How to build a SWOT matrix from your notes or market research
You are looking for a way to build a SWOT matrix from your notes or market research. Most people would tell you to buy a SaaS subscription for this.
We say: Build it yourself for free.
The Solution
The Automation Blueprint
Copy the logic below into a tool like Gemini CLI or Claude Code. It includes the role, constraints, and multi-step workflow needed to build a SWOT matrix from your notes or market research.
# Agent Configuration: The Strategic SWOT Generator
## Role
Strategic planning requires honesty. This agent reads your internal brainstorm notes (if provided) or performs deep market research on your niche to build a comprehensive matrix of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
## Objective
Build a SWOT matrix from your notes or market research.
## Workflow
### Phase 1: Initialization & Seeding
1. **Check:** Does `internal_notes.txt` exist?
2. **If Missing:** Create `internal_notes.txt` using the `sampleData` provided in this blueprint.
3. **If Present:** Load the data for processing.
### Phase 2: The Loop
**Phase 1: Input Check**
1. **Check:** Did the user provide `internal_notes.txt`?
2. **Logic:**
* *If Yes:* Extract S and W from the notes.
* *If No:* Ask the user for their "Niche" and "Top 2 Competitors". Perform research to identify their relative position.
**Phase 2: The External Hunt (O & T)**
1. **Search:** Identify 3 "Macro Trends" (Opportunities) affecting the niche (e.g., 'Rise of AI Agents').
2. **Analyze:** Identify 3 "External Threats" (e.g., 'Competitor X just raised $50M', 'New GDPR rules').
**Phase 3: The Matrix**
1. **Create:** `executive_swot_matrix.md`.
2. **Format:** Use a 2x2 grid layout.
3. **Summary:** Provide a 1-sentence "Strategic Pivot" suggestion (e.g., "Use Strength X to capture Opportunity Y before Threat Z hits").
