The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 2486dc9

Fetched SKILL.md (v1.4.1) and confirmed all 8 body-referenced files (errc-grid, implementation, non-customers, sequence, six-paths, strategy-canvas, value-innovation, blue-ocean-examples) exist in the tree and return HTTP 200. Frontmatter parses with name+description; no hardcoded paths; grep found no exfiltration/base64/secrets — only two disclosed Amazon affiliate links (tag=wondelai00-20) in Further Reading. Trigger phrasings tested (should-fire: "the market is too crowded, how do we stand out?"; "build me a strategy canvas and ERRC grid for my product"; "we're stuck in a price war, how do we escape it?" — should-NOT: "should I raise prices 10% next quarter?"; "fix the bug in my checkout flow") — all 5 judged correctly.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Blue Ocean Strategy does

A pure-prompt strategy skill that applies Blue Ocean Strategy (value innovation, ERRC grid, strategy canvas, Six Paths, three tiers of non-customers, utility-price-cost sequence) to a market/positioning question. Triggers on phrases like "blue ocean", "the market is too crowded", "how do we stand out", "escape the price war", or ERRC/strategy-canvas mentions. Produces a structured, scored diagnostic instead of generic differentiation advice.

How to install Blue Ocean Strategy

Copy the `blue-ocean-strategy/` directory (SKILL.md + references/) into your `.claude/skills/` folder. No dependencies, no external CLI/MCP — the runtime is the model itself.

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
