SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Brands often struggle to articulate where they sit in the market and how they differ from competitors, resulting in generic messaging that could apply to anyone. This Skill guides a structured positioning exercise that produces a defensible, clearly articulated market position. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Category Definition: Challenges the stated category and identifies more ownable or adjacent category framings. - Competitive Landscape Mapping: Maps 4-6 competitors on two axes to reveal unclaimed territory. - Positioning Statement & Proof Points: Produces a formal positioning statement, strategic and conversational variants, and concrete reasons to believe. - Boundary Setting: Defines what the brand refuses to be, sharpening the position by exclusion. - Use Case: A startup founder entering a crowded SaaS category uses this Skill to map competitors, identify an unclaimed territory, and walk away with a positioning statement plus proof points for their pitch deck. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to help position your brand against competitors in your category, providing your product, target audience, and main competitors.

How do I map competitors for brand positioning?▼

Plot 4-6 competitors on two axes relevant to your category, such as affordable versus premium or functional versus emotional. The Skill describes each competitor's territory in text and identifies unclaimed space your brand can own.

What information do I need before positioning a brand?▼

You need the category, primary audience, top 3-5 competitors, current market perception, key differentiator, and five-year brand ambition. If a brand-context.md file exists, the Skill reads it first and only asks for missing information.

What are common brand positioning mistakes?▼

Common red flags include positioning that could apply to any competitor, audiences too broad to own, differentiators that are table stakes like good service, and claims the brand cannot support with proof points. The Skill flags these automatically.

Can this Skill work for a new brand with no market presence?▼

Yes. For new brands, the current perception input is simply skipped, and the analysis focuses on category framing, competitor territory, and the position the brand wants to claim from launch.
