Marketing Domain Overview

A five-phase RACE Framework marketing process with 37 skills for growth marketing.

The Marketing plugin follows the RACE framework (reach, act, convert, engage) with a strategy phase in front. Strategy settles audience and positioning before any campaign work starts. Each phase writes a numbered file to .singularskills/marketing/<topic>/. Four utility skills handle tracking, copy editing, campaign ideas and revenue operations.

The Five Phases

PhaseCommand PrefixPurpose
Strategy/marketing-customer-research, etc.Audience, competitors, positioning, pricing
Reach/marketing-content-strategy, etc.Build visibility through content, SEO, social, community
Act/marketing-copywriting, etc.Optimize touchpoints to generate leads and engagement
Convert/marketing-email-sequence, etc.Turn interest into revenue through campaigns and optimization
Engage/marketing-onboarding-cro, etc.Retain customers, reduce churn, drive referrals

The RACE Framework

The methodology follows the digital marketing lifecycle developed by Smart Insights:

Strategy (Phase 0): Define who you're marketing to, how you're positioned, and what success looks like — before any marketing activity.

Reach (Phase 1): Build awareness and attract the right audience through organic and paid channels.

Act (Phase 2): Encourage interaction — optimize pages, forms, and content to generate interest and leads.

Convert (Phase 3): Close the deal — run campaigns, nurture leads, and optimize conversion flows.

Engage (Phase 4): Retain and grow — reduce churn, drive referrals, and increase lifetime value.

Artifact Flow

Each phase reads from previous phases and writes to .singularskills/marketing/<topic>/:

.singularskills/marketing/product-launch/
  00-strategy.md      ← Strategy phase output
  01-reach.md         ← Reach phase output
  02-act.md           ← Act phase output
  03-convert.md       ← Convert phase output
  04-engage.md        ← Engage phase output

Utility Skills

Four utility skills work across all phases without prerequisites:

  • /marketing-analytics-tracking — Set up measurement and attribution
  • /marketing-copy-editing — Edit and refine existing marketing copy
  • /marketing-marketing-ideas — Generate creative campaign ideas
  • /marketing-revops — Revenue operations and pipeline design

Quality Gates

The skills enforce phase ordering:

  • Gates: each later phase's skill runs its scripts/gate.sh first and stops if a required earlier artifact (such as the Strategy artifact) is missing
  • You can bypass with --skip-checks when needed (logged as a skipped event in .singularskills/log.jsonl)
  • Utility skills have no prerequisites
