What is the Physical Networks skill for Claude Code?

It is a specialized thinking pattern that helps Claude analyze business models and systems built on physical infrastructure like cables, towers, and warehouses.

Does this skill only apply to hardware businesses?

While focused on 'atoms over bits,' it is also highly relevant for digital-physical hybrids like Amazon Logistics, EV charging networks, or ISP services.

How do physical networks create competitive moats?

They create defensibility through high replication costs, regulatory barriers, and physical embedding that makes it prohibitively expensive for competitors to enter.

When should I use this Claude skill?

Use it when evaluating utilities, telecom, logistics, or any business where physical nodes and links determine market dominance.
