ABM & Scale OS – a Claude Code operating system for account-based marketing and enterprise GTM

ABM & Scale OS

An open-source operating system for B2B account-based marketing and enterprise go-to-market, built as Claude Code skills.

Run a real ABM program from the command line: size the market, define and score the ICP, source and tier the account list, map the buying committee, wire the signal engine, build the plays, write the cadences and the air cover, align sales, and measure the whole thing against pipeline instead of impressions.

No app to host. No account. No database. Twenty-three skills plus plain text in a workspace/ folder on your machine.


Why this exists

Most ABM content is either vendor marketing for a platform you have not bought, or a conference talk about "1:1, 1:few, 1:many" that stops before anyone has to build anything. The operating detail is where programs die: how the tier thresholds get calibrated, who is allowed to be contacted at an account and who is a gatekeeper, which signal fires which play, what marketing owns versus what sales owns after the handoff, and what number you put on the board at the QBR.

ABM & Scale OS is that operating detail, written down as executable skills. It comes out of running enterprise ABM programs inside B2B companies, not out of a platform's best-practice PDF.

Three beliefs are baked into every skill:

  • Account selection is the program. A badly chosen list cannot be rescued by good creative. More of the work belongs at the front of the funnel than most teams put there.
  • Multi-threading is the mechanic that moves enterprise deals. Single-threaded accounts stall. Every play in here is designed to add stakeholders, not just touches.
  • Air cover without outbound is advertising. Ads, events, and content earn their keep when they are synchronized to a named account list that a human is also working.

The 23 skills

Foundation

  • abm-program-setup – program charter, objective, budget, motion, and the workspace it all writes to
  • icp-definition – three-dimensional ICP (firmographic, trigger, behavioral) with a 10-point account scoring rubric
  • account-sourcing – size the TAM, source the account universe, dedupe, suppress, and hand back a clean list
  • account-tiering – Fit plus Intent into a composite score, calibrated to your list's real distribution, then T1/T2/T3

Account intelligence

  • buying-committee-map – the roles that decide, the ones that block, and the multi-threading rules per tier
  • account-research – a Tier 1 account dossier built from public evidence, with a research prompt you can run at scale
  • signal-engine – the trigger taxonomy, recency decay, scoring, and the signal-to-play routing table
  • whitespace-expansion – the installed-base motion: new business units, new stakeholders, product whitespace

Narrative and assets

  • positioning-narrative – Dunford's five steps run against enterprise buyers, including the do-nothing alternative
  • messaging-hierarchy – the order you say things in, validated by the frontline, per persona and per segment
  • battlecards – competitive alternatives, win themes, objection handling, and the traps to set

Plays

  • play-designer – 1:1, 1:few, and 1:many play architecture with entry criteria, exit criteria, and a kill rule
  • outbound-cadence – multi-channel cadences by segment, with a call and a social touch behind every email
  • air-cover-ads – account-matched paid social, thought leader ads, audience sync, and suppression
  • field-and-events – executive dinners, trade shows, and roadshows, with the pre, at, and post motion that makes them pay
  • exec-engagement – executive sponsor programs, one-to-one briefings, and executive business reviews

Alignment and operations

  • sales-alignment – the SLA, the joint account plan, the handoff definition, and rep enablement
  • data-orchestration – the stack, the routing logic, suppression, hygiene, and the adapter layer for tool swaps
  • enterprise-deal-support – mutual action plans, security review, procurement, and the late-stage marketing motion

Measurement

  • abm-measurement – account engagement scoring, coverage, influence, the QBR, and the metrics that are lies

Quality

  • writing-quality – the anti-slop gate every writing skill runs before it returns copy
  • artifact-eval – scores an artifact against a rubric and revises until it passes

Operate

  • abm-and-scale-os – the front door: program status, next best action, and the weekly operating cadence

Full stage-by-stage map: docs/lifecycle.md.


Quickstart

  1. Install the skills (see INSTALL.md). Copy the skills/ folders into your Claude Code skills directory, or clone and point Claude Code at them.
  2. Set up the program. Run abm-program-setup. It interviews you on objective, motion, budget, and constraints, then writes workspace/program/.
  3. Build the list. Run icp-definition, then account-sourcing, then account-tiering. You end with a scored, tiered, suppressed target account list in workspace/accounts/target-accounts.csv.
  4. Start the loop. Run abm-and-scale-os. It reads the program state and tells you the next move, whether that is research on a Tier 1 account, a play that needs building, or a cadence that has gone cold.

The principles baked into every skill

  • No invented numbers. Nothing fabricates a stat, a customer, a case study result, or an intent score. If a number is not in your source material, the skill asks for it or marks it unknown.
  • Human in the loop. Nothing sends, publishes, or launches. Skills draft, score, and recommend. You approve.
  • Tier discipline. Tier 1 effort is expensive and finite. Every skill enforces the difference between what a T1 account gets and what a T3 account gets.
  • Sales is a co-author, not a recipient. Account plans, messaging, and handoff rules are built with the reps who will run them, and every skill says where that review happens.
  • Local and private. Your account lists, dossiers, and program docs live in workspace/ on your machine. .gitignore keeps them out of git by default.

The reference stack

The skills are written against a specific stack so they are runnable on day one, with substitutions documented for every layer:

Layer Reference Common swaps
List building and enrichment Clay Apollo, ZoomInfo, Ocean.io, Sales Navigator
CRM HubSpot or Salesforce Pipedrive, Attio
Sequencer Salesloft or Outreach Apollo, Smartlead, Instantly, HubSpot Sequences
Marketing automation HubSpot, Marketo, or Pardot Customer.io, Braze
Paid air cover LinkedIn Campaign Manager Meta, StackAdapt, programmatic display
Intent and signals Predictleads, UserGems, Champify 6sense, Demandbase, Bombora, G2 Buyer Intent
Research Claygent or a research agent Perplexity, manual analyst work

Full detail, including the "you have no budget" path for every layer: docs/stack.md.


Contributing

Issues and PRs welcome. Good first contributions: a new play in docs/plays-library.md, a vertical-specific ICP rubric, an adapter for a tool not in the stack table, or a new artifact-eval spec. House rules: no invented numbers, human in the loop, and every recommendation has to survive the question "does this move pipeline?"

License

MIT. Fork it, adapt it, run it inside your own company. If it books you a meeting at an account you could not get into before, that is the point.
