Install it

View source on GitHub ↗

git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/louisblythe/Sales-Skills.git /tmp/Sales-Skills
git -C /tmp/Sales-Skills sparse-checkout set "skills/empathy"
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/empathy
cp -R "/tmp/Sales-Skills/skills/empathy/." ~/.claude/skills/empathy/

Picked up without a restart. A project skill of the same name is shadowed by your personal one. For one repository only, swap ~/.claude/skills for .claude/skills. Claude Code docs ↗

Or take the whole library

This repo ships a .claude-plugin manifest, so Claude Code can install all 122 skills at once. Plugin skills are invoked as /<plugin>:<skill>, so they never collide with your own.

/plugin marketplace add louisblythe/Sales-Skills
/plugin

The folder is the same in every client that implements the format — 46 of them — so if yours is not above, only the destination changes.

The skill

Source on GitHub ↗

The source carries no licence at all, so no permission to redistribute it exists. Everything else on this page is our own reading of the file and is published here; the text of the skill is not, and stays where its author put it.

Need help setting it up?

This page tells you what empathy does and what it needs. Cheetah builds the agent setup it runs inside: data, CRM, sequencing and the guardrails.
