Biz Ansoff

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user needs to decide how to grow — through existing vs new markets and existing vs new products
• The user asks how should we grow
• Should we launch a new product
• Expand to new markets

Example prompts

• “how should we grow”
• “should we launch a new product or expand to new markets”
• “s our growth strategy”
• “/biz-ansoff”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Map the Four Quadrants
2. 2Evaluate Each Strategy
3. 3Assess Feasibility and Risk
4. 4Recommend a Growth Path

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7f4f8. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

  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

Biz Ansoff loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 624 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~92

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.6k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~3.8k

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

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.

description

Apply Ansoff Matrix to evaluate growth strategy options across market and product dimensions. Use this skill when the user needs to decide how to grow — through existing vs new markets and existing vs new products. Also use when the user asks 'how should we grow', 'should we launch a new product or expand to new markets', or 'what's our growth strategy'.

IRON LAW: Risk Increases Diagonally

Market Penetration (existing × existing) = lowest risk.
Diversification (new × new) = highest risk.
Product Development and Market Development are medium risk.

NEVER recommend diversification without explicitly acknowledging it carries
the highest risk and requires the most resources. Companies fail most often
when pursuing diversification without the capability to manage it.

# Ansoff Growth Strategy: {Company}

## Current Position
- Current markets: ...
- Current products: ...
- Growth objective: ...

## Strategy Options

| Strategy | Description | Risk | Resources | Timeline |
|----------|------------|------|-----------|----------|
| Market Penetration | {specific tactic} | Low | {$X} | {months} |
| Market Development | {specific tactic} | Medium | {$X} | {months} |
| Product Development | {specific tactic} | Medium | {$X} | {months} |
| Diversification | {specific tactic} | High | {$X} | {months} |

## Recommended Growth Path
1. **Phase 1**: {strategy} — {why first}
2. **Phase 2**: {strategy} — {why second}

## Risk Mitigation
- {strategy}: {specific risk} → {mitigation}
