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.

Common Pitfalls
Trying All Skills at Once — Dilutes focus. Pick 2-3 first. Wrong Sequence — Using skills out of order wastes time. 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.
