pestel-analysis

pestel-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from getcrew44/crew44. It costs 36 tokens per session (2,870 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An analysis of six outside forces that can affect a product or project: political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when assessing market changes, planning strategy, considering a new market, or reviewing product direction.
Why use it?
It helps teams notice external risks and opportunities that are easy to miss when looking only at internal plans.

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

pestel-analysis 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 5d 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 — 377 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Conduct a systematic analysis of macro-environmental factors—Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal—that could impact your product or project. Use this to identify external opportunities and threats, inform strategic planning, assess market entry risks, and make data-driven decisions about product direction in the context of broader forces beyond your control.

This is not internal analysis—it's outward-facing assessment of the big-picture forces shaping your product's environment.

Key Concepts

The PESTEL Framework

Originating from Francis Joseph Aguilar's 1967 PEST analysis, PESTEL extends the framework to six categories:

  1. Political: Government policies, stability, trade regulations, taxation
  2. Economic: Growth rates, inflation, exchange rates, consumer spending
  3. Social: Demographics, cultural trends, lifestyle changes, consumer attitudes
  4. Technological: Advancements, R&D, automation, digital transformation
  5. Environmental: Climate change, sustainability, resource scarcity, regulations
  6. Legal: Compliance, IP rights, employment laws, health/safety regulations

Why This Works

  • Comprehensive: Covers all major external forces affecting your product
  • Proactive: Identifies threats and opportunities before they become critical
  • Strategic: Informs long-term planning, not just tactical decisions
  • Risk management: Highlights vulnerabilities in your product strategy

Anti-Patterns (What This Is NOT)

  • Not competitive analysis: PESTEL looks at macro factors, not competitors
  • Not internal analysis: Focuses on external environment, not your company's strengths/weaknesses
  • Not static: Macro environment changes—reassess regularly

When to Use This

  • Entering a new market or geography
  • Strategic planning (annual roadmapping, 3-5 year planning)
  • Assessing product viability in a changing environment
  • Risk assessment for new product initiatives
  • Pitching to execs or investors (shows environmental awareness)

Changes

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.
