How to use the CRO Review Interrogator agent skill (cro-review)
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
The cro-review skill is a set of instructions that lets an AI agent run a structured chief revenue officer review of a revenue plan. It is aimed at founders and sales leaders who want to test whether a revenue target or sales hiring plan holds up. After this guide you will know what the skill does, how to install it, how to trigger it with a plain request, and what you need to supply for a useful result.
CRO Review Interrogatoralirezarezvani/claude-skills · MIT Download the skill Quick start
- 1Get the ZIP. Download the cro-review ZIP from this directory's skill page.
- 2Unzip into a skills folder. Extract it into ~/.claude/skills/ for all projects, or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder for one project.
- 3Check the plugin. Confirm Claude Code has the claude-skills plugin installed, since the command path depends on it.
- 4Gather revenue data. Collect pipeline by stage, win rates for the last four quarters, retention, rep hire dates, discounts and source mix.
- 5Run the review. Use /c-level-agents:cro-review with your plan, or ask in plain language about pipeline coverage, win rates or hiring.
- 6Act on the verdict. Read the red, amber or green verdict and work through the three next steps before committing to the target or hires.
What an agent skill is and what cro-review makes the agent do
An agent skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file that tells an AI agent how to handle a specific task. When the skill is installed and relevant, the agent follows its instructions rather than improvising.
The cro-review skill (command /c-level-agents:cro-review [plan]) makes the agent interrogate a revenue plan with six questions: pipeline coverage by stage, win rate trajectory, NRR decomposition into gross retention, contraction and expansion, sales rep ramp time, discount discipline, and pipeline source mix. It then produces a report with a Pipeline, Retention, Ramp, Discount and Source Mix section, a verdict of ON PLAN (green), GAP (amber) or PIPELINE CRISIS (red), and three concrete next steps.
- Pipeline coverage: the skill's thresholds are 3x for inbound-heavy and 4x for outbound-heavy pipelines.
- NRR is split so that churn is not hidden behind a single headline number.
- Routing: it points to /c-level-agents:cfo-review, /c-level-agents:cmo-review, /c-level-agents:execute (if green) and /c-level-agents:boardroom (if red).
Install the cro-review skill
Download the ZIP from the skill's page on this directory. Unzip it into your personal skills folder, ~/.claude/skills/, or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder if you want the skill available only in that project.
If you use the Claude apps instead of Claude Code, you can upload the skill under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
- Requirement: Claude Code with the claude-skills plugin installed, since the command path uses ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}.
- The download contains SKILL.md. The skill's referenced scripts are not included in the provided files.
Trigger the skill with a natural request
You can use the slash command directly: /c-level-agents:cro-review <plan>, where <plan> is your revenue plan or a description of it. The skill's description also says to use it when the forecast misses pipeline coverage, win rates drop, or before scaling the sales team, so a plain request on those topics can match it.
Give the agent the numbers when you ask. The skill is a questionnaire and report template, so the output is only as good as the data you provide: pipeline by stage, win rates over the last four quarters, retention figures, rep hire dates, discounts and source mix.
- Example: "Run the CRO review on our Q3 plan. Pipeline is 2.4x coverage, win rate fell from 28% to 21% over four quarters."
- Example: "Before we hire six reps, run /c-level-agents:cro-review on this plan with our last four hires' ramp data."
/c-level-agents:cro-review <plan>Understand the six questions and the report
Each question has a clear test. Pipeline coverage is checked by stage and weighted by stage, not just a total. Win rate is compared with the last four quarters, and the agent looks for the stage where the leak is. Ramp time asks how many days the last four hires took to first deal and to quota; the source says ramp over 90 days at growth stage suggests a broken hiring profile or enablement.
Discount is judged by the median this quarter against the last four, with the note that creep is a leading indicator of pricing or positioning weakness. Source mix flags any single source above 80% as concentration risk, and the skill suggests cross-checking with cs-cmo-advisor.
Optional: run the referenced scripts
The workflow section lists two Python scripts, revenue_forecast_model.py and churn_analyzer.py, located under the plugin's vendor folder. The source says these scripts are not included in the provided files, so the skill will only run them if you have them in your installation. Without them, the questionnaire and report still work from the numbers you supply.
- Python is needed only to run these two scripts.
- The skill does not use the network, according to the listing.
python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/vendor/c-level-advisor/cro-advisor/scripts/revenue_forecast_model.py
python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/vendor/c-level-advisor/cro-advisor/scripts/churn_analyzer.pySafety notes and limits
The skill runs scripts when they are present, so review any script before running it, as you would any local code. The listing states the skill makes no network calls.
The skill is not a substitute for real financial data. For regulated financial forecasting or investor reporting, have a qualified finance professional verify the figures.
- Use the report to decide what to investigate, not as a final forecast.
- Check that your win rate, retention and ramp numbers come from the same period and definitions.
What people use it for
- Checking whether next quarter's revenue target is realistic before committing to it.
- Deciding whether to hire a batch of reps or change the sales motion, such as moving from sales-led to PLG.
- Investigating a forecast that missed pipeline coverage or a falling win rate.
- Looking at whether NRR hides a gross retention problem by splitting it into contraction and expansion.
Frequently asked questions
Is the cro-review skill free?
The skill is published under the MIT licence, as stated on its listing. Check the licence file in the repository for the full terms before redistributing it.
What do I need to install cro-review?
You need Claude Code with the claude-skills plugin installed, because the command path uses the plugin root variable. You also need the skill's ZIP from this directory, which you unzip into ~/.claude/skills/ or a project's .claude/skills/ folder.
Can I use cro-review in the Claude apps?
The listing says you can upload the skill in the Claude apps under Settings → Capabilities → Skills. The slash command path depends on Claude Code and the plugin.
Do I need Python to use it?
Python is needed only to run the two referenced scripts, revenue_forecast_model.py and churn_analyzer.py. The source says those scripts are not included in the provided files, so the questionnaire and report work without them if you supply your own numbers.
Does cro-review access the internet?
The listing says the skill does not use the network. It does reference scripts, so review them before running.
What should I use instead of cro-review?
If you need a finance-specific check, use the cfo-review command the skill routes to, or have a qualified finance professional verify the figures. The skill is best viewed as a structured questionnaire, not a replacement for a full forecasting model or real financial data.

Our verdict
Use cro-review if you are a founder or sales leader who wants a disciplined checklist for testing a revenue target or hiring plan, and you can supply accurate pipeline, win rate, retention and ramp numbers. Pick something else if you need a regulated or investor-grade forecast, or if you have no revenue data to put into it, because the skill's output depends entirely on the inputs.
