What it does

Eighty Twenty Market Selection is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Find hyper-responsive buyers and disqualify weak markets using 80/20 Sales and Marketing. Use when choosing a target segment, validating demand, screening prospects, finding urgent buyer problems, or deciding whether a market is worth sales and marketing effort.

The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Choosing a target segment
  • Validating demand
  • Screening prospects
  • Finding urgent buyer problems

Example prompts

  • “/eighty-twenty-market-selection”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define The Market Choice
  2. Find Responsiveness Signals
  3. Disqualify Weak Segments
  4. Pick The Testing Move

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3e1456a. 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.

  • Compatibility

    Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Eighty Twenty Market Selection loads about 840 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 319 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~840

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.

80/20 Market Selection

Use this skill to identify the small slice of a market most likely to respond, buy, and produce disproportionate value. It is based on 80/20 Sales and Marketing by Perry Marshall.

Source Traceability

Primary source: 80/20 Sales and Marketing, chapters 2, 3, 20, and 21.

  • Chapter 2 introduces response-triggered market testing.
  • Chapter 3 applies 80/20 to common sales frustrations.
  • Chapter 20 covers polarized, highly responsive markets.
  • Chapter 21 covers fast market research using buyer language and unanswered questions.

Workflow

1. Define The Market Choice

Capture:

  • Product or offer.
  • Candidate segment.
  • Buyer role.
  • Urgent problem.
  • Current alternative.
  • Proposed proof of responsiveness.

If the segment is broad, split it into narrower groups before judging it.

2. Find Responsiveness Signals

Look for proof that buyers already move:

  • Search queries for the problem.
  • Social posts, forums, reviews, or communities using emotional buyer language.
  • Paid offers, competitors, agencies, consultants, or tools already serving the need.
  • Budget, compliance pressure, deadlines, risk, or loss tied to inaction.
  • Strong positive or negative reactions, not mild approval.

Do not confuse a logical problem with a responsive market. The question is whether buyers act.

3. Disqualify Weak Segments

Reject or downgrade segments when:

  • They lack money or authority.
  • The pain is not urgent.
  • They do not believe the offer category.
  • They cannot say yes without many blockers.
  • The solution does not fit their current plans.
  • Buyer language is vague or borrowed from the seller.
4. Pick The Testing Move

Choose the smallest action that reveals responsiveness:

  • Landing page or offer smoke test.
  • Direct outreach to a narrow list.
  • Paid search or paid social micro-test.
  • Community/listening sprint.
  • Interview batch with problem-language capture.
  • Waitlist, application, or hand-raise mechanism.

Quality Bar

  • Do not recommend a broad market without narrowing it.
  • Do not treat polite interest as buyer responsiveness.
  • Use buyer language, not seller language.
  • Include explicit disqualifiers before recommending a test.
  • Prefer observable action over stated preference.
