Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
2 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by alirezarezvani on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Intl Expansion AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git /tmp/claude-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-skills/c-level-advisor/skills/intl-expansion .claude/skills/intl-expansion

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Intl Expansion in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Intl Expansion on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Intl Expansion is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

International Expansion

Frameworks for expanding into new markets: selection, entry, localization, and execution.

Keywords

Quick Start

Decision sequence: Market selection → Entry mode → Regulatory assessment → Localization plan → GTM strategy → Team structure → Launch.

Market Selection Framework

Scoring Matrix

Factor	Weight	How to Assess
Market size (addressable)	25%	TAM in target segment, willingness to pay
Competitive intensity	20%	Incumbent strength, market gaps
Regulatory complexity	20%	Barriers to entry, compliance cost, timeline
Cultural distance	15%	Language, business practices, buying behavior
Existing traction	10%	Inbound demand, existing customers, partnerships
Operational complexity	10%	Time zones, infrastructure, payment systems

Entry Modes

Mode	Investment	Control	Risk	Best For
Export (sell remotely)	Low	Low	Low	Testing demand
Partnership (reseller/distributor)	Medium	Medium	Medium	Markets with strong local requirements
Local team (hire in-market)	High	High	High	Strategic markets with proven demand
Entity (full subsidiary)	Very high	Full	High	Major markets, regulatory requirement
Acquisition	Highest	Full	Highest	Fast market entry with existing base

Default path: Export → Partnership → Local team → Entity (graduate as revenue justifies).

Localization Checklist

Product

Language (UI, documentation, support content)
Currency and pricing (local pricing, not just conversion)
Payment methods (varies wildly by market)
Date/time/number formats
Legal requirements (data residency, privacy)
Cultural adaptation (not just translation)

Go-to-Market

Messaging adaptation (what resonates locally)
Channel strategy (channels differ by market)
Local case studies and social proof
Local partnerships and integrations
Event/conference presence
Local SEO and content

Operations

Key Questions

"Is there pull from the market, or are we pushing?"
"What's the cost of entry vs the 3-year revenue opportunity?"
"Can we serve this market from HQ, or do we need boots on the ground?"
"What's the regulatory timeline? Can we launch before the paperwork is done?"
"Who's winning in this market and what would it take to displace them?"

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Why It Happens	Prevention
Entering too many markets at once	FOMO, board pressure	Max 1-2 new markets per year
Copy-paste GTM from home market	Assuming buyers are the same	Research local buying behavior
Underestimating regulatory cost	"We'll figure it out"	Regulatory assessment BEFORE committing
Hiring too early	Optimism	Prove demand before hiring local team
Wrong pricing (just converting)	Laziness	Research willingness to pay locally

Integration with C-Suite Roles

Role	Contribution
CEO	Market selection, strategic commitment
CFO	Investment sizing, ROI modeling, entity structure
CRO	Revenue targets, sales model adaptation
CMO	Positioning, channel strategy, local brand
CPO	Localization roadmap, feature priorities
CTO	Infrastructure, data residency, scaling
CHRO	Local hiring, employment law, comp
COO	Operations setup, process adaptation

Frequently asked questions

What does the Intl Expansion AI skill do?

Why use Intl Expansion on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Intl Expansion is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Intl Expansion in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills/tree/main/c-level-advisor/skills/intl-expansion. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Intl Expansion?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Intl Expansion?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Intl Expansion with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Intl Expansion AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by alirezarezvani under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
