## Composition Framework Deep Dive

### How Skills Compose

The Skills Directory uses four primary mechanisms for skill composition:

#### 1. Exit States as Handoffs

Skills declare named exit states that trigger specific downstream skills. This creates semantic workflow routing rather than just sequential execution.

**Example**: `customer_success/health_scoring`

```json
{
  "id": "cs_health_scoring",
  "exitStates": [
    "churn_prediction", // → Triggers churn prediction skill
    "expansion_playbook", // → Triggers expansion opportunity skill
    "renewal_orchestration", // → Triggers renewal workflow
    "idle" // → No action needed
  ]
}
```

**Workflow**:

```
health_scoring → {
  if health_score < 60: exit(churn_prediction)
  if health_score > 80 AND expansion_signals: exit(expansion_playbook)
  if renewal_date < 60 days: exit(renewal_orchestration)
  else: exit(idle)
}
```

#### 2. Orchestration Pattern

Meta-skills evaluate context and dispatch to appropriate skills based on business logic. They handle conditional routing, parallel execution, and context management.

**Example**: `meta/gtm_orchestrator`

```json
{
  "id": "meta_gtm_orchestrator",
  "orchestrates": [
    "plg/self_serve_expansion",
    "plg/reverse_trial",
    "revops/lead_routing",
    "revops/opportunity_scoring",
    "ecosystem/partner_influenced_revenue",
    "ecosystem/nearbound_signal"
  ],
  "exitStates": [
    "plg_activation",
    "sales_assist",
    "lead_qualification",
    "co_sell_trigger",
    "partner_sourced",
    "idle"
  ]
}
```

**Orchestration Logic**:

```
1. Evaluate account context:
   - Product usage signals → PLG motion
   - Enterprise indicators → Sales-led motion
   - Partner overlap → Partner-sourced motion

2. Route to appropriate motion:
   if self_serve_capable:
     trigger plg/self_serve_expansion
   elif sales_qualified:
     trigger revops/lead_routing → sales_assist
   elif partner_overlap:
     trigger ecosystem/co_sell_trigger

3. Handle parallel actions:
   - Always run analytics tracking
   - Optionally trigger nurture campaigns
```

#### 3. Tool Standardization

40+ tool categories are reused across 300+ skills, enabling plug-and-play skill composition. Common tools create natural data flow between skills.

**Most Common Tools** (showing composition pattern):

| Tool Category           | Uses | Enables Composition      |
| ----------------------- | ---- | ------------------------ |
| `lifecycle.get_segment` | 109  | Customer context sharing |
| `analytics.track_event` | 74   | Behavior tracking        |
| `analytics.get_metrics` | 71   | Performance data         |
| `messaging.send_in_app` | 59   | User communication       |
| `crm.get_account`       | 40   | Account data retrieval   |
| `crm.update_account`    | 38   | Account data writes      |
| `ai.generate`           | 33   | Content creation         |
| `ai.classify`           | 28   | Classification tasks     |
| `stripe.*`              | 75+  | Billing operations       |

**Example Composition**:

```
Skill 1: health_scoring
  uses: lifecycle.get_segment → outputs: { health_score, segment_id }

Skill 2: churn_prediction
  uses: lifecycle.get_segment (same segment_id)
  uses: analytics.get_metrics (behavior data)
  outputs: { churn_risk, recommended_actions }

Skill 3: retention_playbook
  uses: messaging.send_in_app (send actions to user)
  uses: crm.update_account (record intervention)
```

The shared `segment_id` from Skill 1 flows into Skill 2, and the `recommended_actions` from Skill 2 flow into Skill 3's messaging.

#### 4. Workflow Blueprints

Pre-built multi-skill chains with conditional logic, error handling, and parallel execution. Think of these as "agent templates."

**Example Blueprint**: `customer_churn_prevention.yaml` (conceptual)

```yaml
workflow_id: customer_churn_prevention
version: 1.0.0
description: Multi-stage churn prevention workflow

steps:
  - id: step_1
    skill: customer_success/health_scoring
    input: { accountId: '{{context.accountId}}' }
    timeout: 300s
    retry:
      max_attempts: 3
      backoff: exponential
    exit_routing:
      at_risk: step_2
      healthy: step_4
      error: handle_error

  - id: step_2
    skill: customer_success/churn_prediction
    input:
      healthScore: '{{step_1.output.health_score}}'
      accountMetrics: '{{step_1.output.metrics}}'
    timeout: 300s
    exit_routing:
      high_churn_risk: step_3

      low_churn_risk: idle

  - id: step_3
    skill: customer_success/retention_playbook
    input:
      churnRisk: '{{step_2.output.churn_risk}}'
      accountContext: '{{step_1.output}}'
    timeout: 300s
    outputs:
      - recommendedActions
      - stakeholdersToPing
    exit_routing:
      playbook_executed: step_4
      escalation_needed: handle_escalation

  - id: step_4
    skill: customer_success/nps_followup
    input:
      accountId: '{{context.accountId}}'
      sentiment: '{{step_2.output.sentiment}}'
    timeout: 300s
    conditional: 'sentiment < 7'
    exit_routing:
      followup_sent: complete
      skip: complete

error_handling:
  - id: handle_error
    action: rollback
    notify: ops_team

  - id: handle_escalation
    action: alert
    notify: csm_manager
```

## Security & Governance

Every skill includes security controls appropriate to its risk level:

### Risk Levels

| Level        | Examples                          | Controls                           |
| ------------ | --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **Low**      | Copywriting, content generation   | Basic sandboxing                   |
| **Medium**   | Analytics queries, read-only CRM  | Rate limiting, audit logging       |
| **High**     | CRM writes, messaging             | Preview mode, approval gates       |
| **Critical** | Payment operations, data deletion | Two-phase commit, rollback windows |

### Security Controls Example

From `customer_success/health_scoring`:

```json
{
  "security_controls": {
    "payment_controls": {
      "preview_mode": true,
      "per_transaction_approval": true,
      "amount_limits": {
        "max_per_transaction": 50000,
        "daily_limit": 200000,

      },
      "rollback": {
        "enabled": true,
        "window_seconds": 3600
      },
      "two_phase_commit": true,
      "audit_logging": "detailed"
    }
  }
}
```

### Execution Environment

From `revops/lead_qualification`:

```json
{
  "security_controls": {
    "execution_environment": {
      "type": "sandboxed_container",
      "resource_limits": {
        "cpu_cores": 1,
        "memory_mb": 512,
        "timeout_seconds": 30,
        "disk_mb": 100
      },
      "security": {
        "network_access": false,
        "filesystem": "read_only",

  ↓
deal_inspection → { health: 85, redFlags: [] }
  ↓
next_best_action → { actions: ["Schedule executive briefing", "Send ROI calculator"] }
  ↓
sales_content_recommender → { content: ["executive_briefing_deck.pdf", "roi_template.xlsx"] }
  ↓
notify_rep (Slack message with guidance)
```

**Tools Used**:

- `crm.get_lead` - Retrieve lead details
- `crm.get_opportunity` - Retrieve deal/opportunity data
- `crm.get_pipeline` - Fetch pipeline context
- `analytics.get_engagement_metrics` - Product usage, website behavior
- `ai.score_lead` - AI-powered lead scoring
- `ai.classify` - Categorize objections, deal stage
- `messaging.send_email` - Automated email sequences (optional)
- `messaging.send_alert` - Notify sales rep (Slack/email)

**Security Controls**:

- **Risk Level**: High (CRM write access)
- **Approval Required**: Email sending to prospects, deal stage changes
- **Rollback Window**: 30 minutes for CRM updates
- **Audit Logging**: All actions logged with timestamp and context
- **Sandboxing**: Execution in isolated container with resource limits

**Performance**:

- **Total Execution Time**: 30-60 seconds (sequential execution)
- **Optimization**: Steps 1-2 can run in parallel if account data pre-fetched
- **Caching**: Lead/opportunity data cached for 5 minutes

**Metrics**:

- **Lead-to-Opportunity Rate**: Target > 25% (excellent)
- **Opportunity Win Rate**: Target > 30% (excellent)
- **Deal Velocity**: Average time from qualified lead to close
- **Sales Rep Efficiency**: Time saved per deal (target: 2-3 hours)

**Orchestration Flow**:

```
1. Diagnostic Phase (parallel):
   - Fetch funnel metrics
   - Identify conversion drops
   - Benchmark against targets
   - Run friction detection

2. Routing Phase:
   - Activation issues → onboarding skills
   - Engagement issues → habit/feature skills
   - Conversion issues → CRO/pricing skills
   - Retention issues → churn prevention skills

3. Execution Phase (sequential by priority):
   - Deploy highest-impact optimization first
   - Wait for statistical significance
   - Move to next optimization

4. Monitoring Phase:
   - Track experiment results
   - Calculate incremental lift
   - Update playbooks with learnings
```

**Performance**:

- **Analysis Time**: 2-5 minutes for full funnel
- **Optimization Deployment**: 5-10 minutes per skill
- **Experiment Duration**: 7-14 days for statistical significance
- **Batch Processing**: Can analyze 100+ funnels overnight

**Metrics**:

- **Diagnostic Accuracy**: Target > 85% (correctly identifies blockers)
- **Optimization Success Rate**: Target > 60% (experiments show lift)
- **Average Lift**: Target > 15% per optimization
- **Time to Impact**: Target < 30 days from diagnosis to measurable lift

## Key Findings

### 1. Strong Composability Framework

The Skills Directory demonstrates **production-ready composability** with four key mechanisms:

**Exit States**: Semantic workflow routing enables skills to automatically hand off to appropriate next steps based on business logic.

**Example**:

```json
health_scoring → {
  "churn_prediction" (if health < 60),
  "expansion_playbook" (if health > 80),
  "idle" (if healthy)
}
```

**Tool Standardization**: 40+ tool categories used across 300+ skills create natural data flow and interoperability.

**Orchestrators**: 6 meta-skills demonstrate multi-domain agent composition (GTM Orchestrator coordinates PLG + Sales + Partner motions).

**Security Built-in**: Every skill includes appropriate security controls (preview mode, rollback, approval gates).

### 2. B2B SaaS Dominance

**Coverage is exceptional for B2B SaaS companies**:

- **Full GTM Stack**: 156 skills cover acquisition → activation → conversion → retention → expansion
- **Financial Operations**: 33 skills for burn rate, ARR/MRR, pricing, billing
- **Customer Success**: 29 skills for health scoring, churn prevention, expansion

**Why B2B SaaS?**: The Skills Directory was built by operators solving real PLG, RevOps, and growth problems. This domain knowledge is baked into the architecture.

### 3. Regulated Industries Are Gaps

**Healthcare, Education have zero skills** because they require:

- Domain-specific compliance (HIPAA, FERPA)
- Regulatory expertise (FDA approval, accreditation)
- Specialized integrations (EMR, LMS)
- Physical world connections (medical devices, classroom IoT)

These barriers prevent simple skill composition.

### 4. Physical World Integration Missing

**Logistics, Real Estate, Construction have zero skills** because they require:

- IoT sensors and telemetry
- Geospatial data processing
- Physical infrastructure (warehouses, properties, construction sites)
- Real-time operational data (fleet GPS, inventory sensors)

The Skills Directory is optimized for **digital-first workflows**, not physical operations.

### 5. Composition Scales Exponentially

**Mathematical Power**:

- 773 atomic skills
- Average 3 exit states per skill
- Average 2-5 skills per workflow

**Combinations**: 773 × 3 × 3 × 3 = **~26,000 possible 3-skill workflows**

**With orchestrators**: Add conditional routing and parallel execution → **millions of possible agent behaviors**

The framework supports both:

- **Predefined blueprints** (common patterns like churn prevention)
- **Dynamic composition** (LLM-powered routing based on context)

### 6. Security Model Enables Production Use

Unlike generic AI agent frameworks, the Skills Directory has:

- **Risk levels** per skill (Low/Medium/High/Critical)
- **Preview mode** for dangerous operations
- **Rollback windows** (30-60 minutes for CRM/financial changes)
- **Approval gates** for high-risk actions
- **Sandboxed execution** (isolated containers with resource limits)
- **Audit trails** for compliance

This makes it **production-ready** for enterprise use cases.

## Recommendations

### For Covered Categories (Sales, Marketing, Finance, PLG, E-commerce)

**✅ Build Agents Immediately**

These categories have comprehensive skill coverage and proven orchestration patterns:

1. **Start with Pre-built Workflows**:
   - Use existing orchestrators (GTM Orchestrator, Revenue Intelligence)
   - Leverage workflow blueprints for common patterns
   - Example: Deploy churn prevention agent in < 1 week

2. **Use Sequential Chains for Simple Agents**:
   - Link 3-5 skills via exit states
   - Example: lead_qualification → opportunity_scoring → next_best_action

3. **Use Orchestrators for Complex Agents**:
   - Meta-skills handle conditional routing and context
   - Example: Full-funnel growth agent (acquisition → retention)

4. **Leverage Tool Standardization**:
   - Skills naturally share data via common tools
   - No custom integration code needed

### For Partial Coverage (HR, Creative)

**⚠️ Fill Critical Gaps, Then Build**

These categories need 5-10 additional skills before full agent coverage:

**HR & Talent Gaps**:

- `recruiting_automation` - Interview scheduling, ATS integration
- `technical_assessment` - Code challenges, technical screens
- `offer_generation` - Automated offer letters with e-signature
- `onboarding_workflow` - Beyond checklists (account provisioning, training)
- `performance_cycle` - Automate review cycles, 360 feedback

**Creative & Design Gaps**:

- `image_generation` - AI image creation (DALL-E, Midjourney)
- `design_tool_integration` - Figma, Adobe API connections
- `video_editing` - Automated video production
- `asset_library_manager` - DAM (Digital Asset Management)
- `collaboration_workflow` - Review/approval workflows

**Interim Solution**:

- Use existing skills where possible (copywriting, voice guardian)
- Integrate with external tools for gaps (Zapier, Make.com)
- Build missing skills using the Skills Directory framework

### For Gap Categories (Healthcare, Education, Real Estate, Logistics)

**❌ Requires New Domain-Specific Skills**

These categories need ground-up development:

**Priority 1: Regulatory & Compliance Skills**

- Healthcare: HIPAA compliance, audit trails, patient consent
- Education: FERPA compliance, grade confidentiality
- Real Estate: MLS access, license verification

**Priority 2: Domain-Specific Tools**

- Healthcare: EHR/EMR integrations (Epic, Cerner, HL7/FHIR)
- Education: LMS integrations (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle)
- Real Estate: MLS APIs, property databases (Zillow, Redfin)
- Logistics: Warehouse management, TMS, fleet tracking

**Priority 3: Physical World Integrations**

- IoT sensor data (GPS, telemetry, RFID)
- Computer vision (site inspections, progress tracking)
- Geospatial processing (routing, territory optimization)

**Estimated Effort**:

- Each new domain: 20-30 foundational skills
- Each skill: 40-80 hours development + testing
- Total per domain: 800-2400 hours (4-12 developer-months)
- Plus: Regulatory review, compliance certification

**Recommendation**: Partner with domain experts or acquire existing solutions rather than building from scratch.
