  • 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.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by MichaelRochonnn on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the 3c Analysis Overlap Dynamics AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

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.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/MichaelRochonnn/mckinsey-bcg-consulting/tree/main/3c-analysis-overlap-dynamics
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

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/MichaelRochonnn/mckinsey-bcg-consulting.git /tmp/mckinsey-bcg-consulting
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/mckinsey-bcg-consulting/3c-analysis-overlap-dynamics .claude/skills/3c-analysis-overlap-dynamics
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable 3c Analysis Overlap Dynamics 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 3c Analysis Overlap Dynamics 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 3c Analysis Overlap Dynamics 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.

3C Analysis via Overlap Dynamics

Use this skill when performing market analysis, strategic planning, or competitive intelligence. The key insight is that independent analysis of the 3Cs is useless—the strategic value lies in understanding the overlaps.

When to Use

  • Conducting market analysis for strategic positioning
  • Performing competitive intelligence to identify market gaps
  • Evaluating product-market fit and entry strategies
  • Planning differentiation from competitors
  • Assessing Blue Ocean vs. Red Ocean opportunities

Prerequisites

  • Market data and customer needs
  • Competitor offerings and market presence
  • Internal company capabilities and product portfolio

Execution Workflow

1. Visualize the Overlap Zones

Map three overlapping circles to create 8 distinct zones (a-h):

  • Customer: Market needs and demand
  • Competitor: Competitor offerings and presence
  • Company: Your company's capabilities and products

2. Analyze Each Zone

Zone d: Red Ocean / "Street Fighter" (Customer + Competitor + Company)

  • Largest market with all players present
  • Requires fierce competition to win
  • Primary battleground for established markets

Zone c: Blue Ocean / "Honeymoon Zone" (Customer + Company)

  • Your company meets customer needs without competitors
  • Temporary advantage—competitors will eventually enter
  • Prepare for inevitable transition to Zone d

Zone a: Pure Opportunity (Customer only)

  • Customer needs exist with no solutions from anyone
  • Ideal target for innovation and new market creation
  • Capturing this creates a new Zone c

Zone g: Product Out (Company only)

  • Company capabilities without market demand
  • Tech push without validation
  • Common trap for R&D-focused organizations

Zone e: Futile War (Competitor + Company)

  • Competition exists without customer demand
  • Can refine technology but yields no profit
  • Example: Carbon fiber R&D wars

Zone f: Competitor's Domain (Competitor only)

  • Potential customers served only by rivals
  • Target for market share capture

Zone h: Future R&D (None)

  • No current market, competitors, or capabilities
  • Long-term investment zone
  • Example: Early semiconductors, LED technology

3. Determine Strategic Focus

  • Primary Aim: Target Zone a to create new demand, or Zone c for temporary Blue Ocean
  • Critical Recognition: Blue Oceans (Zone c) are fleeting; build strength to compete in Red Oceans (Zone d)
  • Avoid: Zone g (product development without market validation)
  • Monitor: Zone h for future strategic opportunities

Output

Generate a market positioning strategy that identifies:

  1. Current zones where the company operates
  2. Target zones for strategic focus and investment
  3. Preparation needed for Zone c to Zone d transition
  4. Innovation opportunities in Zone a
  5. Resources to avoid in Zone g

Frequently asked questions

What does the 3c Analysis Overlap Dynamics AI skill do?

Analyze strategic market positioning by mapping overlaps between Customer, Competitor, and Company capabilities to identify Blue Ocean opportunities and Red Ocean battlegrounds. Use during market analysis, strategic planning, or competitive intelligence when you need to determine where your company should focus and how to position against competitors.

Why use 3c Analysis Overlap Dynamics on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. 3c Analysis Overlap Dynamics 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 3c Analysis Overlap Dynamics in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/MichaelRochonnn/mckinsey-bcg-consulting/tree/main/3c-analysis-overlap-dynamics. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use 3c Analysis Overlap Dynamics?

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 3c Analysis Overlap Dynamics?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use 3c Analysis Overlap Dynamics with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the 3c Analysis Overlap Dynamics AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by MichaelRochonnn. Check the repository for licensing terms. 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.
