What problem does it solve? Answering "how does platform engineering look in our industry" from general knowledge produces shallow, unverifiable claims. This Skill grounds industry briefs in a built-in benchmark databank (adoption, maturity, budget, and metrics distributions from 2025 industry surveys) and a vertical pattern library covering automotive, gaming, real estate, healthcare, freight, and regulated finance. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Benchmark positioning: Positions an organization against survey distributions across five platform maturity dimensions and a four-stage AI governance model, with survey-year attribution on every figure. - Vertical pattern matching: Supplies pattern-first peer case studies (context, constraint, approach, outcome, transferable lesson) for six verticals, with explicit flags on hypothetical or vendor-affiliated material. - Decision-ready brief output: Produces a structured brief with TL;DR, industry positioning, peer patterns, prioritized next steps, and a benchmark appendix, in quick, standard, or deep formats. - Use Case: A platform lead at a logistics company asks "what are peers doing with AI agents?" and receives a brief anchored to the freight/logistics control-tower pattern plus cross-industry AI adoption benchmarks. ## Quick Start Use the platform-industry-brief skill to write a standard industry brief on platform engineering in the automotive sector for a 500-person engineering org.
