Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00072 | $0.02905 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.01452 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00581 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00291 |
Grade A, and why
7-strata-strategy scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

7 Strata of Strategy 七层战略框架
R — 原文 (Reading)
"The 7 Strata of Strategy includes: 1. Words You Own (Mindshare) 2. Sandbox and Brand Promises 3. Brand Promise Guarantee 4. One-PHRASE Strategy 5. Differentiating Activities 6. X-Factor (10x-100x underlying advantage) 7. Profit per X and BHAG."
— Verne Harnish, Scaling Up, 第7章
I — 方法论骨架 (Interpretation)
7 Strata of Strategy是一套针对Growth Firm设计的战略框架，集成了Porter/Mintzberg/Collins等大师理论，但专为中型企业设计。
核心思想： 战略不是"我们做什么"，而是"我们在谁的心智中是谁"。7 Strata帮助你从外而内思考：先占据某个词（第一层），再围绕这个词构建7层战略护城河。
七层从浅到深：
L1. Words You Own（占据心智） 你希望在客户心智中占据哪个词？不是"我们做什么"，而是"当他们想到X时，他们第一个想到的是你"。例子：Google="搜索"，Volvo="安全"，西南航空="有趣"。
L2. Sandbox & Brand Promises（客户+承诺） 你的核心客户是谁（Juicy Red Customer）？你对他们的三个品牌承诺是什么？用什么KPI追踪你是否兑现了这些承诺？例子：西南航空承诺"低价、密集航班、有趣体验"。
L3. Brand Promise Guarantee（承诺保证） 如果你的承诺没兑现，你给客户什么保证？一个有意义的保证让你在客户心中与众不同。例子：Oracle说"如果性能不达标，赔偿$10M"。
L4. One-PHRASE Strategy（一句话战略） 用一句话说清楚你的战略，通常这个话会惹恼一部分客户。例子：Apple="封闭系统"（因此性能更好但不够开放）。
L5. Differentiating Activities（差异化活动） 你做的事和竞争对手不同。哈佛Porter说差异化来自于你选择的"少量活动"。例子：IKEA="自己组装"是差异化活动，不是成本领先。
L6. X-Factor（10-100倍优势） 这是最深的护城河——你有一个比所有竞争对手强10-100倍的底层优势。这个优势本身会消灭竞争。例子：Outback的Bloomin' Onion创造了$20亿收入，无法复制。
L7. Profit per X & BHAG（经济引擎+长期目标） 是什么经济驱动引擎让你的Profit不断提升？配合BHAG作为10-25年的方向锚点。
与其他战略框架的区别： 不像Porter的"成本领先/差异化"二分法，7 Strata提供了可操作的7个检查维度。不是选战略类型，而是构建战略层次。
A1 — 书中的应用 (Past Application)
案例1: BuildDirect的7 Strata实践
- 问题: 2003年创立的建材电商如何在巨头（Home Depot）中找到位置？
- 方法论的使用:
- L1: 占据"建材DIY教育"这个词
- L2: 目标客户是"Debby the Do-It-Herself"——想要自己装修但缺乏知识的女性
- L3: 提供无偏见的建材内容（而非卖自家产品）
- L5: 不打价格战，通过内容SEO占据搜索
- L6: 10x优势是"无偏见内容+价格透明"，对手难以复制
- 结论: 所有战略都围绕"赋能消费者自己做出好决定"
- 结果: 年度翻倍增长，2014年运行率达$2亿
案例2: BIC的Core Competency边界
- 问题: BIC最初只做便宜的一次性笔，后来扩张到打火机、剃须刀
- 方法论的使用: BIC把自己的核心能力定义为"廉价一次性塑料产品"而非"制笔"
- 结论: 这个定义让BIC能扩张到多个品类且保持竞争力
- 结果: BIC成为$20亿市值的公司
案例3: Outback的X-Factor
- 问题: Outback如何在红海餐饮市场建立护城河？
- 方法论的使用: Outback的X-Factor是其招牌产品Bloomin' Onion——这道菜本身成为无法复制的护城河
- 结论: 菜品差异化（而非餐厅装修或服务）成为最深的护城河
- 结果: Bloomin' Onion单个产品创造$20亿收入
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
