The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.6/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 3bce40d

Tested it on a champion-relayed objection ('my legal team has concerns about data handling') instead of the SKILL's own worked example — it correctly combined the Team-Based Objection Handling section (equip the champion, ask for direct access) with the Technical/compliance script, something a plain unscripted reply skipped entirely. (Listed here under our older name; the skill's own name is "Objection Handling".)

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

What Objection Handling does

Builds a full objection-handling playbook using the Acknowledge-Clarify-Respond-Confirm framework, covering price, timing, competition, status-quo, and authority objections, plus a dedicated multi-touch ghosting re-engagement sequence and guidance for objections relayed secondhand through a champion. Reads .agents/sales-context.md if present for value-prop-specific responses, otherwise asks for product/pricing/competitor context first. Frontmatter name is 'objection-handling' (the old card called it 'objection-handler').
