Eryk Orłowski fe37e5426a feat(skills): add brand-discovery and competitive benchmarking pipeline
Adds four community skills covering brand identity discovery and a
three-skill competitive benchmarking pipeline.

**brand-discovery** — Adaptive multi-session brand identity interview
spanning 8 modules (purpose, positioning, audience, personality, voice,
narrative, founder-brand tension, synthesis). Uses laddering, 5 Whys,
and projective techniques. State persisted to disk via state.json so
sessions resume across conversations without losing elicited knowledge.
Frameworks: Sinek, Dunford, Baker, Enns, Kapferer, Aaker, Neumeier,
Mark & Pearson, Lencioni. Includes 8 module output templates in
references/.

**competitive-platform-analysis** — Scopes and tiers a competitor set
before benchmarking begins. Categorizes candidates along 8 generic
creative-industry axes (positioning stance, specialization, size/model,
engagement format, distinctiveness posture, evidence model, brand
strength, market/reach) into Direct / Adjacent / Aspirational tiers.
Includes a pre-filter scoring matrix. First step in the pipeline.

**benchmark-methodology** — Scores each competitor across 9 weighted
dimensions (positioning 18%, brand voice 15%, visual craft 15%, offer
packaging 12%, evidence 12%, enterprise-readiness 10%, thought
leadership 8%, pricing 5%, client's strategic tension 5%) with explicit
1–5 rubrics and bias controls. Produces one profile card per competitor.

**competitive-report-structure** — Assembles scored cards into a
decision-grade report: executive summary, landscape map, competitor
tiers, heatmap matrix, deep dives, white-space and threats, strategic
recommendations, sources appendix.

brand-discovery complements brand-voice (ECC): brand-voice extracts a
style profile from existing source material; brand-discovery elicits
identity from scratch through structured interviews when no prior
material exists.

A competitive set scoped without the client's positioning brief is
noise, not intelligence — each skill enforces this by requiring the
brief before proceeding. The 9-dimension scoring framework deliberately
reports the client's strategic tension as two separate poles (never
averaged) because the gap between them is the strategic finding.

Raw Blame History

Module 10 — Purpose / Why

Frameworks: Sinek Golden Circle · Lencioni organisational purpose

Goal: Surface the brand's core belief — the Why that exists independently of what the organisation sells or how it delivers. Captures the founding conviction, not the elevator pitch.


Raw

Core belief (why does this exist?)

The behavioural How (values in action, not poster slogans)

What the brand refuses to be or do

Founder quotes strong enough to become internal anchors


Synthesis

Candidate Why formulations (offer 23 versions, vary register and specificity)

Open questions / threads to pursue in later modules

Contradictions or tensions between participants (multi-founder only)

How does this Why constrain or enable positioning? (bridge to Module 20)
