What it does
The skill compresses how to build wealth without relying on luck into a positioning formula: specific knowledge, accountability and scaling mechanisms, applied to yourself. Specific knowledge is described as something that cannot be trained, feels like play to you and like work to others, and is usually found through curiosity and apprenticeship rather than by following hot industries. Scaling comes from labor, capital, code or media. The skill text is written in Chinese.
The agent lists three to five activities that feel like play to you and cross-checks them with people around you, tests each candidate for uniqueness and scalability, helps define a minimal product to publish under your name within 30 days (an article, a tool or a content series), and revisits the definition of your work each quarter. It is not for resume writing, job applications or execution details once a direction is set, and it flags the author's Silicon Valley, venture-capital viewpoint as a limit.
When your agent uses it
- Unsure which career, side project or freelance direction to pursue
- Worried that AI or younger competitors could replace your work
- Looking for a niche only you can credibly occupy
- Deciding what content or product to launch first under your own name
Example prompts
- “I want a side business but do not know where to start. Help me find my specific knowledge.”
- “How do I make my freelance design work harder to replace?”
- “Plan a 30-day minimum product I could publish to test my positioning.”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 纠结职业/副业/自由职业方向：「我不知道该做什么」「选哪个赛道」
- 担心被替代：「我的工作会不会被 AI/年轻人取代」
- 想提升不可替代性：「怎么建立自己的护城河/独特优势」
- 准备推出个人产品或内容：「做什么内容/产品别人抢不走」
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a28de55. 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
Productize Yourself loads about 708 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 167 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

产品化你自己
R — 原文 (Reading)
“产品化”和“你自己”。“你自己”具有独特性，“产品化”就有杠杆点。“你自己”有责任感，“产品化”有特殊知识。
— 纳瓦尔·拉维坎特, 《纳瓦尔宝典》 第一章·财富
I — 方法论骨架 (Interpretation)
把「如何不靠运气致富」压缩成一个定位公式：特殊知识 + 责任感 + 杠杆 → 产品化你自己。 「你自己」= 不可培训的特殊知识（来自 DNA、成长环境和个人回应的独特组合），它让你没有竞争者； 「产品化」= 用杠杆（人力/资本/代码/媒体）把这份独特规模化，让投入产出脱钩。 判断方向对不对，持续自问两句：这真的是我在投射的自己吗？我在产品化它、规模化它吗？ 特殊知识有四个识别信号：① 不能通过培训获得（否则会被替代）；② 对你像玩、对别人像工作； ③ 通常靠好奇心与学徒制发现，而非热门行业；④ 别人很难和你竞争「做你自己」。
A1 — 书中的应用 (Past Application)
案例 1: 母亲在厨房预言他做生意
- 问题: 作者十五六岁想当天体物理学家，方向与天赋错位
- 方法论的使用: 母亲作为旁观者指出他真正的特殊知识是「做生意」；作者后来回看自己的组合是销售技巧+分析能力+玩技术
- 结论: 特殊知识往往是身边人先看到、你自己不当回事的天然倾向
- 结果: 作者沿着这套组合做风投/创业，而不是当科学家
案例 2: 乔·罗根与新一代媒体富豪
- 问题: 普通人如何不靠资本放大努力
- 方法论的使用: 用代码/媒体（零边际复制成本）把自己的独特内容规模化
- 结论: 独特性+媒体杠杆=新富来源
- 结果: 播客/视频/代码成为可复制资产，睡觉时仍在工作
A2 — 触发场景 (Future Trigger) ★
用户会在什么情境下需要这个 skill?
- 纠结职业/副业/自由职业方向：「我不知道该做什么」「选哪个赛道」
- 担心被替代：「我的工作会不会被 AI/年轻人取代」
- 想提升不可替代性：「怎么建立自己的护城河/独特优势」
- 准备推出个人产品或内容：「做什么内容/产品别人抢不走」
语言信号
- "帮我找找我的特殊知识/独特优势"
- "我不想再做可替代的工作"
- "副业/自媒体/自由职业选什么方向"
- "how to find my moat / special knowledge / what should I do"
与相邻 skill 的区分
- 与
wealth-structure的区别: 本 skill 解决「你是谁、做什么」；wealth-structure 解决「怎么把价值变成资产结构」 - 与
reading-metaskill的区别: 阅读是培养特殊知识的手段；本 skill 是特殊知识本身的使用框架
E — 可执行步骤 (Execution)
盘点特殊知识信号
- 完成标准: 列出 3–5 个「对你像玩、对别人像工作」的事，并问身边人「你觉得我最擅长什么」交叉验证
- 判停条件: 若找到的事可以被培训/被替代，回到步骤 1 继续找
检验独特性 × 可规模化
- 完成标准: 对每个候选回答「我是唯一/少数能做到这个的吗？」与「它能不能被代码/媒体/产品放大？」
定义最小产品并发布
- 完成标准: 30 天内发布一个最小作品（一篇文章/一个工具/一个内容系列），公开署名
按反馈重新定义你的工作
- 完成标准: 每季度重问「我是否做到了世界最好？如果没有，调整『我做什么』的定义」，直到成立
B — 边界 (Boundary) ★
不要在以下情况使用此 skill
- 用户已有明确方向、只需要执行细节（此时应给执行建议而非定位分析）
- 纯求职场景（写简历/投递不是本 skill 职责）
作者在书中警告的失败模式
- 盲目追热点: 热门行业可以培训出替代者；「如果他们能训练你们去做，那么他们接下来也会训练计算机去做」
- 与别人竞争=复制别人: 「通过真实性避开竞争」「不要复制」
作者的盲点 / 时代局限
- 作者是硅谷/风投视角，默认有资本网络和早期入场条件；特殊知识对无资本、无技能起点并不平等
- 「每个人都能找到特殊知识」未被证明；找得到≠市场会定价
容易混淆的邻近方法论
wealth-structure: 那是「怎么把特殊知识变成资产」的下游问题
