A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Design a Voice-of-Customer program that turns raw feedback into routed, prioritized, evidence-backed actions - not a quarterly NPS report nobody reads. ECHO replaces ad-hoc surveys with a multi-source signal pipeline that PMs, CS, and marketing all rely on.
*VoC fails when it conflates collection with insight. A survey isn't a program. ECHO standardizes how signal is elicited, themed, prioritized, and closed* - with the loop back to the customer being the most often skipped step.
| Letter | Stage | The Question |
|---|---|---|
| E | Elicit | What sources are tapped, with what cadence, and how is bias controlled? |
| C | Categorize | How is feedback themed, tagged, and made queryable? |
| H | Highlight | What prioritization frame separates signal from noise? |
| O | Operationalize | Who owns the action, what's the SLA, and how is the loop closed with the customer? |
A robust program reads from multiple channels and triangulates:
| Source | Quality | Volume | Bias Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surveys (NPS, CSAT, CES) | Quantitative + open-ended | High | Survey fatigue, selection bias |
| Win / loss interviews | Deep qualitative | Low | Selection bias toward closed deals |
| Customer advisory board | Strategic qualitative | Very low | Top-customer bias |
| Support tickets | Reactive, problem-focused | Very high | Skewed to broken, not desired |
| Product analytics | Behavioral, not stated | Very high | Observation without intent |
| CSM call notes | Contextual qualitative | High | CSM filter |
| Sales call recordings | Pre-sale voice | High | Sales-stage filter |
| Community / public reviews | Honest, public | Medium | Vocal-minority bias |
| Churn / contraction interviews | High-signal | Low | Painful but most actionable |
Without disciplined theming, VoC becomes a junk drawer. Adopt:
| Field | Spec |
|---|---|
| Theme | Standardized taxonomy (refreshed quarterly, not ad-hoc) |
| Severity | Critical / Major / Minor - based on revenue impact, not emotion |
| Source | Channel of origin (survey, ticket, call, etc.) |
| Segment | ICP segment, plan tier, motion |
| Stage | Pre-sale / Onboarding / Adoption / Renewal / Churn |
| Evidence Count | Number of distinct customers raising the theme |
| Revenue at Risk / Opportunity | ARR exposure or expansion potential |
| Lens | Question |
|---|---|
| Frequency | How many distinct customers, by segment? |
| Severity | Revenue impact if unaddressed (churn risk, deal blocker) |
| Solvability | Effort vs leverage of the fix |
| Strategic Fit | Does the fix advance the platform thesis or fix a wart? |
| Reach | What share of ARR or users does the change touch? |
Combine into a RICE-style score, but never let the score replace judgment - leadership review is part of the process.
| Theme Type | Owner | SLA |
|---|---|---|
| Product bug / friction | PM / Eng | Triaged in 5 business days |
| Onboarding gap | CS Ops | Updated playbook in 10 business days |
| Messaging / positioning gap | Product Marketing | Refreshed asset in 15 business days |
| Pricing / packaging objection | Pricing Council | Quarterly review |
| Roadmap signal | PM Leadership | Roadmap update in next planning cycle |
| Service quality | Support Ops | Triaged in 5 business days |
Loop closure with the customer is non-negotiable. Every customer who raised a theme should hear back when a related change ships - closes trust loop and earns the next round of feedback.
