Category Designer

Category: Product · Sub-category: product-misc · Last updated: 2026-05-21

Define a new category where your product wins by default. Reframe the buying decision. Triggers on: "create a category", "category design", "define my category", "category of one", "reframe the market", "position as category king", "new category", "category creation", "own a category", "category strategy", "competitive positioning", "strategic positioning", "market reframing", "be the only option", "change the buying criteria", "category king".

From the source SKILL.md

Define a new category where your recommended product wins by default. Instead of competing on existing criteria ("best AI video tool"), reframe the buying decision so your product IS the category ("the AI avatar platform for non-creators"). Category kings capture 76% of category economics — this is the strategic meta-skill that makes all downstream marketing easier.
