position-lock — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited position-lock (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Engineer a positioning architecture that is structurally defensible and cascades consistently from brand level down to feature level.
Critical inputs (ask if not provided):
Nice-to-have:
Layer 1: Category Design Decide your category strategy:
| Strategy | When to Use | Risk Level |
|---|---|---|
| Create new category | You are truly different, market is ready | High effort, highest leverage |
| Redefine existing category | Existing category is stale, you have a fresh angle | Medium effort |
| Compete within category | Category is well-understood, you have clear advantages | Lowest effort |
Layer 2: Strategic Narrative The "big idea" connecting your product to a larger market shift:
Layer 3: Value Proposition Matrix
| Value Type | Question It Answers | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Functional | What does it DO? | "Automates X, reducing time by 80%" |
| Emotional | How does it make them FEEL? | "Confidence that nothing falls through cracks" |
| Social | How does it make them LOOK? | "Seen as innovative by leadership" |
| Economic | What does it SAVE/EARN? | "Saves $50K/year per team" |
Layer 4: Proof Architecture Map evidence to every value claim:
Score your positioning (1-10):
| Dimension | Question | Scoring Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Proposition clarity | Can someone explain it in one sentence? | 1=confusing, 5=clear, 10=instantly obvious |
| Resonance | Does it connect to a felt pain? | 1=abstract, 5=relevant, 10=visceral "that's me" |
| Isolation | Could a competitor credibly claim the same? | 1=generic, 5=somewhat unique, 10=only we can say this |
| Substance | Is every claim backed by evidence? | 1=vapor, 5=some proof, 10=bulletproof evidence |
| Memorability | Is the language distinctive and sticky? | 1=forgettable, 5=decent, 10=quotable |
PRISM Score = average of all 5. Launch-readiness threshold: 7.0+
Build the L0-L5 hierarchy where every level ladders up:
| Level | What It Is | Example |
|---|---|---|
| L0 | Category declaration | "The AI-native project management platform" |
| L1 | Brand tagline | "Ship faster, stress less" |
| L2 | Strategic narrative | "Teams are drowning in tools. We built one that thinks." |
| L3 | Persona-specific value props (3-5) | "For PMs: Cut planning time by 60%" |
| L4 | Use-case messaging (per scenario) | "For sprint planning: AI suggests story points" |
| L5 | Feature-level proof points | "Auto-prioritization uses 12 signals to rank your backlog" |
Rule: Every lower level must ladder up. If L4 messaging contradicts L2, something is broken.
