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.
