get_entity({ oId: "<product_oId>" })
# Get persona details
get_entity({ oId: "<persona_oId>" })
# Get reference details (for case studies)
get_entity({ oId: "<reference_oId>" })
# Search for relevant proof points
search_knowledge_base({ query: "<topic>", entityTypes: ["proof_point"] })
# Get relevant use cases
search_knowledge_base({ query: "<topic>", entityTypes: ["use_case"] })
# Search for messaging
search_knowledge_base({ query: "<persona> pain points value" })
Step 4: Generate Content
Use generate_content with structured instructions:
generate_content({
instructions: "<detailed content brief>",
person: { ... }, // if persona-targeted
company: { ... }, // if account-specific
customContext: "<library context gathered>"
})
Present the generated content with clear sections:
See one-pager-output.md for the One-Pager output template.
See case-study-output.md for the Case Study output template.
Step 5: Iterate and Refine

Brand Voice Integration
Always check for brand voices and apply:
list_all_entities(entityType: "brand_voice")
If multiple voices exist, ask:
Which brand voice should I use?
1. [Voice 1 name] - [description]
2. [Voice 2 name] - [description]
3. No specific voice (neutral professional)
Apply selected voice guidelines to all generated content.
Generation Mode Note
This skill uses Octave's generate_content and generate_email tools by default. Two alternatives:
- Saved agents: Check for matching agents with
list_agents when relevant. See /octave-explore-agents.
- Claude-direct: Skip
generate_* calls, gather Octave context, Claude writes directly. Offer when user wants more control.
For the full interactive mode selector, use /octave-generate.

Error Handling
Missing Product:
No products found in your library.
To create effective collateral, I need product information.
Run /octave-library create product to add your product first.
Missing Brand Voice:
No brand voice defined. I'll use a neutral professional tone.
For consistent messaging, consider creating a brand voice:
This is done in the Octave web app under Settings > Brand Voices.
