# PESTEL Delta Monitor ## Purpose Refresh a PESTEL analysis by diffing each factor — Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, Legal — against the prior run and reporting **material movement only**: **search plan → factor-by-factor diff → broken assumptions → new entrants to the frame → next-step options.** Macro factors move slowly, which is exactly why teams stop looking; the value of a cadence is catching the two factors that moved, not re-debating the twenty that didn't. Diffing also reveals which baseline entries were live assumptions versus furniture — **broken assumptions are the real output.** ## Input **Works best with:** the prior PESTEL analysis (pasted or attached) and the product/market scope it covered — this skill *requires* a baseline to diff against. **Also useful:** any events since the last run you already suspect matter — they get checked first. Input supplied inline with the invocation — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended `ARGUMENTS:` line — counts as answers already given. Use it against the question budget; don't re-ask. **Arriving empty-handed?** This is the one investigation skill with a hard prerequisite: with
- Purpose
- Input
- Key Concepts
- Application
- Output schema (do not reorder)
- Final Step (offer exactly 4 options)
- Examples

What does the pestel-delta-monitor skill do?
Quarterly re-scan of a prior PESTEL analysis. Use when checking which macro factors moved, which assumptions broke, and what's new — turning PESTEL from a workshop artifact into a radar.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills --skill pestel-delta-monitor --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills, a repository with 6,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
