About

growth-marketer is a Claude Code skill that structures end-to-end growth marketing work for software products. It helps developers and product leads design experiments across acquisition, activation, retention, and referral, applying cohort analysis, channel tests, and conversion optimization to prioritize what moves users and revenue. The skill frames hypotheses, measurement plans, and iteration cycles so agent-assisted sessions produce actionable growth roadmaps instead of generic marketing copy. Reach for it when a shipped product needs structured funnel diagnosis, experiment backlogs, or retention-focused campaign planning. It complements analytics implementation skills but does not replace tracking instrumentation or ad platform setup.

How do you plan full-funnel growth experiments for a SaaS product?

Plan full-funnel experiments across acquisition, activation, retention, and referral using cohort analysis, channel tests, and conversion optimization to scale users and revenue.

Who is it for?

Developers and product engineers who own growth metrics and need structured experiment plans across acquisition through referral.

Skip if: Teams still validating product scope or building core features without an existing user base to measure.

When should I use this skill?

A developer asks to improve retention, run channel tests, design referral loops, or build a cohort-based growth experiment plan.

What you get

Experiment backlog, cohort analysis framework, channel test plan, and conversion optimization recommendations.

Growth Marketer

The agent operates as a senior growth marketer, delivering experiment-driven strategies for scalable user acquisition, activation, retention, referral, and revenue optimization.

Workflow

1. Define North Star Metric - Identify the single metric that reflects customer value and leads to revenue. Checkpoint: the metric must be measurable, actionable, and correlated with retention. 2. Map the AARRR funnel - Quantify current performance at each stage (Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Referral, Revenue). Checkpoint: every stage has a baseline number and a target. 3. Identify biggest lever - Find the funnel stage with the largest drop-off or lowest performance vs. benchmark. This becomes the focus area. 4. Design experiments - Write hypotheses using the format: "If we [change], then [metric] will [direction] by [amount] because [reasoning]." Prioritize using ICE scoring. 5. Calculate sample size and run - Determine required sample per variant for statistical significance (95% confidence, 80% power). Launch the experiment. 6. Analyze results - Evaluate lift, p-value, and guardrail metrics. Decision: Ship, Iterate, or Kill. 7. Model growth trajectory - Forecast user growth incorporating acquisition rate, churn, and viral coefficient. Validate that LTV:CAC > 3:1 for sustainability.

Experimentation Framework

Experiment Document Template

# Experiment: Onboarding Checklist v2

## Hypothesis
If we add a progress bar to the onboarding checklist, then activation rate
will increase by 15% because users respond to completion motivation.

## Metrics
- Primary: 7-day activation rate
- Secondary: Time to first value action
- Guardrails: Support ticket volume, bounce rate

## Design
- Type: A/B test
- Sample: 8,200 per variant (5% baseline, 15% MDE, 95% confidence)
- Duration: 14 days
- Segments: New signups only

## Results
| Variant   | Users  | Activation | Lift  | p-value |
|-----------|--------|------------|-------|---------|
| Control   | 8,350  | 5.1%       | -     | -       |
| Treatment | 8,280  | 6.2%       | +21%  | 0.003   |

Sample Size Calculator

from scipy import stats

def sample_size(baseline_rate, mde, alpha=0.05, power=0.8):
    """Calculate required sample size per variant for an A/B test.

    Args:
        baseline_rate: Current conversion rate (e.g. 0.05 for 5%)
        mde: Minimum detectable effect as proportion (e.g. 0.15 for 15% lift)
        alpha: Significance level (default 0.05)
        power: Statistical power (default 0.8)

    Returns:
        Required users per variant (int)

    Example:
        >>> sample_size(0.05, 0.15)
        8218

Viral Growth

K-Factor = invites per user (i) x conversion rate of invites (c)

  • K > 1: True viral growth (each user brings >1 new user)
  • K = 0.5-1: Viral boost (amplifies paid acquisition)
  • K < 0.5: Minimal viral effect

Growth Forecast Model

def growth_forecast(current_users, monthly_growth_rate, months):
    """Forecast user base over time with compound growth.

    Example:
        >>> growth_forecast(10000, 0.10, 12)[-1]
        31384
    """
    users = [current_users]
    for _ in range(months):
        users.append(int(users[-1] * (1 + monthly_growth_rate)))
    return users

Troubleshooting

SymptomLikely CauseResolution
K-factor below 0.1 despite referral programInvite UX has too much friction or incentive misaligned with user valueReduce invite flow to one click; align incentive with product value (usage credits > cash)
Activation rate below 20% for new signupsTime-to-value too long or onboarding not guiding users to aha momentMap activation events, identify first value action, build guided onboarding to reach it in under 5 minutes
Growth stalls after initial PLG rampFree tier captures low-intent users who never convert; paid conversion rate below 3%Tighten free tier limits around high-value features, add contextual upgrade prompts at usage gates
A/B test results not reaching significanceSample size too small for the minimum detectable effect being testedUse sample size calculator; increase traffic to test or accept larger MDE
Cohort retention curves flatten at under 15%Product does not build enough habit; no ongoing value loopImplement engagement hooks (notifications, reports, streaks); investigate which features drive retention
Experiments consistently show no liftTesting cosmetic changes rather than meaningful value propositionsFocus experiments on activation flow, pricing, and value communication — not button colors

Success Criteria

  • North Star Metric identified, measurable, and reviewed weekly with cross-functional team
  • Activation rate above 40% for new signups within first 7 days
  • LTV:CAC ratio sustained above 3:1 across all acquisition channels
  • K-factor above 0.5, providing meaningful viral amplification of paid acquisition
  • Experiment velocity of 2+ tests per sprint with documented hypotheses and outcomes
  • D30 retention at or above SaaS benchmark (30%) for primary user segment
  • Growth model accurately forecasts within 15% of actual for 3-month projections

Scope & Limitations

In Scope: AARRR funnel optimization, experiment design and prioritization (ICE/RICE), viral growth modeling, PLG strategy, retention analysis, cohort analysis, growth forecasting, acquisition channel analysis, sample size calculation.

Out of Scope: Brand strategy (see brand-strategist skill), content creation (see content-creator skill), paid ad campaign management (see paid-ads skill), product design and engineering implementation, pricing strategy.

Limitations: Growth loop models use simplified compound growth assumptions — real growth has diminishing returns and market saturation effects. Viral coefficient calculations assume uniform user behavior; actual viral spread varies by segment. Sample size calculator uses normal approximation; for very low conversion rates, exact tests may be needed.

FAQ

What funnel stages does growth-marketer cover?

growth-marketer covers acquisition, activation, retention, and referral. It helps developers map experiments and cohort analyses across all four stages rather than focusing on a single top-of-funnel tactic.

Does growth-marketer replace analytics tooling?

growth-marketer plans experiments and measurement frameworks but does not instrument events or configure ad platforms. Pair it with analytics implementation work to ensure cohort and conversion data exists.
