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 | $0.00201 | $0.07419 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00101 | $0.03710 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00040 | $0.01484 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00742 |
Grade A, and why
positioning-map 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 6d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 315 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Positioning Map
Positioning isn't marketing copy — it's a product decision about who you say no to. This skill makes that choice visible by mapping competitors on 5 signal axes, locating the empty space, and forcing you to pick between 3 candidate moves rather than defaulting to the first one that sounds good.
Founders consistently underweight four things on competitor positioning: hero copy is the most-curated surface (so trust it least), pricing reveals who they actually sell to, what they ship reveals what they think matters, and who they hire reveals where they're going next quarter (the leakiest signal of all). Customer logos reveal who they actually catch, which often contradicts who they pitch.
Frameworks this skill draws from
This skill is the operational version of three positioning frameworks, executed against real public data:
- April Dunford — Obviously Awesome (5 components): competitive alternatives, unique attributes, value (and proof), target market characteristics, market category. Dunford's #1 insight: start with competitive alternatives, not with what you do. This skill operationalizes that by always grounding "the empty quadrant" against the actual competitor set, not against an abstract market.
- Geoffrey Moore — Crossing the Chasm (positioning statement template): "For [target customer] who [need], the [product] is a [category] that [benefit]. Unlike [primary alternative], our product [primary differentiation]." This is the format of the deliverable — the one-sentence positioning move.
- Ries & Trout — Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind (mental real-estate): you can only own ONE word/concept in the customer's mind. The "empty quadrant" framing inherits from this: the position you can own is the one nobody else is claiming AND that customers care about.
Adjacent frameworks worth knowing but not directly encoded here: Treacy & Wiersema's three value disciplines (product leadership / operational excellence / customer intimacy — pick one, do the others adequately) and Ulwick's outcome-driven JTBD (positioning aligned to unmet desired outcomes). If the founder uses these in their own thinking, fold them into the axis choices.
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.

positioning-map is a skill published in the GitHub repository anysiteio/agent-skills (19 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 201 tokens to every session and 7,419 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
