You’ve downloaded the skill. Here’s how to get it running and producing deliverables — start to first output in under ten minutes.
You’ll need:
• A Claude account (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise — skills aren’t available on the free tier)
• The Velocity IQ .zip you downloaded, unzipped
• A client to run it on. Pick a real one. The output is only as good as the target.
Don’t open the config files yet. Run it as-is on your first client, see what it produces, then tune it. Customizing before you’ve seen a single output is guessing.
Velocity IQ runs anywhere Claude reads skills. Pick the path that matches how you use Claude.
~/.claude/skills/ for personal use, or your project’s .claude/skills/ folder to share it with a team)Either way, installation is one-time. Once it’s in, it stays.
Start a new conversation and give Claude the client’s name and website. That’s the entire input.
Run Velocity IQ on [Client Name], [website URL].
Phase 1 runs its research agents in parallel and returns three deliverables:
Read the brief before your call. Bring the questionnaire into the room.
Run your client conversation as you normally would. Use the questionnaire to steer it. Record or transcribe the call — you’ll need the transcript for Phase 2. Any transcription tool works; most video platforms export one automatically.
Back in the same conversation, paste the transcript and tell Claude to run Phase 2.
Here’s the transcript. Run Phase 2.
Velocity IQ reconciles everything it found before the meeting with what actually happened in the room, builds the strategic picture, and renders it in your brand. Then choose what you need:
| Deliverable | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Executive proposal | You’re ready to pitch scope and price |
| Full strategic report | The client wants depth and rationale |
| Presentation deck | You’re walking them through it live |
| Snapshot (1–2 pages) | You need something fast and skimmable |
| Internal playbook | You’re briefing your own team |
| Sales intelligence brief | You’re qualifying or prioritizing the account |
Ask for one, several, or all of them. Each is built from the same reconciled picture, so they stay consistent.
Once you’ve seen a real output, open the three config files. They control your agency’s voice, your services, and how deliverables are framed. Edit them, reinstall, and every future run reflects how your agency actually works.
This is also where most agencies stop and reach out. If you want it tuned beyond what the config files cover — your methodology, your specific service mix, your deliverable templates — that’s the conversation we’d love to have.
