Build Routine

I'll propose a complete sales routine — frameworks, schedules, dashboard pin — based on your archetype, configured providers, and captured context. You approve, I install. Hybrid pattern: propose is pure (import-direct) so it's instant; install is side-effecting (shell-out).

When This Skill Applies

Use this skill when the user says:

• "build my sales routine"
• "show me what YALC would auto-configure"
• "propose a routine for me"
• "set up a sales routine"
• "auto-derive my routine"

NOT this skill (use setup instead):

• "set up YALC" / "/setup" — that's the full onboarding flow. This skill is the routine step inside it (or after it), not the whole onboarding.

NOT this skill (use launch-linkedin-campaign instead):

• "launch a campaign" — that's per-result-set outreach. This skill installs the framework that makes campaigns possible.

NOT this skill (use qualify-leads instead):

• "qualify these leads" — single pipeline run. This skill orchestrates the broader cadence.

What This Skill Does

1. Propose (import-direct). Imports generateRoutine from src/lib/routine/generator.ts, gathers inputs (capabilities available, archetype, context, hypothesis-locked flag), and produces a Routine object with frameworks + schedules + dashboard pin + per-entry rationale.
2. Renders the proposal cleanly so you can audit each pick.
3. Asks: install / show only / cancel.
4. Install (shell-out). On "install", runs npx tsx src/cli/index.ts routine:install --yes. Writes ~/.gtm-os/routine.yaml and pins the dashboard route in ~/.gtm-os/config.yaml.
5. Renders install result + offers follow-ups.

What This Skill Does NOT

• Run any of the proposed frameworks. Install ≠ execute. Frameworks run on their declared schedule (or via framework:run / trigger).
• Send outreach. That's launch-linkedin-campaign.
• Invent new frameworks. The proposal is over the existing framework registry.

Pre-flight

test -f ~/.gtm-os/.in-flight-setup && echo "BLOCKED" || echo "OK"

If BLOCKED, stop and tell the user to finish yalc-gtm start first.

Workflow

Step 0 — No user input needed for the proposal

Routine generation is deterministic. Skip to Step 1.

Step 1 — PROPOSE (import-direct, hybrid)

Per docs/skills-architecture.md, the propose step is import-direct because routine generation is pure (rule-based, no I/O after input gathering) and chained shell-outs cost ~2.6s per the benchmark.

Generate /tmp/yalc-skill-build-routine-propose.mjs from the gtm-os root:

cd ~/Desktop/gtm-os && cat > /tmp/yalc-skill-build-routine-propose.mjs <<'RUNNEREOF'
import { generateRoutine } from `${process.env.PWD}/src/lib/routine/generator.ts`
import { gatherEnvironment, loadCompanyContext } from `${process.env.PWD}/src/lib/frameworks/recommend.ts`
import { readArchetypePreference } from `${process.env.PWD}/src/lib/config/archetype-pref.ts`
import { loadOutboundHypothesis } from `${process.env.PWD}/src/lib/frameworks/outbound-hypothesis.ts`
import { getCapabilityRegistryReady } from `${process.env.PWD}/src/lib/providers/capabilities.ts`

const reg = await getCapabilityRegistryReady()
const capabilitiesAvailable = reg
  .list()
  .flatMap((c) => c.providers.filter((p) => p.available).map((p) => `${c.capability}/${p.id}`))
const archetype = readArchetypePreference()
const context = await loadCompanyContext()
const hypothesis = await loadOutboundHypothesis('outreach-campaign-builder')
const env = await gatherEnvironment()

const routine = generateRoutine({
  capabilitiesAvailable,
  envHasAnthropic: env.envHasAnthropic,
  archetype,
  context,
  hypothesisLocked: hypothesis !== null,
})

process.stdout.write(JSON.stringify(routine, null, 2))
process.stdout.write('\n')
RUNNEREOF

Path note: template literals with ${process.env.PWD} resolve at script runtime to the gtm-os absolute path. tsx resolves relative imports against the script directory (/tmp/), not cwd, so absolute paths are required.

Run it:

cd ~/Desktop/gtm-os && npx tsx /tmp/yalc-skill-build-routine-propose.mjs

If the import-direct runner errors (e.g., a generator signature changed), fall back:

cd ~/Desktop/gtm-os && npx tsx src/cli/index.ts routine:propose --json

Same JSON shape, slower path.

Step 2 — Render the proposal

Group by section:

• Frameworks — for each entry in routine.frameworks, show name + schedule + rationale. If deferred: true, mark it explicitly (e.g., outreach-campaign-builder defers when no hypothesis is locked).
• Default dashboard — show which /dashboard/<archetype> route the routine pins.
• Archetypes covered — show which of A/B/C/D fired predicates in this proposal.

See references/example-output.md for the rendered format.

Step 3 — Ask the user

"Install this routine? Choices:

• install — routine:install --yes writes ~/.gtm-os/routine.yaml + pins the dashboard. Idempotent.
• show only — keep the proposal in chat, don't write anything.
• cancel — discard."

Step 4 — INSTALL (shell-out)

If user says install:

cd ~/Desktop/gtm-os && set -a && source .env.local && set +a && \
  npx tsx src/cli/index.ts routine:install --yes

Optional flags if the user asks:

• --dry-run — print actions without writing
• --only <name1,name2> — install a subset of the proposed frameworks

Per docs/skills-architecture.md: install is side-effecting (DB + config writes) → always shell-out, regardless of pure/chained classification.

Step 5 — Parse install output + render

The CLI prints per-entry status (installed, already-installed, skipped because deferred). Render cleanly.

Step 6 — Offer follow-ups

"Routine installed. Next moves: (a) Qualify your existing leads via qualify-leads? (b) Open the dashboard via yalc-gtm dashboard? (c) Lock an outbound hypothesis (Step 10 of setup) so outreach-campaign-builder un-defers?"

Failure surfacing — verbatim

If either path errors, paste the stderr unchanged.

Notes

• The proposal is deterministic: same inputs → same Routine. Re-running routine:propose is safe and cheap.
• Install is idempotent: re-running with the same Routine no-ops on already-installed frameworks.
• routine.yaml lives at ~/.gtm-os/routine.yaml. The dashboard pin lands in ~/.gtm-os/config.yaml under dashboard.default_route.
• The hybrid pattern earns its keep here because Step 1 (propose) and Step 4 (install) are chained for the user; with all-shell-out, this skill would cost ~1.5s instead of ~700ms.
