Its own description scopes it to first/discovery calls, and that held up in testing: a 'prep for a QBR with an existing customer' prompt correctly did not trigger it, confirming the card's own concern that this isn't a drop-in replacement for generic 'any sales call' prep. (Listed here under our older name; the skill's own name is "Discovery Call".)

What Discovery Call does
Builds a pre-call brief, layered situation/pain/impact/vision question list, and PACT (Pain, Authority, Consequence, Timeline) qualification scorecard for a first or discovery call with a prospect -- openly credits SPIN Selling as the methodology source. It's scoped specifically to first/qualifying calls, not general prep for any sales call; a renewal, QBR, or late-stage call prompt correctly does not trigger it. The real frontmatter name is discovery-call, not call-prep.
