What it does

This skill gives the AI agent a structured framework for planning a company's expansion into new countries. Once installed, when asked about entering a foreign market, the agent works through a fixed sequence: score candidate markets on size, competition, regulation, culture, traction and operations, choose an entry mode (export, partner, local team, subsidiary or acquisition), then check a localization and operations checklist. It also points to regional reference notes for the EU, US, APAC and LATAM. It is a planning and thinking aid, not a source of live market data.

Great for

  • Founders or executives weighing whether a new country is worth entering
  • Product or marketing leads preparing a localization plan
  • Teams deciding whether to hire in a new market or sell remotely first

Skip it if

  • Legal, tax or employment decisions: the skill gives general checklists, not regulated advice, and rules change by jurisdiction, so use qualified counsel
  • Up-to-date market size or competitor figures: the skill contains no data sources and the agent may produce plausible but unverified numbers
  • Companies that need a precise, verified entry plan without expert review of the output

Try asking

  • “Score Germany, Brazil and Japan for our SaaS product using the market selection framework”
  • “Recommend an entry mode for expanding into Southeast Asia with a small budget”
  • “Build a localization checklist for launching our app in Spanish-speaking markets”
  • “What regulatory questions should we answer before entering the EU?”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Give the agent your product, budget, and current revenue so the scoring reflects your situation rather than generic advice.
  • Ask for the scoring matrix with explicit assumptions, then check the numbers against real sources before deciding.
  • Have a local lawyer or accountant verify any regulatory or tax points the agent raises.
