The Pipeline Scanner
Analyze pipeline health, stuck deals, and forecast risk
$ npx skills add sidchaudhary/gtm-skills/skills/account-executive/the-pipeline-scannerWhat it does
Full pipeline health analysis - stuck deals, risk signals, forecast by stage, coverage ratio.
You'll know it's time when...
Forecast keeps slipping, and stuck deals aren't getting flagged until it's too late to save them.
How it works
Run it in three steps
Install
Copy the install command above and run it in your project.
Ask Claude
Ask for what you need in plain English, no prompt tuning required.
Get the output
Claude returns a structured artifact aligned to your ICP and voice.
Context
- Check for
.agents/product-context.md; if missing, ask the user to run/gtm:product-contextfirst. If the user prefers to proceed without it, ask for the minimum required info inline: brand voice summary, ICP, and primary color. - Read
.agents/product-context.mdfor deal stages, average sales cycle length, and stage definitions.
Boundary: For a deep-dive on a single deal, use
the-deal-gauge.
Inputs
- Ask: "Describe your pipeline: list each deal with its stage, value, and last activity date. You can paste a CRM export or list them out."
- Ask: "What is your quota or revenue target this period?"
- Ask: "What is your average sales cycle length, and what deal segment is this? (SMB, Mid-Market, Enterprise)"
Process
- Read
references/deal-scoring.mdfor stage duration benchmarks and risk signal definitions. - Parse the pipeline data into a structured deal list with: deal name, stage, value, days in stage, last activity date, key contacts. If any deal is missing data fields (e.g., last activity date, deal value), note the gap and work with available data.
- Calculate deal velocity per deal: compare days in current stage against average stage duration. Flag any deal exceeding 2x the average as stuck.
- Flag risk signals per deal:
- Single-threaded (only one contact engaged)
- No activity in 14+ days
- Declining engagement or intent signals
- Missing BANT elements
- Stage regression
- Categorize each deal for forecast. Use the forecast criteria from the reference file to assign probability, not arbitrary judgment.
- Commit (>90% confidence)
- Best Case (60-90%)
- Pipeline (30-60%)
- Omit deals below 30%
- Calculate pipeline coverage ratio: total pipeline value / quota target.
- Generate a specific next action recommendation for each deal.
Output
- Before formatting the report, verify:
- Forecast categories (Commit/Best Case/Pipeline/Omit) were assigned using the reference file's criteria, not arbitrary judgment
- "Stuck" deals are flagged only when days in stage exceed 2x the average stage duration
- Any deal missing a data field is noted as a gap, not silently filled in or dropped
- The Top 3 Actions are the highest pipeline-impact items, not just the first three deals reviewed
If any check fails, fix it before delivering.
- Format the pipeline health report as:
Pipeline Summary
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total Pipeline | $X |
| Commit | $X |
| Best Case | $X |
| Pipeline | $X |
| Coverage Ratio | X.Xx |
Deal-by-Deal Analysis
| Deal | Stage | Value | Days in Stage | Health | Risk Signals | Next Action |
|---|
Stuck Deals List each stuck deal with: how long stuck, likely cause, recommended unblock action.
