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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00086 | $0.02803 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00043 | $0.01401 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00561 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00280 |
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 12d 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 — 250 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Note: This skill is independent analysis and commentary, not a reproduction of the original text. It synthesizes the book's core ideas with modern startup practice, surfaces where frameworks are outdated or incomplete, and integrates perspectives from adjacent disciplines. For the full argument and context, read the original book.
Blue Ocean Strategy
"How to create uncontested market space and make the competition irrelevant." - W. Chan Kim & Renée Mauborgne (2005, expanded 2015)
When to Use
- Stuck in a commoditizing market
- Designing a new category
- Reframing competitive strategy
- Choosing between Porter-style positioning vs category creation
Use Porter when: industry structure is stable, defendable moats matter Use BOS when: you're trying to escape red-ocean dynamics They're complementary, not competing.
Honest Scope (Read First)
- Empirical base: ~150 strategic moves, 30+ industries, 100+ years - chosen by the authors. Correlational, post-hoc, sample-selected.
- The "86% red / 14% blue / 39%/61% profit" headline is suggestive of a pattern, not a measured fact. Authors admit no hit-rate data.
- Many iconic cases later collapsed. Treat the framework as a thinking discipline, not a recipe. Inline decline notes appear with each case below.
- The framework is hard to falsify: when BOS-cited companies fail, the response is "they stopped applying it" or "it wasn't really blue ocean." Use it predictively with care.
- Bratton/NYPD case is contested (broken-windows critiques, Compstat manipulation). Use as illustrative, not history.

The Core Insight
| Red Ocean | Blue Ocean |
|---|---|
| Existing market, defined boundaries | Uncontested space |
| Beat competition | Make competition irrelevant |
| Exploit existing demand | Create and capture new demand |
| Value-cost trade-off | Break value-cost trade-off |
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

blue-ocean-strategy is a skill published in the GitHub repository getagentseal/founder-playbook (570 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 2,803 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
