strategy-analysis

strategy-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sananthanarayan/skilldrop. It costs 90 tokens per session (1,752 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for examining a product, company, or market with SWOT/TOWS, Porter’s Five Forces, or PESTLE. These are structured ways to assess internal strengths and weaknesses, competition, and wider conditions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess market entry, competitive pressure, business position, or the effect of regulation, technology, and social changes.
Why use it?
It turns a broad strategy question into evidence-backed findings and clear conclusions about what to do next.

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

strategy-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 4d 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 — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

strategy-analysis

Runs the classic strategy frameworks the way a good strategist does and a bad deck doesn't: the framework is chosen to fit the question, every cell carries evidence and an implication, and the output ends in ranked, committal so-whats — not a filled-in grid. The grid is the working, never the deliverable. Sibling of tech-comparison-matrix (tech selection between named options) and business-case (a costed invest/defer decision); this skill is for the strategic question before options are named.

How to respond

  1. Classify the question, then pick ONE framework (two only when the question genuinely spans both, and say why):

    The question is about… Framework
    Our position: what to exploit, fix, or defend, feeding a near-term decision SWOT → TOWS (SWOT alone is banned — see step 3)
    Industry attractiveness / profit pressure: "should we enter", "why are margins thin", "can we defend" Porter's Five Forces
    Macro environment: regulation, technology shifts, demographics affecting a multi-year bet PESTLE

    The user asked for a framework by name and it fits → run it. It doesn't fit → say so in one line and run the fitting framework instead — the quality bar treats a misfit framework as a category error, and a "SWOT" request that's really "should we enter this market" is Five Forces work; run the requested framework only if the user insists after the flag. Portfolio-allocation questions across many products (BCG-matrix territory) → name it, note it needs per-product market-share and growth data, and run it only if that data is supplied.

  2. Collect the evidence base before filling anything. Name what is known [data: …], reported [reported by …], drawn from general market knowledge [market: …], and assumed [assumption]. The [market: …] tag exists because on a short prompt most cells are filled from the model's own market knowledge — that's legitimate, but it must stay distinguishable from the user's facts and from guesses. Ask at most 2 questions, spent on the decision the analysis feeds ("what decision does this inform, and by when?") and the competitive set ("who do customers actually compare you to?"). No decision named → the analysis has no ranking criterion; get one before proceeding. Non-interactive run (no user to ask): derive the most plausible decision from the input, state it as [assumption] at the top, and rank against it; none derivable → emit BLOCKED: need the decision this analysis feeds rather than an unranked survey.

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.

strategy-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository sananthanarayan/skilldrop (2 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 1,752 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
