Guides marketers through decisions about category creation, category naming, problem ownership, and market positioning strategy; trigger when a user is deciding whether to create a new category, name a category, or differentiate in a crowded market.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Category Creation Strategy ## Overview This skill covers how B2B marketers should approach category creation, category naming, problem ownership, and market positioning strategy—including when to pursue category creation versus competing in existing categories, how to name a category or problem, and how to build consensus around a new market concept. All practices are sourced exclusively from guests on the Exit Five podcast; no outside frameworks or general marketing knowledge have been added. Where guests disagree, those disagreements are surfaced explicitly rather than resolved. --- ## Deciding Whether to Pursue Category Creation Before committing to category creation, make the decision explicitly and with clear eyes about what it requires. **Test whether you actually need a new category.** Ask: is this a genuinely new thing the world has never bought before, or are you searching for separation from existing competitors?

How to install
mdr add the-nam-shub/e5-real-skills/category-creation-strategy@sha256:09bac7248f06872cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2026-04-20, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
