Examples
Example 1: User asks "which platform should I focus on?"

- Ask about their capacity (hours per week)
- Recommend based on:
- Limited time → Pick ONE platform, go deep
- DTC focus → Twitter first
- Investor focus → LinkedIn first
Example 2: User asks "help me with Twitter strategy"
Response: "Let me use the Twitter/X GTM skill which has the detailed playbook." → Route to twitter-x-gtm skill
Example 3: User asks "write me a LinkedIn post about CES"
Response: "I'll use both the LinkedIn GTM skill for format and voice, and the Event GTM skill for conference content strategy." → Use linkedin-gtm + event-gtm together
