Guided first-run demo for Cargo — one persona question to 25 real leads with a cost receipt in under two minutes, ending by saving the pull as a recurring play. Triggers: \"show me what Cargo can do\", \"give me a demo\", \"take me on a tour\", \"quickstart\", \"getting started with Cargo\", \"I just installed Cargo\", \"my workspace is empty\", \"does this actually work\". Skip when: the user has a real job to run (build a list, enrich a CSV, find emails) — use cargo-gtm; when they want CLI reference or routing — use the cargo router skill.

From the source SKILL.md

One guided demo: pull ~25 fresh leads matching a buyer persona the user picks, show the cost receipt, then save the pull as a recurring play. The point is not the list — it's that in minute 3 the user owns a running system, not a one-off result.
