blue-ocean-strategy

blue-ocean-strategy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from deciqAI/knowledge-skills. It costs 120 tokens per session (2,393 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A business strategy framework for finding less crowded markets instead of competing with similar products on price. It uses four questions: what to remove, reduce, raise, and create.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choosing a market-entry direction, redesigning an offering, and finding potential customers who do not currently buy from the category.
Why use it?
It helps when competitors look alike, prices are falling, and adding more features is not restoring an advantage.

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

blue-ocean-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 10d 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.

Blue Ocean Strategy

Overview

Most competitive strategy assumes industry boundaries are fixed. Blue Ocean Strategy's core claim: that assumption is optional. Kim and Mauborgne studied 150 strategic moves across 30 industries over 130 years — lasting high growth came from reconstructing market boundaries, not competing harder within them.

The mechanism is the ERRC grid (Eliminate, Reduce, Raise, Create): Eliminate+Reduce drive cost below industry average; Raise+Create drive buyer value above it — breaking the differentiation/cost trade-off simultaneously. The critical input is the non-customer lens: blue oceans are found by studying people who refuse the category, not existing customers.

Compose with: porters-five-forces before; disruptive-innovation as complementary lens; pricing-strategy after ERRC; first-mover-advantage for defense window.

When to Use

Apply when: visible industry convergence (products similar, price is primary differentiator, margins eroding); team choosing market entry angle to avoid commoditized competition; product losing pricing power despite feature improvements; a team asks how to avoid competing head-to-head with AI-native incumbents or trillion-dollar platforms on a commoditized general capability (e.g., "everyone's shipping the same AI chatbot — where's the uncontested space?", AI capex arms race, saturated AI adoption); someone asks "how do we stop competing on price?" or "what new market can we create?"

When NOT to use: competitive dimensions fixed by law/safety standards; early-stage startup without sufficient market exposure to identify non-customer patterns; company lacks execution capability for a new value proposition; blue ocean with network-effect protection already exists — use disruptive-innovation.

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.
