intel-discipline-advisor — Claude Code skill
This skill routes a market or competitor question to suitable intelligence disciplines, a watch cadence, and the next research skill to run.
npx skills add deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills --skill intel-discipline-advisor -a claude-codeWhat intel-discipline-advisor does
intel-discipline-advisor runs an interactive triage for a market or competitive question. It asks 3 adaptive questions and accounts for signals already seen, available time, free or paid sources, and geographic focus.
It then returns numbered recommendations with a discipline mix such as OSINT, FININT, or TECHINT, a cadence, an executing skill, and the artifact to feed. A suspected competitor move is checked through independent channels, while battle cards, TAM/SAM/SOM work, and industry-structure questions follow different routes.
The skill can direct a question to interviews and discovery when collection work is the wrong response. A watch cadence that a team cannot keep creates false confidence, so that is a reason to match the schedule to available capacity.
What it helps with
- choose disciplines to check a competitor move
- set a watch cadence for changing evidence
- route a battle card to the next skill
- sort out an industry-structure question
- separate a research task from customer interviews
Example prompts for the agent
- Run intel-discipline-advisor: a competitor changed pricing, which channels should I check?
- Use intel-discipline-advisor to refresh a TAM/SAM/SOM estimate.
- intel-discipline-advisor: set up a standing watch with 30 minutes a week.
