## Orchestrator Decision Tree

Use this to know when to move to the next skill:

```
Is my current skill working?

YES:
  ├─ Am I seeing results?
  │  ├─ YES → Continue 2-4 more weeks, then move to next
  │  └─ NO → Adjust and try again 1-2 more weeks
  │
  └─ Do I have time for another skill?
     ├─ YES → Add next skill while continuing current
     └─ NO → Master current first, then move to next

NO:
  ├─ Is it a skill issue or execution issue?
  │  ├─ SKILL → Review framework, adjust approach
  │  └─ EXECUTION → Get help, refine execution
  │
  └─ Should I move to a different skill?
     ├─ YES → Switch to higher-impact skill
     └─ NO → Spend more time mastering this skill
```

## How to Use This Skill

1. **Assess Your Situation** — Answer the diagnostic questions
2. **Choose Your Challenge** — Which challenge matches yours?
3. **Follow the Sequence** — Implement skills in order
4. **Weekly Reviews** — Track progress and adjust
5. **Monthly Reviews** — Step back and assess system

### Automatic Skill Invocation

After diagnosing the user's situation and recommending a sequence, **ask the user if they want you to automatically invoke the recommended skills**. For example:

```
"Based on your situation, I recommend this sequence:
1. brand-voice
2. positioning-angles
3. keyword-research
...

Would you like me to run these skills now? I'll invoke each one to help you implement the methodology."
```

If the user agrees, **invoke each skill using the /skill-name command** (e.g., `/brand-voice`, `/lead-magnet`). Work through them in the recommended order.

## Integration with Other Skills

Orchestrator coordinates all 9 other skills:
- **Brand Voice** — Foundation

- **Lead Magnet** — Entry point
- **Direct Response Copy** — Conversion mechanism
- **SEO Content** — Traffic driver
- **Newsletter** — Audience builder
- **Email Sequences** — Relationship builder

## Common Pitfalls

**Trying All Skills at Once** — Dilutes focus. Pick 2-3 first.  
**Wrong Sequence** — Using skills out of order wastes time.  
**Skipping Foundation** — Brand Voice and Positioning are foundation.  
**Not Measuring** — Can't improve what you don't measure.  
**Giving Up Early** — Most skills take 4-8 weeks to show results.
