obviously-awesome

obviously-awesome is a skill for Cursor from markmhendrickson/neotoma. It costs 94 tokens per session (4,810 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of neversight_learn_skills.dev_obviously_awesome, MIT.

A product-positioning framework based on April Dunford's Obviously Awesome method. Product positioning explains how customers should understand a product and what alternatives they should compare it with.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides analysis of competitive alternatives, differentiating attributes, customer value, and best-fit customers.
Why use it?
It helps replace vague messaging with a clear view of the customers, alternatives, differences, and value that define a product's position.

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

obviously-awesome 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.

Product Positioning Framework

This skill implements the product positioning methodology from April Dunford's "Obviously Awesome." It provides a structured, repeatable process for defining how your product is the best in the world at delivering something a well-defined set of customers cares a lot about. Positioning is the foundational strategic exercise that determines how customers perceive your product, what they compare it to, and ultimately whether they buy it.

Core Principle

Positioning is not messaging. Positioning is context.

Positioning defines the context within which customers evaluate your product. It determines what category customers place you in, what alternatives they compare you against, which features they pay attention to, and how they judge your value. Get positioning right, and everything downstream — messaging, sales pitches, marketing campaigns, pricing — becomes dramatically easier. Get it wrong, and no amount of clever copywriting or advertising spend will save you. Customers who don't understand what you are will never understand why you matter.

The foundation of great positioning is understanding that customers always evaluate products relative to alternatives. There is no such thing as absolute product perception. A product that seems expensive in one context seems cheap in another. A feature that seems innovative against one set of competitors seems table-stakes against another. Your job is to deliberately choose the context that makes your unique strengths obvious.

Scoring

Goal: 10/10 — Rate the positioning quality of any product on a 0-10 scale based on the following criteria:

Score Description
0-2 No clear positioning. Customers can't explain what the product is or who it's for.
3-4 Vague positioning. Category is unclear, differentiation is weak, target customer is "everyone."
5-6 Partial positioning. Some components are clear but others are missing or inconsistent. Team members describe the product differently.
7-8 Strong positioning. All five components are defined. Team is aligned. Customers generally understand the value.
9-10 Exceptional positioning. Every component reinforces the others. Customers immediately understand the product, why it's different, and why they should care. The positioning creates an "aha" moment.
