At a glance

When the user wants to plan go-to-market strategy, GTM framework, or market entry.

  • Wants to plan go-to-market strategy
  • SKILL.md covers GTM Scenarios, GTM Modes, 90-Day Execution Framework and ICP vs Buyer Persona, plus 7 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • The user mentions GTM

What it does

Gtm Strategy is an agent skill from kostja94/marketing-skills. When the user wants to plan go-to-market strategy, GTM framework, or market entry. Also use when the user mentions "GTM," "go-to-market," "market entry," "new market," "repositioning," "PLG," "sales-led," "product-led," "marketing-led," "ICP," "buyer persona," "GTM motion," or "market expansion." For launch checklist, use product-launch.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Go-to-market strategy. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for Marketing — SEO, Social, Influencer & More. 160+ open-source skills for SEO, content, 40+ page types, paid ads, channels, and strategies. Add project context… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants to plan go-to-market strategy
  • The user mentions GTM
  • Market expansion. For launch checklist
  • Use product-launch

Example prompts

  • “go-to-market,”
  • “market entry,”
  • “new market,”
  • “/gtm-strategy”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8dd89c5. 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

Gtm Strategy loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 738 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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.

Strategies: Go-to-Market

Guides go-to-market (GTM) strategy—the blueprint for launching or repositioning a product that aligns product, marketing, sales, and customer success around reaching and winning target customers. Organizations with a defined GTM process see ~10pp higher launch success rates (63% vs 53%) and ~3× median revenue growth. However, ~72% of sales reps miss quota, often due to execution gaps. Use this skill when planning GTM for product launch, new market entry, repositioning, or feature launch.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

GTM Scenarios

ScenarioScopeUse
Product launchNew product to marketFull GTM; see product-launch for launch execution
New market entryNew geography or segmentFull GTM; different buying behaviors, competitors, regulations
RepositioningShift who you serve, what you solveMessaging, ICP, channel alignment; not just rebrand
Feature launchNew capability in existing productTiered by impact; T1 (revenue) = full planning; T2/T3 = lighter

GTM vs product launch: GTM is the strategy; product launch is the execution phase. GTM applies to multiple scenarios—not just new products.

GTM Modes

ModeWhen to UseACVBuyer
Product-led (PLG)Value in minutes; self-evaluate; simple adoption<$10KBuyer = end user
Sales-led (SLG)Multi-stakeholder; complex procurement; implementation>$25KEnterprise; negotiation
Marketing-led (MLG)Content, SEO, paid drive awareness; market educationVariesDemand gen focus
HybridPLG for acquisition; sales for expansionCommonSelf-serve → sales handoff

Decision factors: ACV, product complexity, buyer profile, how customers want to buy. Target LTV:CAC ≥3:1; CAC payback <12 months.

90-Day Execution Framework

PhaseWeeksFocus
Market analysis1–3Validate demand; competitive landscape; TAM; buying signals
Strategy design4–6ICP, personas; positioning; pricing; GTM mode; channels
Execution build7–9Messaging, content, sales playbook; tech stack
Launch & iterate10–12Go live; measure; iterate

Key: Connect plan to real buying activity within 90 days—not disconnected strategy documents.

ICP vs Buyer Persona

TypeLevelDefines
ICPCompanyWhich organizations deliver best unit economics; firmographics (industry, size, revenue), technographics, problem intensity
Buyer personaIndividualDecision-makers within target companies; roles, goals, pain points, objections, preferred channels

ICP impact: Companies with clearly defined ICPs see higher conversion rates and lower CAC. Include negative profiles (explicit disqualifiers) to protect pipeline quality.

Market Analysis

ElementPurpose
TAMTotal addressable market; named account lists; primary TAM, serviceable TAM, accounts with buying signals
Competitive landscapeCustomer bases, strengths, weaknesses, positioning claims
Buying patternsReplace assumptions with data; customer pain points; decision criteria

Enterprise / High-ACV Challenges

ChallengeMitigation
CustomizationProduct modularity; professional services; clear scope
Data security / private deploymentOn-prem or private cloud; compliance; security certifications
Procurement cyclesMulti-stakeholder alignment; champion building; long sales cycles
Buy vs SaaSTotal cost of ownership; flexibility; ongoing value

Use: When GTM targets enterprise or high-ACV—expect longer cycles, procurement, and security requirements.

New Market Entry

~70% of international market entries fail within two years—often from overestimating demand, underestimating execution, spreading resources thin.

Entry modelTrade-off
Organic expansionHigh control; slower; capital-intensive
Strategic partnershipsFaster access; shared risk; reduced control
M&A / AcquisitionImmediate presence; high integration risk
Asset-light (EOR, outsourcing)Fastest; minimal upfront; market testing
Pilot testingLowest commitment; validation

Critical: Domestic playbook won't transfer. Buying behaviors vary (self-service US vs consultation-heavy Europe vs relationship-driven APAC); competitive landscapes shift; regulatory complexity multiplies (GDPR, data localization).

Repositioning

Repositioning = Strategic shift in who you serve, what problem you solve, where you play. Rebranding = Visual/verbal expression (logo, voice). Repositioning ≠ rebrand.

When to repositionAvoid
Moving upmarket (SMB → enterprise)Quick fix for missed quarters
New geography with different dynamicsLeadership boredom
ICP fundamentally changed
Major pivot, launch, or acquisition

Success factors: Research-driven (customer discovery, market analysis); cross-functional alignment (sales, marketing, product, clinical); sharp differentiation.

Cross-Functional Alignment

  • RACI: Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed—clarify roles across teams
  • Shared timelines, tools, accountability
  • Consistent messaging across all channels

Output Format

  • Scenario (product launch, new market, repositioning, feature)
  • GTM mode (PLG/SLG/MLG/Hybrid) recommendation
  • 90-day phase plan
  • ICP and persona (or the relevant Contextus audience module)
  • Market analysis checklist
  • Launch execution → see product-launch
  • product-launch: Launch execution; channels, timeline, checklist; implements GTM for product launch
  • pmf-strategy: Validate PMF before scaling GTM
  • cold-start-strategy: First users; differs from full GTM (0→1 vs commercialization)
  • rebranding-strategy: Domain change, 301, announcement; when repositioning includes rebrand
  • localization-strategy: New market entry; i18n, multilingual
  • paid-ads-strategy: Ad channel for GTM
  • website-structure: Pages needed for GTM
  • branding: Positioning, differentiation; GTM messaging foundation
