august

august-concept-compare

Run the same concept, design, or copy past August twins across two or more variants (A/B/C/D) and return a side-by-side comparison instead of one twin's take at a time. Use whenever the user has multiple candidate concepts and wants twin-simulated preference signal before committing — landing page variants, packaging concepts, positioning angles, hero designs, pricing framings, ad creatives. Different from /august-feedback (single artifact). Also handles text-only variants (headlines, CTAs, taglines) — hard-scope output to phrase-level notes in that case. Triggers on: "compare these concepts", "A/B test with twins", "which variant do twins prefer", "run these variants past twins", "concept test", "/august-concept-compare".

august-feedback

Get feedback on ideas, designs, copy, flows, products, dashboards, or research questions by routing to the August MCP — a directory of LLM twins organized by org. Twins represent BOTH end shoppers (per brand org, e.g., GNC, Backcountry) AND product/dashboard users (under the Fermat org, e.g., researchers, PMs, ops users of the Fermat or August dashboards). Picks the best twin or runs a focus group depending on the task. Use whenever the user asks for feedback, reactions, customer perspective, user testing, persona input, dashboard-UX feedback, or "what would shoppers / dashboard users think." Triggers on: "get feedback", "ask August", "what would customers say", "run this by a twin", "focus group this", "/august-feedback".

august-flow-audit

Walk August twins through a proposed onboarding, checkout, signup, or funnel step-by-step and surface friction points before we ship. Screenshots, Figma frames, or step descriptions are attached as focus group stimuli one step at a time; twins call out where they'd get confused, hesitate, or drop off. Pre-launch, twin-simulated version of the friction points Commerce Graph measures post-launch. Triggers on: "audit this flow", "walkthrough with twins", "onboarding friction check", "test this funnel with twins", "friction check", "flow audit", "/august-flow-audit".

august-focus-group-report

Take an already-finished August focus group and turn its raw results into an actual readout — consensus points, disagreements with named sides, standout quotes, a rough sentiment split, and unresolved follow-up questions. Post-hoc synthesis only; does NOT trigger a new focus group. Use when the user has an FG that already ran and wants it read out for them instead of scrolling raw output. Triggers on: "focus group report", "synthesize focus group", "read out this focus group", "FG readout", "summarize the focus group", "/august-focus-group-report".

august-interview

Run a structured 1:1 interview with a single August twin off a discussion guide (a list of questions or topics the user provides), and return a clean synthesized write-up instead of raw back-and-forth. Use when the user wants depth on one persona and does NOT want to read the full transcript themselves. Triggers on: "interview a twin", "structured interview", "run a discussion guide", "walk a twin through these questions", "1:1 twin interview", "/august-interview".

august-pricing-check

Run a Van Westendorp-style pricing sensitivity study across August twins for a product, plan, or feature. Ask each twin the four canonical price questions (too cheap = quality suspect, bargain = good deal, expensive = would pause, prohibitively expensive = wouldn't buy) and aggregate into the acceptable price band plus the four inflection points (PMC, PME, OPP, IPP). Better than eyeballing one twin's answer. Use whenever the user wants directional price sensitivity, willingness-to-pay, or a price-band read from twins instead of live shoppers. Triggers on: "price check with twins", "van westendorp", "pricing sensitivity", "how much would twins pay", "what should I charge", "price band", "/august-pricing-check".

august-weekly-digest

Build a Slack-ready weekly digest of all August research — interviews and focus groups — run against a given org (or across all orgs) in the past 7 days. Surfaces top themes with supporting quotes, standout twin verbatims, and unresolved questions to follow up on, so the team stays caught up on customer signal without skimming raw transcripts. This workflow can be scheduled to run every Monday morning. Triggers on: "weekly august digest", "august weekly recap", "summarize this week's research", "what did we learn from twins this week", "/august-weekly-digest".

feedback-loops

Run an iterative feedback loop with August twins: put the same artifact (copy, design, concept, variant set) in front of a panel of twins round after round, applying the top suggestion from each round as a new variant, until the responses converge on a preferred direction. Auto-invokes /fix-question when a twin response is vague or hedged and re-asks that twin with a sharper prompt. Meta-skill that orchestrates other August skills so you don't have to manually kick each round. Triggers on: "run a feedback loop", "iterate feedback with twins", "keep iterating until", "loop twins on this", "converge on a variant", "/feedback-loops".

fix-question

Rewrite a loose or vague research question into a sharper, twin-friendly version that produces a better response from an August twin (or any human-like respondent). Standalone helper — invoke on its own to sharpen a question before sending to August, or let other skills (notably /feedback-loops) call it programmatically when a twin response comes back too vague to use. Does NOT call any August MCP tools — pure text rewrite. Triggers on: "rewrite this question", "make this question better", "sharpen my ask", "fix this research question", "this question is vague", "/fix-question".
