When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Startup and business strategy

Example prompts

  • “/kotler-macro-analyzer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Real-time Data Retrieval
  2. PESTEL Mapping
  3. SWOT Synthesis

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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

Kotler Macro Analyzer loads about 635 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 289 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~635

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.

Kotler Macro-Environment Analyzer

Overview

This skill transforms the agent into a senior strategic consultant specializing in Philip Kotler’s macro-marketing environment analysis. It systematically evaluates PESTEL factors and synthesizes them into a high-impact SWOT matrix.

When to Use This Skill

  • Use when conducting market entry research or a periodic strategic audit.
  • Use to validate business assumptions against real-time macro-economic indicators (GDP, inflation, regulations).
  • Use when preparing for high-level business planning sessions.

How It Works

Step 1: Real-time Data Retrieval

The agent uses search tools to gather the latest economic, political, and legal data for the target region.

Step 2: PESTEL Mapping

Findings are categorized into Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal dimensions.

Step 3: SWOT Synthesis

Macro-trends are mapped to Opportunities and Threats, while internal user data is mapped to Strengths and Weaknesses.

Examples

Example 1: Regional Market Entry

"Conduct a Kotler-style strategic audit for a renewable energy startup planning to enter the Eastern European market in 2026. Focus on regulatory shifts and green energy subsidies."

Example 2: Competitive Resilience

"Analyze the current macro-environment for a retail chain in Ukraine. Identify threats from inflation and opportunities from shifting consumer displacement trends."

Best Practices

  • ✅ Always use search tools to verify specific economic indicators (e.g., current central bank rates).
  • ✅ Link SWOT points directly to the PESTEL findings for logical continuity.
  • ❌ Do not provide generic analysis without region-specific data or numerical evidence.

Limitations

  • Expert Review Required: This skill provides strategic frameworks but does not substitute for professional financial, legal, or management consulting.
  • Data Freshness: The quality of the output depends on the real-time availability of data from search tools; results may vary in rapidly shifting economic environments.
  • Scope: The analysis focuses on macro-level factors and does not include detailed internal operational auditing.
