## What This Skill Does

Builds the complete launch system for an AI automation agency in 4 prompts — from positioning and niche selection through client acquisition, service packaging, and delivery playbooks.

AI automation is the fastest-growing service category of 2025-2026. Businesses are spending $5K-$50K to automate workflows they can't build themselves. This skill gives freelancers and consultants the complete agency infrastructure to capture that market in under a week.

### Prompt 1 — Agency Positioning & Niche Selector (FREE)
Input: your background, current skills, target industry, desired income
Output:
- Top 3 niche recommendations with demand score, competition score, and average project value
- Agency positioning statement (one-sentence, two-sentence, and elevator pitch versions)
- 3 core service descriptions (plain English, no jargon)
- Differentiation hook: why YOUR agency vs. a generalist
- 30-second cold intro script for phone/video

### Prompt 2 — Service Packaging & Pricing Guide
Input: chosen niche, skill level, target client size, local vs. remote
Output:

- Pricing psychology guide: anchoring, value framing, ROI projection formula
- Rate justification script for "that's too expensive" objections
- Upsell path: retainer model framing and monthly maintenance pricing

- Outreach tracking system: CRM-free pipeline tracker (Notion table structure + status definitions)

### Prompt 4 — Delivery & Fulfillment Playbook
Input: service type, primary tools used, client name and industry
Output:
- Client onboarding sequence: welcome email, questionnaire (15 questions), kickoff call agenda, shared folder structure
- Project documentation template: scope document, change order form, progress update format
- 3-phase delivery framework: Discovery → Build → Launch, each with owner, deliverables, and sign-off gate
- Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) pack: 5 reusable SOPs for common AI automation tasks (Zapier/Make workflow, data pipeline, chatbot deployment, report automation, email automation)
- Results reporting template: before/after metrics, ROI calculation, testimonial request email

## Competitive Analysis

No existing ClawHub skill targeting AI automation agency launch/build. Adjacent: freelance/consulting skills are generic (no AI focus). AI-specific skills focus on using tools, not building an agency. Clear gap.
