Broadens both reach (more tools) and content types (an MCP server), continuing the multi-platform story. Windsurf + Aider: - build-exports.mjs gains two platforms: exports/windsurf/*.md (workspace rules, trigger: model_decision) and exports/aider/*.md (conventions for `aider --read`). Now 5 platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider). - install.sh + bin/cli.mjs install both (windsurf -> .windsurf/rules, aider -> .aider/skills with a --read hint); generated README index is excluded from copies. - One-line windsurf-install.sh / aider-install.sh wrappers for parity. MCP server (new content type): - mcp/server.mjs — zero-dependency stdio MCP server exposing list_skills, search_skills, get_skill. Published as a second bin (pm-claude-skills-mcp). Logs to stderr; reads bundled skills/ at startup. mcp/README.md documents client config. Also: README hero "See it in action" demo placement (ready to swap in a GIF; recording guide in web/docs-assets/README.md), Works-With table + exports + install docs updated, CHANGELOG Unreleased. package.json files/bin updated.

Sales Battlecard Skill
Produces a practical one-page competitive battlecard that sales reps can use in calls — not a theoretical analysis.
Required Inputs
- Your product/company
- Competitor name
- Your target customer (ICP)
- Your top 3 differentiators vs this competitor
- Common objections when competing against them
- Known competitor weaknesses
Output Structure
Battlecard: [Your Product] vs [Competitor]
Updated: [Date] — Review quarterly
In One Sentence
When a prospect mentions [Competitor], say: "[Your positioning in one sentence]"
Why Customers Choose [Competitor]
(Be honest about their genuine strengths)
- [Strength 1]
- [Strength 2]
Why Customers Choose Us
(Specific differentiators with proof points)
- [Differentiator 1]: [Proof point — customer outcome or capability]
- [Differentiator 2]: [Proof point]
Objection Responses
"[Competitor] is cheaper" "You are right their list price is lower. What our customers find is [specific TCO difference]. [Customer] saw [result]. Should we explore total cost of ownership?"
"We already use [Competitor]" "That is helpful. What is working well? [Listen] And what is one thing you wish was better?"
"[Competitor] has [feature] you do not" "You are right. What problem are you solving with that feature? [Listen] Here is how our customers solve that..."
Landmines to Plant
- "How do you currently handle [area where competitor is weak]?"
- "What happens when you need to [scenario competitor struggles with]?"
Traps to Avoid
- Never badmouth [Competitor] directly
- Do not lead with features — lead with the prospect problem
- Do not claim you do everything better — be specific about where you win
When We Win / When We Lose
We win when: [Scenario — e.g. customer prioritises outcome over price] We lose when: [Honest scenario — e.g. primary driver is lowest upfront cost]
Quality Checks
- Competitor strengths are listed honestly (not minimised)
- Differentiators have proof points (not just claims)
- Objection responses are conversational (not scripted-sounding)
- Landmine questions are natural and non-confrontational
- "When we lose" is included and honest
- Battlecard has a review date
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Build a battlecard against [competitor]"
- "Create a competitive cheat sheet for [competitor]"
- "Write objection handling for [competitor] comparisons"
Anti-Patterns
- Do not minimise or ignore genuine competitor strengths — sales reps who encounter them unprepared lose credibility
- Do not write differentiators without proof points — a claim without evidence is marketing, not a battlecard
- Do not make the battlecard exhaustive — it is a one-page cheat sheet, not a full competitive analysis
- Do not include a "When we lose" section that is dishonestly optimistic — honest loss scenarios build rep trust
- Do not skip the review date — an outdated battlecard with wrong information is worse than no battlecard
