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 | $0.00081 | $0.00672 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00269 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00134 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00067 |
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 2mo 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to positioning-canvas — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Domain Context
This skill implements a proven product management framework. The approach combines best practices from industry leaders and is designed for practical application in day-to-day PM work.
Input Requirements
- Context about your product, feature, or problem
- Relevant data, research, or constraints (recommended but optional)
- Clear articulation of what you're trying to achieve
Positioning Canvas
What It Is
Positioning defines how your product is the best in the world at delivering some value that a well-defined set of customers care a lot about.
The core insight: Positioning is not messaging. It's not your tagline. It's the fundamental strategic decision about how you win in the market — what you compete against, how you're different, what value only you can deliver, and who cares most about that value.
When positioning is weak:
- Prospects don't understand what you are on first contact
- Sales calls require 3+ meetings before "the light comes on"
- You win deals but customers churn because expectations didn't match reality
- Different teams (sales, marketing, product) tell different stories
When positioning is strong:
- It feels obvious — "of course that's what it is"
- Qualified prospects immediately understand why they should care
- Your differentiated value is clear against alternatives
- Everyone in the company tells the same story

When to Use It
Use Positioning Canvas when you need to:
- Define or refine how you compete — who are the real alternatives?
- Articulate differentiated value — why pick you over everything else?
- Identify your best-fit customers — who cares most about your value?
- Choose or validate your market category — what context makes your value obvious?
- Align your team — get sales, marketing, product, and leadership on the same page
- Build a sales pitch — translate positioning into a story that wins deals
- Reposition after market changes — your product evolved, competition shifted, or customers changed
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.
