Draft the terms and conditions an affiliate accepts when joining a commission-based program - the affiliate program agreement, with the canonical clause set, prohibited-tactics clauses and enforcement ladder, commission validation, clawback and termination mechanics, and jurisdiction overlays (FTC endorsement rules, EU P2B, UK ASA/CAP, GDPR roles). Output is a clause-complete draft flagged for mandatory legal review, for B2B SaaS and B2C ecommerce alike. Use whenever the user mentions affiliate program terms, an affiliate agreement, prohibited tactics, or a brand-bidding policy, even if they only ask what affiliates must agree to. Do NOT use for reviewing a published post's disclosure label - use mbfinotti/partnerships-skills@affiliate-disclosure-compliance instead.
Decide which third-party marketplaces to list on, how much to invest in each, what ROI to expect, and when to delist - marketplace prioritization for partner teams. Covers cloud marketplace listing strategy, SaaS app store and integration directory prioritization, and retail marketplace selection for ecommerce (1P vs 3P vs hybrid), with a readiness gate, weighted scorecard, and provenance-flagged ROI expectations. Use whenever the user mentions AWS, Azure or GCP marketplaces, an app store listing, an integration directory, or asks whether a marketplace listing is worth it, even if they never say marketplace strategy.

Also covers the B2C affiliate and creator review contrast. Use whenever the user mentions a partner scorecard, partner reviews, a channel partner QBR, a partner health check, or an underperforming channel partner, even if they never say performance. One partner at a time. Do NOT use for designing the tier ladder itself - use mbfinotti/partnerships-skills@partner-tiering instead.
Design or redesign the tier structure inside an existing B2B partner program - qualification criteria, benefit bundles, tier count, promotion and demotion rules, review cadence for registered/silver/gold-style ladders, and migration of the current partner base.

Also covers consumer brands (D2C vs retail conflict, MAP policy, channel-exclusive assortment). Use whenever the user mentions channel conflict, partner disputes, deal poaching, or two routes to market claiming the same account, even if they never say conflict. Do NOT use for designing the co-sell operating model - use mbfinotti/partnerships-skills@co-selling-strategy instead.
Employer-side partnerships hiring across the field's four sub-disciplines - channel/alliance, affiliate, influencer/creator, referral. Calibrates the scorecard to company type (startup generalist, scale-up specialist, enterprise per-hyperscaler headcount, PLG integrations-first), builds the channel-manager loop with its named judgment test and negotiation role-play, sources candidates from the field's job board and communities, and gates compensation on live verification since public benchmarks disagree by 2-3x. States plainly where no documented loop exists for a sub-discipline. Use whenever the user asks how to hire a partner manager, write a partnerships job posting, design an interview loop, or source candidates. Do NOT use for candidate-side prep (mbfinotti/partnerships-skills@partnerships-career).
Check a specific piece of affiliate or influencer content (caption, video script, transcript, screenshot, or live URL) against disclosure regulations and return a pass/fail compliance review with placement, wording, and per-format fixes. Covers FTC affiliate disclosure (16 CFR 255 and 465), UK CAP/CMA rules, EU UCPD and DSA, and German, French and Italian overlays, pre-publication or already live. Use whenever the user mentions affiliate disclosure, FTC disclosure, paid partnership labeling, sponsored content, ad tags, or a partner post that may be missing or burying its disclosure, even if they never say compliance.

Design the reward structure of a customer refer-a-friend program - who gets rewarded (referrer, friend, or both), reward type (cash, account credit, discount, product value, status), how much to pay against LTV/CAC and gross margin, when the payout fires, and whether to build a tiered reward ladder. Use whenever the user mentions referral incentives, refer-a-friend rewards, referral bonus amounts, give-X-get-Y offers, double-sided referral rewards, or asks how big a referral reward should be, even if they never say incentive. Covers end-customer rewards only. Do NOT use for commission rates paid to professional affiliates - use mbfinotti/partnerships-skills@affiliate-commission-structure instead.
Draft the creative campaign brief a brand hands to an already-signed influencer or creator for one campaign - deliverables with exact specs, key messages with proof points, brand guardrails, disclosure requirements, timeline, and bounded review rounds, split into non-negotiables vs preferences. Covers B2C brand collabs and B2B creator programs. Use whenever the user mentions a creator brief, campaign brief, content brief, creator deliverables, or briefing a creator they just signed, even if they never say brief. Starts after the deal is signed and reflects its terms exactly. Do NOT use for picking or vetting the creator - use mbfinotti/partnerships-skills@influencer-discovery-brief instead.
Prepare a brand-side partnership manager to negotiate deal terms with an influencer or creator, from the creator's first positive reply to a signed contract - a written playbook of term-by-term opening positions, a concession ladder, red-flag responses, and walk-away thresholds covering rates, usage rights, exclusivity, revision limits, payment terms, and kill fees. Covers B2C brand collabs and B2B creator programs.

Benchmarks a competitor's developer relations motion from publicly observable signals - documentation and quickstart quality, open-source repository health, community size and responsiveness, Q&A tag activity, content cadence by format, event presence, hiring signals - and returns a gap plan with a close, ignore or counter verdict per row. Use whenever the user asks for a devrel competitive benchmark, a developer experience comparison, "how do we compare to <competitor> for developers", "what is <competitor> doing in devrel", a community size or content cadence comparison, or a docs comparison against rivals - even if they only say "why do they get more developers". Not for measuring your own program alone - use samber/developer-relations-skills@devrel-metrics.
