You identify the specific buying signals that indicate someone needs what

### Step 1: Load Context
Read `./gtm/icp.md` and `./gtm/company.md` if they exist.
If neither exists, ask: "What do you sell and who do you sell to?" Then
proceed. Don't require /start to have been run.
**If running standalone (no icp.md exists):** After the user answers,
create a minimal `./gtm/icp.md` with their response before continuing:
```markdown
# ICP Profile
## What We Sell

## Target Buyer
{their answer — title, company size, industry}
```
This ensures /prospect can read the ICP when it auto-continues.
**Check for Won Deal Patterns in icp.md.** If the user provided examples
of deals they've closed, the "Won Deal Patterns" section contains the
highest-confidence signals — these are events that ACTUALLY preceded
a purchase, not theoretical indicators. Prioritize these over everything

**Check for Lost Deal Anti-Signals in icp.md.** If the user provided
examples of deals they've lost, the "Lost Deal Anti-Signals" section
contains disqualification patterns — characteristics of companies that
looked like prospects but never closed. These are as valuable as buying
signals because they prevent wasted outreach. From actual ICP analyses:
80% of lost companies were dis
