category-strategy

category-strategy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from imMamdouhaboammar/marketing-council-pack. It costs 37 tokens per session (605 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A strategy workflow for deciding how an offer should be described, categorized, and positioned in its market.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when defining a category, framing a market, comparing competitive positions, or choosing and measuring a primary market strategy.
Why use it?
It helps clarify which market category and competitive context best fit the available evidence, while recording assumptions and what could change the decision.

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

category-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 7d 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.

Category Strategy

Job

Decide category frame, maturity response, entry points, and demand creation posture

Own this request only when category frame is the clear decision boundary. If ownership is ambiguous or several functions compete, route to marketing-council. If the user explicitly asks for dependent work across functions, use ../../scripts/dynamic_router.py to build a bounded DAG.

Operating contract

  1. Read references/skill-spec.json first for activation, invariants, workflow freedom, evidence rules, handoffs, and completion conditions.
  2. Use references/decision-model.md when framing or challenging the decision.
  3. Check references/failure-modes.md before finalizing a recommendation.
  4. Render the response against references/output-contract.md.
  5. Use packaged shared references or current external research only when they are load-bearing. Never present inference as evidence.

Evidence discipline

Classify material claims as fact, inference, assumption, or unknown. Prefer supplied primary evidence. Verify current platform, policy, product, pricing, or market claims when freshness affects the recommendation. Do not fabricate research, tool calls, metrics, customer language, or causal proof.

Routing

  • Focused request: stay inside this Skill.
  • Ambiguous or cross-functional ownership: hand to marketing-council.
  • Explicit dependency chain: use ../../scripts/dynamic_router.py.
  • After Skill ownership is known, theory/agent selection may use ../../scripts/neural_router.py; neural nodes never replace Skill routing.

Execution connections

  • Primary specialist: ../../agents/market-architect.md
  • Skeptical counterweight: ../../agents/marketing-skeptic.md
  • Domain challenge gate: ../../hooks/category-maturity-check.md
  • Evidence gate: ../../hooks/evidence-gate.md
  • Keep these as decision inputs, not automatic authority. The Skill owns the final evidence-bound synthesis.

Neural connections

  • Owning Skill: category-strategy
  • Decision boundary: category frame
  • Neural graph: ../../neural/graph.json
  • Neural router: ../../scripts/neural_router.py
  • Theory and specialist selection happens only after Skill ownership; neural nodes never replace Skill routing.
  • Use the local references/skill-spec.json evidence policy and invariants to reject neural recommendations that are unsupported by the request evidence.

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.
