organic-growth-advisor — Claude Code skill: pick a growth path
A skill that runs a quick triage and points to one organic growth path: new segments, geographies, channels or products.
npx skills add deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills --skill organic-growth-advisor -a claude-codeWhat organic-growth-advisor does
Two questions drive the triage: how familiar the next market or buyer is, and how much the product itself has to change. Your answers land on a growth path matrix, and the skill returns a single recommendation with rationale, a diagnostic question and a first experiment.
The four paths come from the McKinsey Growth Pyramid, levels 2 through 5. Level 1 is retention and optimisation work, while levels 6 and 7 need capital and an executive mandate, so neither is covered. Risk grows with distance from the core: new segments sit closest, new products furthest. Teams often spend on the far level before exhausting the near ones.
Treat it as triage, not a strategy tool. Without core product-market fit, fix level 1 first. The skill runs in Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode.
What it helps with
- find where growth is actually stuck
- choose between new segments and new geographies
- decide whether a new sales channel is needed
- judge if an adjacent product is worth building
- frame a hypothesis for an AI-assisted experiment
Example prompts for the agent
- Triage our situation: B2B payroll tool, strong in US mid-market, growth has plateaued.
- Help me pick a growth level — product-market fit is there, new customers are not.
- Should we enter a new geography, or test a new segment first?

It triages your situation along two axes — market familiarity and product change — then recommends one of four growth paths with rationale and a first step.

It is not a rigorous strategic planning tool and not a replacement for customer discovery. It sets a direction; discovery still has to validate it.
