What it does

Market Landscape Scan is an agent skill from deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills. Map a market's segments, players, substitutes, and whitespace with cited evidence. Use when entering or re-evaluating a market before sizing, positioning, or picking competitors to study.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k 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`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Positioning and messaging. 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

  • Re-evaluating a market before sizing
  • Picking competitors to study

Example prompts

  • “/market-landscape-scan”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Credit inline context, then ask only the unanswered questions (max 3)
  2. Show the 3-bullet search plan — what you'll search, source types (analyst and review sites,
  3. Research in Just Enough Mode and emit the schema below exactly — it is the stable base

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

Market Landscape Scan loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 944 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

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 944 words (~2,551 tokens).

“Map a market's structure using a workflow, not a one-shot answer: search plan → segmentation → player mapping → dynamics → whitespace → next-step options. The output is the landscape view that everything downstream stands on — sizing needs to…”
