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.

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 | $0.00044 | $0.01468 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00734 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00294 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00147 |
Grade A, and why
positioning-canvas 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Positioning Canvas
Apply April Dunford's positioning framework from Obviously Awesome. Positioning is upstream of copy, pricing, and GTM -- get it wrong and everything downstream is rework.
When to use
- New product launch, pivot, or rebrand
- Sales calls keep ending with "I'm not sure who this is for"
- Conversion is fine but discovery is hard ("how would you find us?")
- Competitor expanded into your space and your differentiation feels muddy
- Multi-audience products (e.g., internal-tool-turned-SaaS) -- usually need separate positioning per audience
When NOT to use
- You don't have a real product yet and are doing pure hypothesis work -- use a target-customer hypothesis doc instead
- The goal is tactical copywriting (landing page headlines, ad copy) -- positioning must be locked first; then hand to copy
- You already have differentiated, validated positioning that's converting well -- run this again only on trigger (new competitor, rebrand, new market)
Use this instead
- icp-definer -- if you haven't yet defined who the best-fit buyers are, do that first; positioning step 4 (customers who care most) requires an ICP
- gtm-motion-picker -- if the question is how to reach the market, not how to describe the product
- pricing-teardown -- positioning change typically requires a pricing re-check; run after this
The 5-step Dunford framework
Run these in order. Skipping a step or doing them in parallel produces incoherent positioning.
1. Competitive alternatives -- What would customers use if your product didn't exist? Includes spreadsheets, manual processes, the in-house build, doing nothing -- not just direct competitors. Force at least 3 alternatives, ideally including one non-software one.
2. Unique attributes -- What does your product have that the alternatives don't? Capabilities, not benefits. Be specific and falsifiable: "real-time" or "supports SAML" beats "fast" or "secure". List 5-10. If you can't find any, you don't have a position -- you have a feature.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

positioning-canvas is a skill published in the GitHub repository ReachRobin/skills (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 1,468 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
