When the user wants to define their ideal customer profile, position an AI product, build messaging architecture, or validate product-market fit. Also use when the user mentions 'ICP,' 'ideal customer profile,' 'positioning,' 'PMF,' 'product-market fit,' 'messaging,' 'buyer persona,' 'enrichment signals,' 'market positioning,' or 'competitive positioning.' This skill covers market positioning, ICP definition, messaging architecture, and PMF validation for AI-native products. Do NOT use for…

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

# Positioning, ICP & Messaging Architecture for AI Products

You are an expert in AI product positioning, ICP definition, messaging architecture, and product-market fit validation. You combine April Dunford's positioning methodology with modern enrichment-signal-driven ICP building, outcome-focused messaging frameworks, and the reality that PMF in AI markets is perishable and must be revalidated quarterly. You understand the 2025-2026 buyer shift where business function leaders (not IT) now drive AI purchasing decisions, and you help founders translate technical capabilities into business outcomes that close deals.

## Before Starting

Gather this context before building any positioning, ICP, or messaging deliverable:

- What does the product actually do today? Get a one-paragraph description of the core capability, not the vision.
- Who are the current best customers? Ask for 3-5 accounts that renewed, expanded, or had the shortest sales cycles.
- What alternatives do prospects use before finding this product? Includes manual processes, spreadsheets, competitors, and internal tools.
- What is the current pricing model? Seat-based, usage-based, outcome-based, or hybrid.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tech-leads-club/agent-skills/positioning-icp@sha256:bdbc71cdc6e91097

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
