Instructions

When the user runs /octave:enablement:

Step 1: Determine Content Type

If no type specified, ask:

What enablement material do you need?

DAILY REFERENCE
1. Quick Reference Card - One-page cheat sheet for a topic
2. Objection Handling Guide - "They say X, we say Y" from real conversations
3. Discovery Question Bank - Questions organized by persona and stage

COMPETITIVE
4. Competitive Cheat Sheet - Pocket-sized competitive positioning guide

TEAM DEVELOPMENT
5. New Hire Onboarding Kit - Library walkthrough + essentials for new reps
6. Persona Deep-Dive - Everything a rep needs to know about selling to a persona
7. Playbook Quick Reference - Condensed playbook for quick consumption

Your choice:

Then ask for focus:

What's the focus?

1. Specific persona: [List personas]
2. Specific product: [List products]
3. Specific competitor: [List competitors]
4. Specific playbook: [List playbooks]
5. General / all

Step 2: Gather Intelligence

Enablement materials are unique because they blend library data with conversation evidence:

# Get the focus entity
get_entity({ oId: "<entity_oId>" })

# Get related playbook
get_playbook({ oId: "<playbook_oId>", includeValueProps: true })

# Get real objections from conversations
list_findings({
  query: "objections pushback concerns hesitation",
  startDate: "<180 days ago>",
  eventFilters: {
    personas: ["<persona_oId>"]  // if persona-focused
  }
})

# Get positive signals (what's working)
list_findings({
  query: "positive reaction excited interested resonated",
  startDate: "<180 days ago>",
  eventFilters: {
    sentiments: ["POSITIVE"]
  }
})

# Get pain points mentioned
list_findings({
  query: "pain points challenges frustrations problems",
  startDate: "<180 days ago>"
})

# Get proof points
search_knowledge_base({
  query: "<focus area> results metrics",
  entityTypes: ["proof_point", "reference"]
})

# Get competitors for context
list_all_entities({ entityType: "competitor" })

# Get brand voice
list_all_entities(entityType: "brand_voice")

Generation Mode Note

This skill uses Octave's generate_content and generate_email tools by default. Two alternatives:

• Saved agents: Check for matching agents with list_agents when relevant. See /octave:explore-agents.
• Claude-direct: Skip generate_* calls, gather Octave context, Claude writes directly. Offer when user wants more control.

For the full interactive mode selector, use /octave:generate.

Error Handling

No Conversation Data:

No conversation data available yet.

I'll generate enablement materials from your library. As your team logs calls and emails, these materials will get richer with real-world evidence.

No Competitors:

No competitors in your library for competitive enablement.

Options:

1. Add competitors: /octave:library create competitor
2. Skip competitive sections
3. I'll create a general competitive awareness template

Empty Library:

Your library needs more content for a comprehensive enablement kit.

Start with:

1. /octave:library create product - Add your product
2. /octave:library create persona - Add buyer personas Then run this skill again.
