At a glance

Get from a subject someone could write about to one they could own, and say out loud what they are giving up to do it.

  • Works in 5 steps: start from what they have already… → the three axes → the fifty-posts test → …
  • Someone says their content feels scattered
  • SKILL.md covers Step 1: start from what they…, Step 2: the three axes, Step 3: the fifty-posts test and Step 4: name the cost out loud, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Narrow My Niche is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Get from a subject someone could write about to one they could own, and say out loud what they are giving up to do it. Use when someone says their content feels scattered, cannot describe what they post about, is choosing between two audiences, or asks how to position themselves. Do not pick the niche for them, and do not promise that narrowing will grow an account.

Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Writing & Content. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone says their content feels scattered
  • Cannot describe what they post about
  • Is choosing between two audiences
  • Asks how to position themselves

Example prompts

  • “/narrow-my-niche”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. start from what they have already published
  2. the three axes
  3. the fifty-posts test
  4. name the cost out loud
  5. leave a door

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Narrow My Niche loads about 985 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 610 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~985

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 610 words (~985 tokens).

“Most niche advice stops at "go narrower", which is not actionable, because it never says narrower along which axis. People then narrow the subject, lose interest in three weeks, and conclude that niching does not work for them.”
