BlackBelt Training Intake

A meta-skill that processes BlackBelt training materials and helps create training-specific skills.

What This Does

Takes a training's transcript and workbook PDF, analyzes what could be built from them, and generates a skill tailored to that training's IP.

When to Use

• "Process the [training-name] training"
• "Intake the [name] training"
• "Ingest [name] training"
• "Create a skill from [training]"
• "Build a skill for [training]"

Input Location

Training materials go in:

Copy~/Downloads/training-intake/[training-name]/
├── transcript.txt (or .md)
└── workbook.pdf

If the user mentions a training name, look for a matching folder.

The Process

Step 1: Locate and Read Materials

Copyls ~/Downloads/training-intake/

Find the training folder. Read:

1. The transcript file (.txt or .md)
2. The PDF workbook

If materials are missing, tell Ed what's needed.

Step 2: Analyze the Training

While reading, identify:

Frameworks and Models:

• Named frameworks (e.g., "The Context Fulcrum", "The Offer Diamond")
• Step-by-step processes
• Rubrics or checklists
• Mental models with memorable names

Content Type Signals:

• Clear evaluation criteria → Framework Evaluator skill
• "How to" steps with exercises → Implementation Guide
• Conceptual explanations → Q&A Coach
• Scoring/assessment → Specialized Tool
• Templates to fill → Workbook Companion

Key Elements:

• Core terminology unique to this training
• Examples and case studies used
• Common questions or objections addressed
• Exercises coaches complete

Step 3: Present Skill Options

Use AskUserQuestion to present findings:

CopyBased on [Training Name], here's what we could build:

**Primary Recommendation: [Type] Skill**
[Why this fits best - 1-2 sentences]

Example use: "[Trigger phrase]" → [What it produces]

---

**Alternative Options:**
1. [Type]: [What it would do]
2. [Type]: [What it would do]

Present 2-4 options maximum. Include a clear primary recommendation.

Step 4: Build the Selected Skill

Once Ed chooses, generate the skill using the appropriate template from resources/templates/.

Naming convention: Use training name in kebab-case, prefixed appropriately:

• [training]-review for evaluators
• [training]-coach for Q&A coaches
• [training]-guide for implementation guides

Git workflow:

Copycd ~/Documents/GitHub/powerhouse-lab
git checkout main && git pull
git checkout -b skill/[new-skill-name]

Create skill structure:

Copymkdir -p skills/[name]/{scripts,references,resources,assets,docs/plans/archive}

Generate files:

1. SKILL.md - Core instructions from template + training content
2. resources/ - Copy transcript and workbook PDF
3. docs/README.md - Technical reference
4. docs/GUIDE.md - Business explanation
5. docs/ROADMAP.md - Include "Future Possibilities" from analysis

Step 5: Wire Up the Skill

Copy./scripts/setup-skills.sh

Add "Skill([name])" to .claude/settings.local.json permissions.

Tell Ed: "Skill created. Start a new terminal session to use it."

Step 6: Log Unexplored Options

In the new skill's docs/ROADMAP.md, add a "Future Possibilities" section listing the alternative skill types identified but not built.

---

Skill Type Templates

Templates are in resources/templates/. Each provides the structure for that skill type.

Generated Skill Requirements

Every generated skill must include:

In SKILL.md:

• Clear trigger phrases
• Reference to original training materials in resources/
• Ed Dale voice guidelines
• Output format specification
• ai-slop-detector integration

In resources/:

• Original transcript
• Original workbook PDF
• Extracted framework summary (if applicable)

In docs/:

• README.md with technical reference
• GUIDE.md with business explanation
• ROADMAP.md with shipped version + future possibilities

---

Ed Dale Voice (Apply to All Generated Skills)

Generated skills should produce output that sounds like Ed:

• Short, clear sentences
• Compassionate amusement
• Calm confidence
• Practical and grounded
• No lecturing, no em dashes
• Celebrate what works, suggest improvements gently

Example Workflow

Input: "Process the Triangle training"

Step 1: Find ~/Downloads/training-intake/triangle/

• Read transcript.txt
• Read Triangle-Workbook.pdf

Step 2: Analysis reveals:

• Named framework: "The Triangle"
• 3 evaluation points with clear criteria
• Coaches submit screenshots for feedback
• Strong rubric structure

Step 3: Present:

CopyPrimary Recommendation: Framework Evaluator Skill

The Triangle training has a clear 3-point rubric that coaches fill in
and submit for feedback. A reviewer skill would evaluate their work
and produce coaching comments.

Example: "Review this Triangle" → Facebook-ready feedback comment

Alternative:
- Q&A Coach: Answer questions about Triangle concepts
- Implementation Guide: Walk through filling in their Triangle

Step 4: Ed selects "Framework Evaluator"

• Create skills/triangle-review/
• Generate SKILL.md using evaluator template
• Copy materials to resources/
• Create docs/

Step 5: Wire up and register

Step 6: Log alternatives in ROADMAP.md
