momentum-and-form

momentum-and-form is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from deciqAI/knowledge-skills. It costs 124 tokens per session (2,065 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A strategy framework that separates a company's existing assets, such as capital or distribution, from the market forces and timing that turn those assets into results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess competitive setbacks, market entry, growth momentum, structural advantages, and strategies that rely too heavily on individual effort.
Why use it?
It helps explain why a company with a better product or more resources can still lose to a smaller or newer competitor.

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

momentum-and-form 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.

Momentum and Form

Overview

Competitive advantage is two distinct things, not one: form (形, xíng) — the structural stock built before any contest (capital, distribution, brand, product, org capability) — and momentum (势, shì) — the configurational force that converts form into outcome (timing, terrain, market direction). Most strategic failures trace to conflating them. Composed from Sun Tzu's Art of War, Chapters 4–5, c. 5th century BCE.

Composes with signaling-games, feedback-loops, s-curve-technology-adoption, and inversion.

When to Use

  • Strong form but losing share to a less-capitalized competitor
  • Growth momentum but limited structural assets — extend momentum or build form?
  • Evaluating a new venture or market entry for form-momentum fit
  • Strategy discussion reduces to a single "moat" question
  • Proposed strategy depends on heroic individual performance
  • Someone says: "we have the better product, why aren't we winning?" / "they're growing despite less capital" / "we should hire harder"

When NOT to use: regulated industry where form is decisive and momentum is uniform; purely tactical decision; cooperative/ethical context where "winning configurationally" is the wrong frame.

Coaching Novices (Adaptive Front Door)

  • Engine mode: user has a concrete case → run The Process directly.
  • Coach mode: user unfamiliar or no concrete case → guide step by step.

In Coach mode, respond one step at a time. Each [WAIT] is a hard stop — output only that step's question, then stop.

  1. What-it-is: competitive advantage has two layers — what you've built (form) and how the configuration is working in your favor right now (momentum). Most strategic failures mistake one for the other.
  2. Check fit against When to Use / When NOT to use. Uniform-momentum or tactical? Point elsewhere.
  3. Elicit the real situation — a concrete competitive case. Don't run on hypotheticals.

[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]

  1. Run The Process one layer at a time: form first, then momentum, then the gap.

[WAIT — do not advance until user responds]

  1. Close by naming the configurational fix; explicitly reject "work harder" as the move.

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.
