My Head of Growth is running $200k/mo in ad spend from a terminal.

We replaced the manual drag of media buying—bid adjustments, creative monitoring, and audience uploads—with 12 custom Claude Code skills.

This isn't theory. We used these exact workflows at ColdIQ to double our client load this year without adding a single headcount to the media team. Instead of clicking through slow dashboards, Ivan just tells the terminal what he needs, and the skills execute across Google, Meta, and LinkedIn.

We spent 300+ hours building and refining this pack. Now, I’m giving them all away.

If you’re still manually pausing keywords or checking for creative fatigue every morning, you’re operating at a massive disadvantage.

Want the full pack of Claude Code skills? Drop 'CODE' in the comments and I’ll send them over.

I’m seeing a lot of teams waste hours manually 'summarizing' long-form content.

If you're still copy-pasting transcripts into a generic ChatGPT prompt, you're missing the true power of an automated AI workflow. You don't need a summary; you need a content distribution engine.

The most effective high-growth teams I talk to have moved beyond manual prompts. They use a standard 'Extraction Layer'—a workflow that automatically pulls high-signal insights from every call, webinar, or podcast and maps them directly to their CRM or Project Management tool.

Here is the exact blueprint for building a 'Research Agent' that works while you sleep.

Which step of your content workflow is still manual? Let's discuss in the comments.

Stop wasting your sales team's talent on prospecting. 🛠️

Most sales reps spend 60% of their day digging through LinkedIn and company websites instead of actually selling. I've seen it sink conversion rates.

The "Passive Inbound" era is over. You need an automated researcher that qualifies leads while you sleep. By hooking up a scrapers like Clay or Browse.ai to an LLM, you can score every lead against your ICP in seconds, not hours.

Here is how to build a 24/7 lead vetting agent without writing a single line of code.

What’s the biggest bottleneck in your current sales funnel? Let’s solve it in the comments.

I was at a Philz in SF last week and overheard a Tier-1 VC grilling a founder.

He didn't ask about their CAC/LTV or their "viral loop." He focused entirely on the internal architecture of the company. The takeaway was clear: Most $1M companies are held together by manual labor and duct tape. $100M companies are built on automated ecosystems.

The shift isn't about working harder; it's about shifting from "founder-led ex*****on" to "agent-led infrastructure." If your team is still manually summarizing meetings or triaging leads, you're building a lifestyle business, not a venture-scale one.

I took the three structural shifts he mentioned and turned them into specific Claude prompts you can run today.

Which of these three shifts is your current bottleneck?

X just did something most tech companies would never do.

They open sourced their recommendation algorithm on GitHub.

That means developers can now study how content ranking, scoring, filtering, and recommendations actually work behind one of the biggest social platforms in the world.

This is bigger than most people realize.

For years, social media algorithms have operated like black boxes.
You post.
You guess.
You hope it performs.

Now the curtain is opening.

Whether you’re a developer, AI engineer, marketer, researcher, or creator, this gives real insight into:
• Ranking systems
• Recommendation pipelines
• Content scoring
• Feed personalization
• Large-scale ML infrastructure

Transparency like this pushes the industry forward.

The future belongs to companies willing to build in public.
