When should I use The Pipeline Scanner?

Forecast keeps slipping, and stuck deals aren't getting flagged until it's too late to save them. That's the diagnostic trigger. Once installed, ask Claude for the outcome ("analyze pipeline health, stuck deals, and forecast risk") and the skill kicks in automatically.

How does The Pipeline Scanner work under the hood?

The Pipeline Scanner is part of the Account Executive pack in Sid Chaudhary's gtm-skills repo. When invoked, Claude reads the SKILL.md, pulls your shared product-context (ICP, brand voice, scoring model), and produces a structured output. No prompt engineering on your side.

Do I need Claude Code to run The Pipeline Scanner?

Claude Code is the fastest path since it auto-loads local skill folders. The same SKILL.md also runs in Claude Desktop and claude.ai Projects - upload the zip in Capabilities. See the install options below for both paths.

How is The Pipeline Scanner different from just prompting Claude?

A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file plus reference material - real methodology, frameworks, and benchmarks Claude loads on demand. A prompt is text you paste every time. With The Pipeline Scanner installed, you ask for what you need in plain language and Claude runs the right process without you re-explaining it.

Part of the Account Executive pack

This is one of 8 Account Executive skills. They chain - the order you run them in changes what you get, and running one in isolation usually means re-answering setup another skill already captured. 8 best Claude skills for sales walks the whole pack in the order the skills actually chain.

Questions about The Pipeline Scanner

Everything you need before installing, plus how the skill actually behaves once Claude picks it up.

Full pipeline health analysis - stuck deals, risk signals, forecast by stage, coverage ratio. It's a Claude Agent Skill - a folder with a SKILL.md file and reference material - so Claude loads the methodology on demand when you ask for what you need in plain language, instead of you pasting a template.
