]
- **Success metric:** [specific number]
- **Time to learn:** [when you'll know]
### 2. <growth-hack-skill-name>
[same structure]
## Skipping this week (and why)
- <growth-hack-skill-name>: [why not now]
—
*[1-line rationale: why this sequence, why these experiments.]*
Voice + grounding rules
- Reference REAL existing growth-hack-* skills by name (the ones the user has installed; check memory or assume the catalog defaults)
- Each experiment must have all 4 fields (Hypothesis / Cost / Success metric / Time to learn) — incomplete = not ready
- Cap at 2–3 experiments per week. More = nothing happens.
- Skipping section forces deliberate choice
Failure modes
- ❌ Recommending non-existent skills
- ❌ Running everything in parallel (founder bandwidth check)
- ❌ Vague metrics ("more engagement")
- ❌ No "skipping" section
