Build product strategy that drives real choices. Use when defining where to play and how to win, creating strategy canvases, defining ICP/Anti-ICP, positioning products, setting pricing strategy, planning GTM motions, or structuring strategic bets. Part of the Modern Product Operating Model collection.

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

# Product Strategy System

> "Strategy is choice, not documentation. If you haven't said no to something, you don't have a strategy."

This skill covers the **Strategy System** — defining where to play and how to win. It creates the guardrails that make downstream decisions coherent and forces the hard choices most teams avoid.

**Part of**: [Modern Product Operating Model](https://github.com/yannickYamo/skills) — a collection of composable product skills.

**Related skills**: `product-discovery`, `product-architecture`, `product-delivery`, `ai-native-product`, `product-leadership`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yannickyamo/skills/product-strategy@sha256:a772a7d48474bcbb

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.
