What it does

Swot Analysis is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) for strategic positioning. Use when assessing a new market entry, a strategic pivot, a competitive response, an org restructure, or as input to annual strategic planning.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/swot_template.md`, `references/swot-anti-patterns.md` and `references/swot-framework.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Startup and business strategy. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Assessing a new market entry
  • A strategic pivot
  • A competitive response
  • An org restructure

Example prompts

  • “/swot-analysis”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define the scope
  2. Strengths (with evidence)
  3. Weaknesses (with honesty)
  4. Opportunities (with sizing)
  5. Threats (with severity)
  6. TOWS matrix (cross-cuts)
  7. Run swot_scorer.py

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a698e8. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Swot Analysis loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 846 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
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
~4.7k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SWOT Analysis

A grounded, evidence-backed SWOT — not the bullet-point ceremony most people perform at the start of a planning offsite.

When to use this skill

  • Annual strategic planning input
  • New market entry assessment
  • Pivot conversations
  • Competitive response decisions
  • Org restructure evaluation
  • Pre-board strategic review
  • Pre-fundraise investor narrative grounding

The 2x2

HelpfulHarmful
InternalStrengthsWeaknesses
ExternalOpportunitiesThreats

Internal = within our control (people, IP, ops, brand, capital). External = outside our control (market, competition, regulation, tech shifts).

The single most-common SWOT failure: confusing internal with external.

Clarify First

Before building the SWOT, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

  • Explicit scope/subject — e.g. "entering market X" or "our position vs Competitor X" (a SWOT for "the company" produces four lists pointing in four directions)
  • Evidence per item — the data/quote/benchmark behind each entry (strengths must be facts, not aspirations; a SWOT with no real weaknesses signals bias)
  • Competitor/market reference frame — what you're comparing against (strengths and threats are relative, not absolute)
  • TOWS actions wanted — whether to cross-cut into SO/ST/WO/WT moves (converts the static SWOT into strategy rather than a wall of bullets)

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.

Workflow

Step 1 — Define the scope

A SWOT must have an explicit subject:

  • "Acme entering the European market"
  • "Our enterprise sales motion vs SMB"
  • "Our position vs Competitor X in vertical Y"

A SWOT without scope produces 4 lists of bullets that point in 4 directions.

Step 2 — Strengths (with evidence)

For each strength:

  • What is it specifically?
  • What's the evidence (data, customer quote, benchmark)?
  • How does it compare to competitors?
  • Does the market actually care?

A strength no customer cares about isn't a strength.

Step 3 — Weaknesses (with honesty)

For each weakness:

  • What is it specifically?
  • What's the evidence?
  • Are we fixing it? Why or why not?
  • What's the cost of leaving it?

A SWOT with no real weaknesses signals bias or low candor.

Step 4 — Opportunities (with sizing)

For each opportunity:

  • What's the trigger / shift creating this opportunity?
  • What's the size (TAM/SAM/SOM if quantifiable)?
  • What's the time window?
  • What's our right to win?

"AI is hot" is not an opportunity. "Regulated industries replacing manual GDPR processes — $8B SAM, 36-month window" is.

Step 5 — Threats (with severity)

For each threat:

  • What is it specifically?
  • How likely (1-5)?
  • How severe if realized (1-5)?
  • What can we do to mitigate?
Step 6 — TOWS matrix (cross-cuts)

The most-valuable post-SWOT step:

OpportunitiesThreats
StrengthsSO: leverage strength to capture opportunityST: leverage strength to defend against threat
WeaknessesWO: address weakness to capture opportunityWT: minimize weakness to avoid threat

This converts a static SWOT into strategic actions.

Step 7 — Run swot_scorer.py

Audit for: generic items, missing evidence, internal/external misclassification, no quantification, no TOWS actions, one-sided SWOT.

Decision frameworks

Internal vs external — the test

If the item depends on something we own (people, money, tech, brand, process, IP) → internal.

If the item depends on something we don't own (market, customers, competitors, regulators, technology trends) → external.

Common miscategorizations:

  • "Strong brand recognition in segment X" — internal (we own it)
  • "Customers love our brand" — external (customer behavior)
  • "Strong eng team" — internal
  • "Hard to recruit eng talent" — external
  • "Our cloud bill is high" — internal
  • "Cloud prices rising" — external
When to do a SWOT vs other frameworks
Use SWOTUse other
Broad strategic positioningIndustry analysis → Porter's Five Forces
Multi-stakeholder alignmentMacro environment → PESTLE
Annual planning inputGrowth options → Ansoff Matrix
New market entry overviewBusiness model design → BMC / Lean Canvas

SWOT is breadth. Other frameworks add depth on specific dimensions.

From SWOT to strategy

A SWOT alone isn't a strategy. It's input. Strategy comes from:

  1. SWOT → identifies positioning realities
  2. TOWS → identifies strategic options
  3. Prioritization → which 2-3 options to pursue
  4. Resourcing → what we'll fund + give up
  5. KPIs → how we'll know it worked

Skipping any step produces a wall of analysis without action.

Common engagements

"Run a SWOT for entering market X"
  1. Scope: explicitly "entering market X."
  2. List internal capabilities relevant to that market (Strengths, Weaknesses).
  3. List external factors specific to market X (Opportunities, Threats).
  4. Score evidence + materiality per item.
  5. Run TOWS.
  6. Recommend 2-3 strategic moves.
"Audit our existing SWOT"
  1. Pull current SWOT.
  2. Run swot_scorer.py for generic/ungrounded/miscategorized items.
  3. Surface bias: too many strengths, no real weaknesses, vague opportunities.
  4. Add TOWS if missing.

Anti-patterns to avoid

  • No explicit scope. SWOT for "the company" = SWOT for nothing.
  • Generic items. "Great team, great product, growing market, competitors."
  • Strengths = aspirations. What you wish were true, not what is.
  • No weaknesses. Either bias or low candor.
  • Opportunities = topics, not options. "AI" isn't an opportunity.
  • Threats = abstract anxieties. Quantify likelihood + severity.
  • No TOWS. SWOT without TOWS is just a wall.
  • Internal/external confusion. Common; check every item.
  • SWOT replaces strategy. SWOT is input, not output.
