Biz Blue Ocean

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user needs to differentiate beyond price competition
• Find new market opportunities
• Redesign a products value proposition using the Strategy Canvas and Four Actions Framework (Eliminate-Reduce-Raise-Create)
• The user says how do we stop competing on price

Example prompts

• “how do we stop competing on price”
• “create a new category”
• “escape the red ocean”
• “/biz-blue-ocean”

Workflow steps

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

2. 2Apply the Four Actions Framework
3. 3Draw the New Value Curve
4. 4Test with the Three Characteristics

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 Blue Ocean loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 752 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~114

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

~2k

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

~8.9k

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 Blue Ocean Strategy to create uncontested market space through value innovation. Use this skill when the user needs to differentiate beyond price competition, find new market opportunities, or redesign a product's value proposition using the Strategy Canvas and Four Actions Framework (Eliminate-Reduce-Raise-Create). Also use when the user says 'how do we stop competing on price', 'create a new category', or 'escape the red ocean'.

IRON LAW: Value Innovation = Differentiation + Low Cost Simultaneously

Blue Ocean is NOT about choosing between differentiation and low cost.
It requires BOTH — achieve differentiation by Raising and Creating factors,
AND achieve low cost by Eliminating and Reducing factors.

If a strategy only adds features (cost goes up), it's differentiation, not Blue Ocean.
If a strategy only cuts features (value drops), it's cost leadership, not Blue Ocean.

IRON LAW: Customer Utility First, Technology Second

Blue Ocean strategies are defined by the buyer's VALUE, not by technological
innovation. A new technology that doesn't shift the buyer's value curve is
not a Blue Ocean move. Always start from what the customer values.

# Blue Ocean Strategy: {Product/Service}

## Current Strategy Canvas

| Competitive Factor | Industry Avg | Competitor A | Competitor B | Our Current |
|-------------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|------------|
| {factor 1} | H/M/L | H/M/L | H/M/L | H/M/L |
| {factor 2} | ... | ... | ... | ... |

## Four Actions Framework

### Eliminate (remove entirely)
- {Factor}: {why it can be removed without losing core value}

### Reduce (well below standard)
- {Factor}: {why this can be scaled back}

### Raise (well above standard)
- {Factor}: {why this matters more than the industry realizes}

### Create (never offered before)
- {Factor}: {what new value this brings to buyers}

## New Value Curve

| Competitive Factor | Industry Avg | Our Blue Ocean |
|-------------------|-------------|---------------|
| {factor} | H/M/L | Eliminated/Low/Med/High/New |

## Strategy Validation
- **Focus**: {which factors we emphasize}
- **Divergence**: {how our curve differs from competitors}
- **Tagline**: "{one-sentence strategy summary}"

## Implementation Priorities
