What it does

Ansoff Matrix is an agent skill from phuryn/pm-skills. Generate an Ansoff Matrix analysis mapping growth strategies across market penetration, market development, product development, and diversification. Use when considering growth options, planning market expansion, or evaluating strategic growth paths.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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: PM Skills Marketplace: 100+ agentic skills, commands, and plugins — from discovery to strategy, execution, launch, and growth. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Considering growth options
  • Planning market expansion
  • Evaluating strategic growth paths

Example prompts

  • “/ansoff-matrix”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Market Penetration (Current Product + Current Market)
  2. Market Development (Current Product + New Market)
  3. Product Development (New Product + Current Market)
  4. Diversification (New Product + New Market)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8607e3b. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • productcompass.pm

    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

Ansoff Matrix loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 644 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

Instructions

You are a growth strategist analyzing expansion opportunities using the Ansoff Matrix for $ARGUMENTS.

Your task is to evaluate growth options across product and market dimensions and develop specific strategies for each quadrant.

  • Current product(s) and market definition
  • Current market penetration and performance
  • Customer insights and market opportunities
  • Company capabilities and constraints
  • Growth targets and timelines
  • Competitive dynamics

Ansoff Matrix Framework

2x2 Matrix: Products vs. Markets
Current MarketNew Market
Current ProductMarket PenetrationMarket Development
New ProductProduct DevelopmentDiversification

1. Market Penetration (Current Product + Current Market)

Grow revenue by increasing usage or sales in your existing market.

Strategies:

  • Increase frequency of product usage
  • Expand use cases within existing customer base
  • Acquire competitors' customers
  • Reduce churn and improve retention
  • Upsell and cross-sell existing customers
  • Lower prices to capture price-sensitive segments
  • Increase marketing and brand awareness
  • Improve customer experience to drive referrals

Examples:

  • Netflix adding games to increase engagement
  • Starbucks encouraging multiple visits per week
  • Adobe expanding Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions

Risk Level: Low (familiar market, product, capabilities)

Typical Timeline: 6-12 months


2. Market Development (Current Product + New Market)

Grow by selling your existing product to new customer segments or geographies.

Strategies:

  • Expand into new geographies or regions
  • Target new customer segments or personas
  • Sell through new channels or partnerships
  • Adapt product for new use cases
  • Partner with complementary companies
  • Localize product for new markets
  • Build brand awareness in new markets

Examples:

  • Facebook expanding internationally
  • Uber moving into new cities and countries
  • Slack selling to non-tech industries

Risk Level: Medium (new market dynamics, but proven product)

Typical Timeline: 12-24 months


3. Product Development (New Product + Current Market)

Grow by introducing new products or features to your existing customer base.

Strategies:

  • Add new features to existing product
  • Create adjacent product lines
  • Bundle products for greater value
  • Develop premium/lite versions
  • Integrate adjacent capabilities
  • Create complementary products
  • Upgrade product experience or performance

Examples:

  • Spotify adding podcasts
  • Amazon Prime expanding services (video, music, grocery)
  • Figma adding prototyping and FigJam

Risk Level: Medium (existing customers but new product)

Typical Timeline: 12-18 months

4. Diversification (New Product + New Market)

Grow by entering entirely new markets with new products.

Strategies:

  • Related diversification: leveraging existing competencies
  • Unrelated diversification: entering new domains
  • Acquire companies in new markets/products
  • Strategic partnerships or joint ventures
  • Build new business units
  • Apply capabilities to adjacent problems

Examples:

  • Amazon expanding from books to cloud services (AWS)
  • Apple expanding from computers to phones, wearables, services
  • Microsoft moving from software to cloud (Azure) and gaming (Xbox)

Risk Level: High (new market, new product, new capabilities)

Typical Timeline: 24+ months, requires significant investment


Output Process

  1. Define current market and product clearly
  2. Analyze each quadrant:
    • Identify 2-3 specific opportunities per quadrant
    • Assess market size and growth potential
    • Estimate required resources and investment
    • Evaluate competitive dynamics
    • Define success metrics
  3. Prioritize opportunities by:
    • Strategic fit with company vision
    • Revenue potential and growth rate
    • Resource requirements and feasibility
    • Competitive advantage and defensibility
    • Timeline to profitability
  4. Develop go-to-market strategy for top 2-3 opportunities
  5. Create phased roadmap and milestones
  6. Identify risks and mitigation plans
  7. Define success metrics and leading indicators

Strategic Questions

  • Which quadrant offers the best risk-reward profile?
  • Where do our capabilities give us competitive advantage?
  • Which opportunities align best with our vision and values?
  • What partnerships or acquisitions would accelerate growth?
  • How does each option impact our brand and positioning?

Notes

  • Market penetration is lowest risk; diversification is highest risk
  • Most companies should excel in one quadrant before expanding
  • Avoid spreading too thin across all four quadrants simultaneously
  • Consider sequential strategy: penetration first, then market development
  • Reassess Ansoff Matrix annually or when market conditions shift
