Sales Advisory Board

2 mins

Eight of the greatest sales minds sit on your decision, argue it out and hand down one verdict. Every quote is real and links to the second they said it.

QUICK START

Claude Cowork already set up?

›Copy the prompt, paste it into any Cowork chat — Claude fetches the skill, and one click on Save skill installs it. Works in Claude Code too: paste it there and it installs itself, no button needed.
›Always the latest version, straight from the public GitHub repo — and it tells you when a new one is out.

First time here?

The full setup guide is right below. It only takes a few minutes.

Before you start

If you don't have the Claude desktop app, you'll need it first, so download it here.

Download for Mac Download for Windows

(You'll also need Claude Pro, around $20.)

Part 1 · Claude Cowork setup(5 mins)

Install Cowork

Download the Claude desktop app and sign in on a paid plan. It has to be the desktop app, not the browser, because that is the version that can read your files and connect to your tools.

Open Cowork and give it a folder

Cowork is where Claude actually does work on your computer, not just chat. Get in and point it at one folder:

Open the desktop app and switch to Cowork, the middle of the three modes at the top.
Click New Task, then Work in a Project, then Choose a folder.
Make a fresh, empty folder (I call mine Claude Playground).

Claude only ever sees that one folder, nothing else on your computer, and it uses it to save your sittings and your data. So it stays private and tidy.

Part 2 · Sales Advisory Board setup(2 mins)

Install the skill

A skill is a saved set of instructions Claude follows every time. Copy this whole box, paste it into a Cowork chat, and Claude fetches the latest version and installs it for you:

This prompt installs Sales Advisory Board, a free sales skill from bingley.ai (published openly on GitHub as bingley-ai/bingley-skills — you can read every file there first). Claude: follow these steps. If any step fails, stop and tell me plainly what failed and what to do next — never improvise a different install method, never create skill content from your own knowledge, and never use a save_skill tool. 0. Check you can do this here: you need shell access, and ideally the present_files tool. Shell but NO present_files means this is Claude Code (the terminal or the Code tab): that is fine, this skill runs there too — install it by copying the folder from step 3 to ~/.claude/skills/sales-advisory-board/ (keep the folder layout, SKILL.md at its top), skip steps 5 to 7, and close with: "Installed to ~/.claude/skills/sales-advisory-board. It's live from your next message — just describe what you want, or type /sales-advisory-board." If you have NEITHER shell nor present_files (this is claude.ai in a browser, or a phone), stop and tell me — in your own words, covering all of this: this install needs the Claude desktop app on a computer; on the computer, go to bingley.ai and press the copy button there (no need to transfer this text); the desktop app is a free download at claude.com/download; in the app, click Cowork at the top, paste, send. If I'm not near a computer, suggest I email myself the bingley.ai link. If shell commands fail with "workspace unavailable", that is different: tell me to restart the Claude app (update it if offered) and paste this prompt again in a new session. 1. Check this session's list of available skills. If sales-advisory-board is installed as a PLUGIN from the bingley-skills marketplace, stop and tell me: "You already have Sales Advisory Board via the plugin, and plugin skills update themselves — nothing to install." If you are not sure whether it's a plugin or a saved skill, continue — updating a saved copy is safe. 2. Download https://github.com/bingley-ai/bingley-skills/archive/refs/heads/main.zip with curl -fL and a 60-second timeout. If the URL arrived mangled (trailing full stop or bracket, smart quotes, a line break), fix it to exactly the form above before retrying once. If it fails with 403 or a timeout, my network is blocking the download: tell me to open that link in my own browser and drag the downloaded zip into this chat, and continue from step 3 with that file. 3. From the zip, extract the folder plugins/sales-advisory-board/skills/sales-advisory-board. Verify SKILL.md and scripts/build_room.py are both present (the folder normally has 41 files, counted recursively). If the check fails, delete everything and repeat step 2 once into a fresh folder. If it fails again, stop and tell me: "The files on GitHub don't match what this prompt expects — this install prompt may be out of date. Get the current one at bingley.ai." Never package a folder that failed this check. 4. If I already have a saved (non-plugin) copy of this skill with extra local files in it (such as LOCAL.md), copy those extra files into the new folder now and tell me you preserved them. 5. Zip that folder's CONTENTS into sales-advisory-board.skill with SKILL.md at the top level of the archive, not inside any subfolder. Verify the archive listing shows SKILL.md at the root. 6. Write the file into your outputs folder using your file tools (your shell's temp directory is not visible to me), then present it to me with present_files. (Claude Code users never reach this step — see step 0.) 7. Close with this, in the language I've been writing to you in (keep the button names in English, that is what the buttons say): "Click the Save skill button on the file above (it says Update skill if you already had it). That is the whole install. Afterwards you'll find it under + > Skills in any chat." Add the preservation note from step 4 if it applies. Claude may ask you to approve a step along the way — that's you staying in control; approve what you're comfortable with. Nothing installs until you click Save skill.

Press Copy, then in the Claude desktop app open Cowork, start a New Task, paste, and send. (Computer, not phone. Claude Code works too: paste the same prompt there.)
Claude fetches the skill and shows you a file with a Save skill button — click it. That's the whole install.
Check it worked: click + at the bottom of the chat, then Skills. You should see it listed.

Nothing installs until you click that button, and everything the prompt fetches is public code you can read at github.com/bingley-ai/bingley-skills.

Already installed it before? The same paste updates it and keeps any customisations you've made. Prompt didn't work? Download the skill and drag the file into a Cowork chat, then click Save skill.

Run it

Open a New Task in your project folder.
Click + > Skills > sales-advisory-board, or just say take this to the sales board.
Tap one of the example problems it offers, or type your own in a sentence or two.

What you get: a boardroom opens in Live Artifacts. All eight advisers speak, they argue where they genuinely disagree, they vote, and a chair hands down the call plus the two things to do now. Every quote links straight to the moment on video, so you can watch it yourself.

Before you finish (quick checks)

›Claude desktop app installed on a paid plan, Cowork open with one folder selected.
›Skill visible under + > Skills.
›Gave it a real decision, not a topic. "Should I discount to close this?" not "how do I get better at closing?"
›Output is a boardroom in Live Artifacts, with a verdict and clickable quotes.

How was this skill built?

Every skill ships only after planning, research, building, testing and re-testing. Here is the record for the sales advisory board.

9 stress-test rounds 21 improvements shipped 157 automated checks

PlanningPicked eight advisers with one seat each and no overlap, then fixed the shape of a sitting: every adviser speaks, they argue, they vote, a chair commits to one call.

Research & background checksBuilt a curated corpus of each adviser in their own words, timestamped to the second, from their own freely published talks plus public-domain text. A retrieval engine returns only real windows, so a quote cannot be invented.

BuildThe chair and the vote are decided by a deterministic scorer, never by the model, so the same question always seats the same chair. The model writes only the prose, inside measured word budgets that keep the verdict on one screen.

Testing & re-testingNine rounds. Retrieval and routing across 50 questions, a quote-quality probe, 20 topics drilled to exhaustion, 100 random industries with zero dead ends, five real sales problems end to end, then two hostile campaigns of 103 and 120 questions including misspellings and injection attempts, with no crashes. Every failure reproduced, fixed, then re-run.

OrganisationVersioned, with a 157-check regression suite that runs before every release, the room template kept separate from the content so the design can be swapped, and packaged clean so no dev files ship.

Key strengths

✓Every quote is real and links to the exact second on video, so you can check it yourself.
✓Eight advisers who genuinely disagree, so you see the argument, not one confident answer.
✓No connectors and nothing running in the background. Install it and it works.
