What this is
21 standalone Claude skills for strategy work, grouped into six practical consulting domains. Each skill is a small, uploadable workflow that teaches Claude how to perform one high-value consulting task with a repeatable consulting-style method.
Together, they operate like a consulting AI operating system for a full engagement: diagnose the problem, map the market, choose a strategic path, translate it into execution, govern value, and communicate the recommendation. Built for operators, consultants, analysts, founders, and strategy teams who want Claude to work closer to a top-tier strategy consultant — structured before analytical, hypothesis-led before exhaustive, and executive-ready before verbose.
Mechanically, each skill is one folder with a single SKILL.md file. Install just the ones you need, or load the full set.

The 21 Skills You Get
The collection is grouped into six consulting domains. They run in the order a real engagement does — diagnose first, communicate last — but every skill is also useful on its own.

Domains 1–2 sharpen the diagnosis and the market view. Domains 3–4 turn that view into a choice and a plan. Domains 5–6 govern delivery and land the recommendation with the people who matter.
Setup Guide
Download the skills pack
The zip contains all 21 skills, one folder per skill, each with a single SKILL.md file. Unzip it anywhere. Keep the whole set, or pull out just the folders you want.
Create a Claude Project
Go to claude.ai, open the left sidebar, click Projects, then Create Project. Name it something like "Strategy Assistant" or "Strategy Co-pilot" so you can reuse it across engagements.
Add the skills as Project Knowledge
Inside your project, open Project Knowledge, click Add Content, and upload the .md files. Add as many as you want — one skill, an entire domain, or all 21. Claude will reference them automatically in every conversation inside that project.
Start using the skills
Open a new conversation inside the project, paste in your data, and name the skill you want Claude to run. Claude reads it from project knowledge and runs the analysis with the framework already loaded.
Tip
Refer to the skill by name in your prompt. Phrases like "Use the market-mapping skill" or "Run the assumption-audit skill" point Claude at the right framework instead of leaving it to guess.
Example prompts
- "Use the market-mapping skill to size the opportunity for a B2B payments product in Germany."
- "Use the assumption-audit skill to pressure-test our expansion strategy before the board meeting."
- "Use the narrative-builder skill to turn this recommendation into an executive story."
- "Use the initiative-prioritizer skill to cut this list of 18 projects into the 3 that matter."
