pivot

pivot is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CymChad/book-skill-generator. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,573 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Lean Startup decision guide for changing a product's direction when data shows that its main assumption is wrong. This change of direction is called a pivot.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify signals for a pivot, choose a new customer group, value, channel, business model, platform, or technology direction, and plan milestones for testing it.
Why use it?
It helps teams respond to weak growth, falling retention, low conversion, or changing market needs before more resources are spent on the wrong path.

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

pivot 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.

转型 (Pivot)

当数据证明假设错误时,果断调整方向。知道错了马上改,再大的代价都是最小的代价。

核心理念

快速转型,降低损失。 精益创业鼓励创业者在面对市场反馈时,既要灵活适应,也要有坚持的勇气。转型不是失败,而是基于学习的战略调整。

适用场景

  • 数据证明产品方向不对
  • 用户增长停滞
  • 核心假设不成立
  • 需要调整商业模式
  • 面临转型还是坚持的决策

执行步骤

步骤 1: 识别转型信号

什么时候需要转型:

  1. 数据信号

    • 用户增长停滞
    • 留存率持续下降
    • 转化率远低于预期
    • 无法推动增长引擎
  2. 市场信号

    • 用户不关心你的产品
    • 竞争对手表现更好
    • 市场需求发生变化
  3. 团队信号

    • 团队士气低落
    • 无法找到产品市场匹配
    • 创新核算指标持续恶化

关键问题:

  • 如果继续当前方向,能否实现愿景?
  • 是否还有优化空间?
  • 还是根本假设有问题?

步骤 2: 选择转型类型

常见的转型类型:

  1. 客户细分转型 (Customer Segment Pivot)

    • 改变目标用户群体
    • 产品不变,用户改变
    • 案例:YouTube 最初是视频交友网站,后转型为视频分享平台
  2. 价值主张转型 (Value Proposition Pivot)

    • 改变产品提供的价值
    • 用户不变,产品改变
    • 案例:Groupon 最初是团购平台,后转型为优惠券服务
  3. 渠道转型 (Channel Pivot)

    • 改变产品分发渠道
    • 产品不变,渠道改变
    • 案例:从线下销售转为线上销售
  4. 商业模式转型 (Business Model Pivot)

    • 改变盈利模式
    • 案例:从免费增值转为订阅制
  5. 平台转型 (Platform Pivot)

    • 从应用转为平台,或反之
    • 案例:从单一产品转为生态系统
  6. 技术转型 (Technology Pivot)

    • 用新技术实现相同价值
    • 案例:从传统技术栈转为云原生

步骤 3: 设计转型方案

制定转型计划:

  1. 明确新方向

    • 新的核心假设是什么?
    • 新的目标用户是谁?
    • 新的价值主张是什么?
  2. 评估资源需求

    • 需要多少时间?
    • 需要多少资金?
    • 需要哪些人员?
  3. 制定转型路线图

    • 第一阶段:验证新假设
    • 第二阶段:开发新 MVP
    • 第三阶段:测量和学习
  4. 设定转型里程碑

    • 什么算转型成功?
    • 什么算转型失败?
    • 何时评估转型效果?

步骤 4: 执行转型

快速行动:

  1. 沟通转型决策

    • 向团队解释原因
    • 获得团队支持
    • 明确新方向
  2. 保留有价值的部分

    • 哪些功能可以保留?
    • 哪些资源可以复用?
    • 哪些认知可以应用?
  3. 快速验证新假设

    • 开发新 MVP
    • 推向市场
    • 收集数据
  4. 监控转型进展

    • 跟踪关键指标
    • 定期评估效果
    • 及时调整

步骤 5: 评估转型效果

判断转型是否成功:

  • 新假设是否成立?
  • 用户增长是否恢复?
  • 关键指标是否改善?
  • 团队士气是否提升?

决策:

  • 成功:继续新方向
  • 失败:再次转型或放弃
