When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Product strategy
  • Tasks that involve Positioning and messaging

Example prompts

  • “/osterwalder-canvas-architect”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Core Value Proposition & Customer Lock
  2. Structural Design
  3. Financial & Consistency Check

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

Osterwalder Canvas Architect loads about 647 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 301 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~647

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.

Osterwalder Business Model Canvas Architect

Overview

A specialized architectural tool for designing and auditing business models using Alexander Osterwalder’s 9-block framework. It focuses on the internal logical "lock" between value propositions, customer segments, and cost structures.

When to Use This Skill

  • Use when designing a new business architecture from scratch.
  • Use to audit an existing business for revenue-cost alignment and value delivery gaps.
  • Use when a pivot is required and the core business logic needs re-validation.

How It Works

Step 1: Core Value Proposition & Customer Lock

The agent iteratively defines the Value Proposition and Customer Segments to ensure they are logically aligned.

Step 2: Structural Design

The agent builds out the Channels, Relationships, Key Activities, Resources, and Partners.

Step 3: Financial & Consistency Check

Final validation to ensure every activity is accounted for in the Cost Structure and revenue streams align with customer segments.

Examples

Example 1: Subscription-based SaaS (Runnable)

"Draft a Business Model Canvas for an AI-powered agri-tech platform that provides soil analysis for large-scale farmers on a subscription basis. Focus on how the Key Resources (IoT/AI) drive the Cost Structure."

Example 2: Premium Retail Pivot

"Analyze the consistency of a direct-to-consumer organic dairy brand. Ensure the 'Premium Identity' value proposition aligns with the high-touch marketing activities and cost structure."

Best Practices

  • ✅ Prioritize the Value Proposition / Customer Segment lock before filling other blocks.
  • ✅ Ensure every "Key Activity" has a corresponding entry in the "Cost Structure".
  • ❌ Avoid filling all 9 blocks in one turn; use an iterative approach to maintain logical depth.

Limitations

  • Advisory Only: This tool facilitates structural drafting but does not validate market demand or the actual financial viability of the model.
  • Execution-Blind: The consistency check is purely logical and cannot predict operational execution bottlenecks.
  • Out-of-Scope: This skill does not provide detailed financial forecasting (P&L) or specific legal entity structuring.
