Claim
Fifteen years of GTM and pricing expertise can be packaged as Claude Skills, not prompts. Skills are versioned, portable, and composable; prompts are not. The strategic implication for any team building a knowledge substrate: ship Skills with decision ledgers, not prompt libraries.
Mechanism
Prompts are ephemeral text; Skills are addressable artifacts with metadata, versioning, and composition. That makes them distributable, auditable, and improvable — the properties operator expertise needs to scale beyond the original author.
Conditions
Holds when: the host platform (Claude or similar) supports Skills as first-class objects.
Fails when: the workflow is one-shot enough that the Skill overhead exceeds the prompt's lifetime.
Evidence
"I turned 15 years of GTM expertise into Claude skills you can use."

Signals
- Internal expertise published as Skills with named owners, not as Notion prompt libraries.
- Skills carry version numbers and changelogs.
- Decision ledgers (Brier-scored or similar) attached to each Skill's outputs.
Counter-evidence
For rapidly evolving tactical knowledge that changes weekly, a Skill's versioning overhead may be too heavy — a living doc still wins.
