platform-strategy

platform-strategy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cnfeat/top-pm-skills. It costs 42 tokens per session (852 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for planning businesses built around platforms, such as marketplaces, ecosystems, application programming interfaces (APIs), or developer tools. It uses frameworks about participants, network effects, growth stages, trust, and governance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shape marketplace or API strategies, assess how participants create value for each other, plan platform growth, and design rules for platform users.
Why use it?
It helps make platform decisions systematically when different groups depend on one another and the rules of participation affect the product.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

platform-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 11d 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.

Platform Strategy

Help the user design and execute platform business strategies using frameworks from 24 product leaders who have built and scaled platforms.

How to Help

When the user asks for help with platform strategy:

  1. Understand the platform type - Clarify whether they're building a marketplace, API platform, ecosystem, or developer platform
  2. Identify the network effects - Help them understand which sides of the platform create value for each other
  3. Assess the lifecycle stage - Determine if they're in the moat-building, opening, or closing phase
  4. Design for trust and governance - Help them think through the rules that will govern platform participants

Core Principles

Treat internal platforms as products

Camille Fournier: "Platform engineering is not just maintaining cloud infrastructure... platforms are products, ultimately. You should be thinking about how do I create coherent offerings that make this company more productive?" Internal platforms need dedicated product management and focus on user (developer) productivity, not just technical elegance.

Understand the four-stage platform lifecycle

Brian Balfour: "The four steps are essentially, one is I call a Step Zero. It's the conditions of the market have been met. Step One is about a moat, Step Two is about a platform opening, and Step Three is about the platform closing for control and monetization." Platforms follow a predictable lifecycle from market consensus to closing for monetization.

Reduce cognitive load through clear interfaces

Jeremy Henrickson: "The more you can bake into a clear platform, it reduces the decision-making complexity for everyone who's working on the domain part of the problem." A well-defined platform with clear interfaces simplifies product development by reducing the cognitive load on individual teams.

Find compounding dynamics

Alex Komoroske: "Anything that is shaped like an ecosystem that has some kind of network effect... you have to know what you're looking for and find the dynamics of a thing that if it worked would work at an accelerating rate." Platform success comes from identifying "gardening" opportunities - projects with inherent compounding loops that grow on their own.

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.
