What it does

Positioning Ideas is an agent skill from phuryn/pm-skills. Brainstorm product positioning ideas differentiated from competitors. Identifies top competitors and generates positioning statements with rationale. Use when developing product positioning, differentiating from competitors, or crafting brand positioning strategy.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 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 Positioning and messaging. 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

  • Developing product positioning
  • Differentiating from competitors
  • Crafting brand positioning strategy

Example prompts

  • “/positioning-ideas”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Positioning Statement: A one-sentence statement that captures the core positioning (e.g., "The [product] is the only [category] designed…
  2. Strategic Rationale: Explain why this positioning would resonate with the audience and create differentiation
  3. Supporting Message: Key supporting messages that reinforce this positioning
  4. Competitive Advantage: What specific advantages enable this positioning claim

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

Positioning Ideas loads about 751 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 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
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~751

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.
