GTM Strategy
Overview
Create a comprehensive go-to-market strategy for a product launch. This skill covers marketing channels, messaging development, success metrics definition, and launch planning.
When to Use
- Planning a product launch
- Creating a GTM plan from scratch
- Defining a launch strategy for a new market
- Developing product-to-market fit strategy
- Preparing a product go-live roadmap
How It Works
Step 1: Gather Research Data
The system will help you load and analyze early research about your product and target market. Provide:
- Product description and key features
- Target market segment details
- Market research or validation data
- Competitive landscape information
- Any available customer interviews or survey data
Step 2: Define Marketing Channels
Evaluate which channels best reach your target audience:
- Digital marketing channels (paid search, social media, display)
- Content and inbound channels (blog, SEO, thought leadership)
- Sales and outbound channels (direct outreach, partnerships)
- Community and grassroots channels
- Product-led and viral channels
Step 3: Develop Messaging
Create audience-specific messaging that resonates:
- Core value proposition for target segment
- Key differentiators and competitive advantages
- Pain point validation and solution mapping
- Proof points and social proof strategies
- Channel-specific messaging variations
Step 4: Define Success Metrics
Establish measurable KPIs to track launch success:
- Awareness metrics (impressions, reach, brand recall)
- Engagement metrics (CTR, cost per engagement, time on site)
- Conversion metrics (signups, demos requested, trials started)
- Revenue metrics (MRR, customer acquisition cost, lifetime value)
- Market metrics (market share, segment penetration)
Step 5: Create Launch Plan
Build a phased launch timeline:
- Pre-launch preparation (messaging, channels, timeline)
- Launch day activities and announcements
- Post-launch momentum (content, partnerships, communities)
- Measurement and optimization cadence
- Success criteria and go/no-go decision points
Input Format
Use $ARGUMENTS to pass:
- Product name and description
- Target market segment
- Research data or file path
- Launch timeline and constraints
- Budget or resource limitations
Output
A structured GTM strategy document including:
- Recommended marketing channels with justification
- Channel-specific messaging and positioning
- Launch timeline with key milestones
- KPI targets and measurement framework
- Risk mitigation strategies
- 90-day execution roadmap
Framework
This skill applies Product Compass GTM strategy methodology, focusing on market selection, channel fit, and message-market fit for sustainable product growth.
Tips
- Start with your most confident customer segment
- Validate assumptions through customer interviews before full launch
- Focus on a few channels excellently rather than many channels poorly
- Establish baseline metrics before launch to measure impact
- Plan for feedback loops and optimization

How to use gtm-strategy on Cursor
AI-first code editor with Composer
Prerequisites
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
- ›Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
- ›Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with
node --version) - ›Active project directory or workspace where you want to add gtm-strategy
Execute installation command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
The skills CLI fetches gtm-strategy from GitHub repository phuryn/pm-skills and configures it for Cursor.
Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:
Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Reload or restart Cursor to activate gtm-strategy. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /gtm-strategy) or your agent's skill management interface.
Security & Verification Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.

Use Cases▌
User Story & Requirements Generation
Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs
Example
Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios
Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage
Competitive Analysis
Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps
Example
Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities
Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days
Roadmap Prioritization
Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs
Example
Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale
Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Stakeholder Communication
Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example
Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead
Implementation Guide▌
Prerequisites
- ›Claude Desktop or compatible AI client
- ›Access to product documentation and roadmap tools (Jira, Notion, etc.)
- ›Understanding of product management frameworks (RICE, Jobs-to-be-Done, etc.)
- ›Stakeholder contact information and communication channels
Time Estimate
30-60 minutes to see productivity improvements
Installation Steps
- 1.Install product management skill
- 2.Start with user story generation for known feature
- 3.Progress to competitive analysis: research 2-3 competitors
- 4.Use for roadmap prioritization: apply RICE/ICE scoring
- 5.Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback
- 6.Build template library for recurring PM tasks
- 7.Share effective prompts with product team
Common Pitfalls
- ⚠Not validating competitive research—verify facts before sharing
- ⚠Accepting user stories without involving engineering team
- ⚠Over-relying on frameworks without qualitative judgment
- ⚠Not customizing outputs to company culture and communication style
- ⚠Skipping stakeholder validation of generated requirements
Best Practices▌
✓ Do
- +Validate research and competitive analysis with real data
- +Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements
- +Customize frameworks and templates to your company context
- +Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input
- +Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks
- +Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition
✗ Don't
- −Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking
- −Don't finalize user stories without engineering review
- −Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring
- −Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements
- −Don't ignore company-specific context and culture
💡 Pro Tips
- ★Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback
- ★Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap'
- ★Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec'
- ★Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs
When to Use This▌
✓ Use When
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid When
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
