11 open strategy frameworks as AI-guided prompts for any MCP client.
Open strategy frameworks designed to run as AI-guided conversations. Each skill is a single markdown file that turns any large language model into a strategy thinking partner.
Built on 20 years of consulting practice. Free, open, model-agnostic.
Strategy skills are structured prompts in SKILL.md format that guide an LLM through a proven strategic framework — asking the right questions, spotting patterns, surfacing contradictions, and producing actionable output. They work with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any model that reads markdown.
Every skill runs in three modes:
All skills read and update a shared company-context.md file that accumulates strategic intelligence across sessions.
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
| strategy-diagnostic | Entry point — AI-guided strategic assessment that detects which frameworks to run |

| vrio-analysis | Test whether your competitive advantages are real, rare, and durable |
| environmental-radar | Continuous PESTEL scan for external forces shaping your next move |
| market-position | Competitive positioning — where you actually stand, not where the slide deck says |
| wardley-map | Component evolution mapping — see where the value chain is heading |
| culture-assessment | Surface the real culture vs. the stated one |
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
| first-principles-strategy | Find the theoretical maximum, then work backwards to your first move |
