Triage a competitive or market question into the right intelligence disciplines, cadence, and executing skill.

  • Works in 4 steps: Suspected competitor move — you think… → An artifact to build or refresh —… → A margin or market-structure puzzle —… → …
  • You know something needs researching but not which channel to run
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Input, Key Concepts and Application, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Intel Discipline Advisor is an agent skill from deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills. Triage a competitive or market question into the right intelligence disciplines, cadence, and executing skill. Use when you know something needs researching but not which channel to run.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `examples/conversation-flow-industrial.md`, `examples/conversation-flow.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

  • You know something needs researching but not which channel to run

Example prompts

  • “/intel-discipline-advisor”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Suspected competitor move — you think someone is building, entering, or repositioning
  2. An artifact to build or refresh — TAM/SAM/SOM, battle card, positioning, ICP/personas, pricing analysis
  3. A margin or market-structure puzzle — margins eroding, category shifting, entry decision
  4. Standing watch setup — you want ongoing coverage, not a one-off answer"

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.

    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

Intel Discipline Advisor loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,291 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,291 words (~3,082 tokens).

“Triage a competitive or market question into the right intelligence response: which of the eight collection disciplines to run, on what cadence, feeding which artifact, executed by which skill. The intelligence-collection-disciplines compendium holds everything about every channel; this advisor answers…”
