What it does

Ansoff Matrix is an agent skill from deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills. Map evidence-backed growth options across the Ansoff Matrix with risk-rated sequencing. Use when the question is where the next tranche of growth comes from, and at what risk.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `examples/sample-industrial.md`, `examples/sample.md` and `template.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Product Management skills framework built on battle-tested methods for Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, and AI agents.

When your agent uses it

  • The question is where the next tranche of growth comes from

Example prompts

  • “/ansoff-matrix”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check session for existing evidence (landscape scan, five forces, company intel, VoC). Present
  2. Credit inline context, then ask only the unanswered questions (max 3)
  3. If researching fresh, show the 3-bullet search plan — what you'll search per quadrant
  4. Populate the quadrants and emit the schema below exactly.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b5a524. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Ansoff Matrix loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,043 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k

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

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,043 words (~2,834 tokens).

“Map a company's growth options across the Ansoff Matrix with evidence per quadrant: use or gather evidence → four quadrants with signals → risk-rated sequence → next-step options. The four quadrants — market penetration, market development, product development, diversification —…”
