Introduction to GTM Skills

GTM Skills is a collection of reusable prompt templates for Claude Code, Anthropic’s agentic coding tool. This skill pack covers complete outbound campaigns: research, list building, enrichment, segmentation, email generation, and sending.

What is GTM Skills?

GTM Skills provides building blocks for outbound campaigns that work with Claude Code. Each skill is a self-contained template that you can use independently or combine with others. There’s no required sequence - pick the skills you need for your workflow. The skills cover:
  • Research: Build ICP context and generate pain hypotheses
  • List Building: Find companies via Search, Discovery, or Lookalike
  • Enrichment: Add custom research columns to company tables
  • Segmentation: Tier companies by hypothesis fit and data richness
  • Email Generation: Create personalized outbound emails at scale
  • Campaign Sending: Upload leads for sequencing and sending
These skills are templates. They show one way to run GTM workflows using Extruct and Claude Code. Fork them, adapt to your workflow, swap out the tools you don’t use. The skill patterns are the value, the specific vendor integrations are up to you.
