Ask at the right moment, with three questions they can answer fast.
A testimonial request for the end of a freelance project, with questions, a permission line, and a gentle follow-up.
The usual testimonial ask is "would you mind writing a few words?" It gives the client homework with no starting point, and it lands in the inbox next to the invoice. The common result is silence, or a polite yes that never arrives.
Freelance Testimonial Ask checks the moment first: delivered, happy, nothing unpaid. Then it writes three specific questions the client can answer in a line each, and offers to draft the quote for their approval. A separate permission line covers naming and logos.

Before you buy.
How is this different from just asking Claude directly?
Asked cold, Claude writes a warm, open request that asks the client to say something nice. This Playbook decides when to send, shapes the ask into three answerable questions, and handles naming permission separately.
How is this different from a Tool?
Playbooks are systematically produced to a fixed template and priced accordingly ($12.99). Tools are hand-built, one at a time, and go deeper ($39 to $199). A Playbook gives you a reliable method for routine work; a Tool is for when the judgment matters more than the format.
Will this work with ChatGPT, Gemini, and other LLMs?
Yes. You get a native Claude Skill (.zip) that auto-invokes in Claude, plus a plain .md you can paste into a ChatGPT Custom GPT, a Gemini system prompt, or any LLM. The procedure travels with the file.
Can I share this with my team?
It's licensed for your own personal and professional use. The output it produces is yours to circulate. To put the Playbook itself in the hands of a whole team, email hello@authority.md about team licensing.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file hasn't been delivered, or arrives defective or empty, we refund in full: see our refund policy.
