About this skill

What is the Testimonial skill?

The Testimonial skill is how Moonrank's Writer Agent turns customer goodwill into usable proof: asking the questions that produce stories instead of adjectives, capturing the words verbatim, and editing by cutting only — so every published quote is specific, attributed, and genuinely the customer's.

It's written as a SKILL.md, a plain-language instruction format that people and AI agents can both follow. Read it to run your own testimonial interviews, or let the Writer Agent mine your calls and surveys for quotes worth publishing.

Downloading the playbook is free with a Moonrank account. Capturing quotes from real customer conversations and keeping every page backed by proof is what the Writer Agent does.

Example

See it in action

You ask

“Our testimonials all say some version of 'great tool, great support'. How do we get quotes that actually sell?”

Agent does

Generic quotes come from generic questions. The skill replaces "would you recommend us?" with "what was the week before you switched like?" — on your last 6 customer calls, that question style surfaced 9 usable quotes, including one with a number in it: "reporting went from 4 hours every Friday to 20 minutes." Trimmed, attributed with name and role, approved in writing, and placed next to the pricing objection it answers.

How it works

From input to fix list

  1. 1

    You provide access

    A customer call, a survey, or the raw praise already sitting in your inbox.

  2. 2

    Moonrank elicits specifics

    The Writer Agent asks about the before-state and chases every vague claim down to a task and a number.

  3. 3

    It edits by cutting only

    Verbatim capture, trimmed for length — nothing added, so the words stay the customer's.

  4. 4

    It attributes and places

    Name, role, company, and photo attached; each quote assigned to the page and objection it supports.

What's included

Everything it checks

Elicitation questions

Before-state prompts that produce stories, not adjectives.

Specificity chase

Every "it saved us time" followed until it names a task and a number.

Verbatim capture rule

Recorded or transcribed — reconstructed quotes drift and get caught.

Cut-only editing

Trim for length, fix grammar on request, add nothing. Ever.

Full attribution standard

Name, role, company, photo — each element you drop halves the credibility.

Written approval loop

The customer signs off on the exact text that will be published.

Use cases

When to reach for it

  • Replace a wall of generic praise with quotes that name outcomes.
  • Capture the great things customers say on calls before they evaporate.
  • Add credible proof to a landing page without a full case study.
  • Match each testimonial to the objection it actually answers.
  • Build an approval trail so no published quote is ever disputed.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

It's the Writer methodology Moonrank's Writer Agent follows — written out step by step, so you can read exactly how the work gets done rather than trusting a black box.

A plain-language instruction file that both people and AI agents can follow. Open it in any editor, paste it into Claude or ChatGPT, or drop it into an agent framework that reads skill files.

Yes. Every skill file is free with a Moonrank account — we ask for an email, not a credit card. Running the skill continuously against your site is what the paid product does.

Absolutely. The file is yours to adapt. Hand it to your team as a standard, run it manually, or point your own agent at it. Nothing in it depends on our platform.

The Writer Agent runs this methodology against your site on a schedule, prioritizes what it finds, and ships copy-ready fixes — no manual runs, no downloads to manage.
