Fetched SKILL.md + 3 supporting files (README, SCHEMA-MAP, ONBOARDING-PROMPT), all HTTP 200; frontmatter has valid name+description, no scripts, no security smells (Zapier endpoints are documentation only). Trigger: judged 3 story-from-source phrasings as load and 2 adjacent ones (cold-outreach email, product roadmap) as no-load — all 5 correct. For OUTPUT I wrote one fictional interview source (Brightpath Logistics / FleetSync, with an APPROVED time metric and an explicitly UNCONFIRMED 82%->94% on-time stat), then produced a baseline draft and a skill-following draft. The baseline published the unconfirmed stat as fact and used hype; the skill draft excluded and flagged it as [NEEDS SOURCING], added a quote/claim checklist marking each item APPROVED vs NOT CONFIRMED, plus open-questions and a publish-gating approval checklist.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 7/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Customer Story Writer does

Turns approved customer source material (interview transcripts, notes, briefs, quotes, proof points) into a narrative or metric-forward customer story draft, with a quote/claim checklist that separates verified facts from claims needing approval. Triggers when a user has customer interview material and wants a case study or customer story written from it, rather than generic case-study copy. The Zapier MCP/SDK integration for pulling sources is optional; the drafting works from material supplied directly in context.

How to install Customer Story Writer

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/zapier/gtm-cheat-codes.git /tmp/customer-story-writer-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/customer-story-writer-src/skills/customer-advocacy/customer-story-writer ~/.claude/skills/customer-story-writer
# SKILL.md is self-contained; no scripts or deps to run.
# Optional: Zapier MCP (https://mcp.zapier.com) to auto-retrieve approved transcripts/CRM/content-library
#   sources, and Zapier SDK (npx zapier-sdk login) for intake/reviewer-routing workflows. Neither is
#   required — you can paste source material directly into the prompt and the skill drafts from it.

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
