Orchestrator Decision Tree
Use this to know when to move to the next skill:
Is my current skill working?
YES: ├─ Am I seeing results? │ ├─ YES → Continue 2-4 more weeks, then move to next │ └─ NO → Adjust and try again 1-2 more weeks │ └─ Do I have time for another skill? ├─ YES → Add next skill while continuing current └─ NO → Master current first, then move to next
NO: ├─ Is it a skill issue or execution issue? │ ├─ SKILL → Review framework, adjust approach │ └─ EXECUTION → Get help, refine execution │ └─ Should I move to a different skill? ├─ YES → Switch to higher-impact skill └─ NO → Spend more time mastering this skill

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:
- brand-voice
- positioning-angles
- 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.
