What it does

Biz Brand Positioning is an agent skill from asgard-ai-platform/skills. Develop brand positioning strategy including positioning statements, perceptual maps, and brand personality/archetype analysis. Use this skill when the user needs to define or refine how their brand is perceived relative to competitors, craft a positioning statement, build a brand identity framework, or map competitive positions — even if they say 'what makes us different', 'our brand feels generic', or 'how do customers see us vs competitors'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `examples/sample_scenario.md`, `references/brand-archetypes.md` and `references/perceptual-mapping.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Positioning and messaging. The repository describes itself as: 301 open-source coding agent skills across 22 domains — methodology, judgment & gotchas packaged as Claude Agent Skills for the Asgard AI Platform. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs to define
  • Refine how their brand is perceived relative to competitors
  • Craft a positioning statement
  • Build a brand identity framework

Example prompts

  • “what makes us different”
  • “our brand feels generic”
  • “how do customers see us vs competitors”
  • “/biz-brand-positioning”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define the Competitive Frame
  2. Craft the Positioning Statement
  3. Build the Perceptual Map
  4. Define Brand Personality
  5. Identify Brand Archetype (Optional)

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 Brand Positioning loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 627 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~118
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.1k

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.

Brand Positioning

Overview

Brand positioning defines the distinct place a brand occupies in the target customer's mind relative to competitors. It combines a positioning statement (verbal), a perceptual map (visual), and brand personality (emotional). Positioning is the bridge between STP (who to target) and execution (how to communicate).

When to Use

Trigger conditions:

  • User creating or refreshing a brand identity
  • User needs to differentiate from competitors
  • User asks "what makes us different?" or "how do customers perceive us?"
  • User's brand feels generic or unfocused

When NOT to use:

  • For market segmentation → use STP first (positioning comes after targeting)
  • For tactical marketing mix → use 4P/7P
  • For product feature decisions → use Value Proposition Canvas or JTBD

Framework

IRON LAW: Positioning Is in the Customer's Mind, Not Your Brochure

Positioning is about PERCEPTION, not reality. You don't decide your position —
customers do. You can influence it through consistent signals, but the ultimate
test is: "When customers think of [category], do they think of us?"

A positioning statement is a GOAL — verify it matches actual perception
through customer research.
IRON LAW: One Position Per Brand

A brand cannot own two positions simultaneously. "We're the cheapest AND
the most premium" is not positioning — it's confusion. If you need to serve
different segments with different positions, use different brands or sub-brands.
Step 1: Define the Competitive Frame

Before positioning, clarify:

  • Category: What category does the customer place you in?
  • Competitive set: Who are you compared against? (may differ from who you think your competitors are)
  • Target segment: From STP — whose mind are you positioning in?
Step 2: Craft the Positioning Statement

Use this template:

For [target segment],
[brand] is the [category/competitive frame]
that [point of difference — the ONE thing that sets you apart]
because [reason to believe — proof that you can deliver].

Rules:

  • One point of difference, not a list
  • The POD must be relevant to the target AND different from competitors
  • The reason to believe must be verifiable, not aspirational
Step 3: Build the Perceptual Map

Plot your brand and competitors on a 2D map:

  • Choose two axes that matter most to the target segment (e.g., price vs quality, convenience vs customization)
  • Plot all brands in the competitive set based on customer perception (not your internal view)
  • Identify white space — gaps where no brand is positioned
Step 4: Define Brand Personality

Select 3-5 personality traits using the Aaker framework:

DimensionTraits
SincerityDown-to-earth, honest, wholesome, cheerful
ExcitementDaring, spirited, imaginative, up-to-date
CompetenceReliable, intelligent, successful
SophisticationUpper-class, charming, elegant
RuggednessOutdoorsy, tough, strong
Step 5: Identify Brand Archetype (Optional)

Map the brand to one of 12 Jungian archetypes:

  • Hero, Outlaw, Magician, Innocent, Explorer, Sage, Creator, Ruler, Caregiver, Jester, Lover, Everyman

The archetype guides tone of voice, visual identity, and storytelling.

Examples

Correct Application

Scenario: Positioning for a Taiwanese craft beer brand

Statement: "For adventurous 25-40 urban professionals who seek unique drinking experiences, 島嶼啤酒 is the Taiwanese craft beer that celebrates local ingredients (longan honey, oolong tea, lychee) because we brew exclusively with Taiwan-sourced botanicals in small batches from our Taipei brewery."

Perceptual map (Price vs Local Identity):

BrandPriceLocal Identity
島嶼啤酒HighVery High
台灣啤酒LowMedium
Kirin / AsahiMediumLow (imported)
Jim & Dad'sHighMedium

Brand personality: Excitement (imaginative, spirited) + Sincerity (wholesome). Archetype: Explorer.

Incorrect Application

What went wrong:

  • "We're positioned as premium, affordable, and convenient" → Three points of difference = no clear position. Violates Iron Law: one position per brand.
  • Positioning statement based on CEO's vision without customer research → Positioning is perception, not intention. Violates Iron Law: positioning is in the customer's mind.

Gotchas

  • Positioning ≠ tagline: A tagline is a creative expression of positioning, not the positioning itself. "Just Do It" is a tagline; Nike's positioning is "For serious athletes, Nike is the performance brand that inspires competitive greatness because of its endorsement by world-class athletes and innovative product technology."
  • Perceptual map axes matter enormously: Wrong axes = misleading map. Choose axes from customer research (what dimensions do customers actually use to compare?), not internal metrics.
  • Repositioning is expensive: Changing an established position requires significant investment and consistency over years. Get it right initially when possible.
  • Brand personality must be consistent across all touchpoints: If your personality is "exciting and daring" but your website looks like a bank's, there's a disconnect.
  • Category choice shapes competition: Defining your category defines your competitors. A "healthy snack bar" competes with KIND and Clif. A "meal replacement" competes with Soylent and Huel. Same product, different category, different positioning.
