Analyze competitors using Porter's four-component model.
When you need to understand a competitor's strategy, capabilities, and likely moves.
Porter's four components:
| Component | Questions |
|---|---|
| Objectives | What are they trying to achieve? (growth, profit, share, positioning) |
| Current Strategy | How are they competing? (segments, pricing, channels, roadmap) |
| Assumptions | What do they believe about the market, themselves, and rivals? |
| Capabilities | What can they actually do? (resources, competencies, gaps) |
Based on the four components:
Do not use this skill when the request is unrelated, low-stakes, or better handled by a simpler direct response.
Surface and categorize assumptions underlying product strategy. Use early in development to document what you're betting on.
Prioritize assumptions by risk and importance. Use after assumption mapping to decide what to test first.
Sync Jira issues with local tasks. Use during daily planning or when user asks about Jira issues.
Design backend architecture for implementation with API contracts, data model changes, service boundaries, security, and observability.
Turn ideas into designs through collaborative dialogue. Use before any creative work - features, components, or modifications.
Generate rigorous stakeholder challenge questions for proposal or meeting preparation.
