pipeline-review
Skill13 starsChanged 24 days agoMITView on GitHub
Use this skill when a manager or founder needs to review the sales pipeline and forecast: \"review my pipeline\", \"prep for the forecast call\", \"which deals are at risk\", \"is our quarter going to land\". Checks pipeline coverage, stage health, deal aging, slipped close dates, missing next steps and single-threaded deals, scores every deal's risk with evidence, and produces a forecast (commit, best case, upside) with the actions that change the outcome this week.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
7 rules. 0 are common, 7 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 13 edited versions we read keep these.
7
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

NEVER change records in the CRM without approval.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 13 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Use this weekly or before a forecast call. It turns a pipeline export into an honest forecast and a short list of actions that move the number.
Inputs
- Pipeline export: deal, owner, stage, amount, close date, created date, last activity, next step, contacts.
- Quota or target for the period and what has closed so far.
- Historical stage conversion rates if available.
The play
1. Check coverage
Open pipeline due this period ÷ remaining target. Healthy coverage depends on win rate; at a 25% win rate, 3-4x is typical. Read references/pipeline-health.md for the health checks, thresholds and the risk scoring table.
2. Run the health checks
- Aging: deals in a stage longer than 1.5x the average for that stage.
- Slips: close date moved 2+ times.
- No next step: no future activity scheduled.
- Stale: no activity in 14+ days.
- Single-threaded: one contact engaged.
- Close date in the past.
- Stage mismatch: proposal stage without an economic buyer met.
3. Score deal risk
Each failing check adds risk points. High-risk deals in commit move to best case or out, with the reason.
4. Build the forecast
| Category | Rule |
| Commit | Low risk, verbal yes or clear paper process, close date backed by a plan |
| Best case | Medium risk, strong engagement, one open gap |
| Upside | Early or high risk |
| Remove | Dead, past due with no response, or no next step for 30 days |
Weighted forecast = commit + (best case × historical conversion).
5. Choose the actions
Three to five actions that change the quarter: a deal that needs an executive call, a stalled proposal, a missing champion, pipeline generation if coverage is short.
Output format
Target: X | Closed: X | Gap: X | Coverage: Nx (healthy / thin)
Forecast: Commit X | Best case X | Upside X | Weighted X
Risks: <deal - risk score - failing checks - recommendation>
Actions this week: <action - owner - expected impact>
Pipeline hygiene: N deals with past close dates, N without next stepsWhat good looks like
- Every deal moved out of commit has a stated reason.
- The forecast says what would need to be true for best case to land.
- Actions are specific, owned and dated.
- The common mistake is reviewing deals by amount only; a small deal with a signed order form matters more for the forecast than a big deal with no economic buyer.
Rules
- MUST base risk on evidence (activity, dates, contacts), not on rep confidence.
- MUST flag past-due close dates and missing next steps.
- NEVER change records in the CRM without approval; propose updates instead.
Example prompts
- "Here's our pipeline export. Prep me for Monday's forecast call."
- "Which of my 30 open deals are most at risk this quarter?"
- "We need $400k more this quarter. Is the pipeline enough, and what should we do?"
Does it work?

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
