Run a full strategy engagement on Fable 5 instead of a retainer
Run a full strategy engagement on Fable 5 instead of a retainer, and the usual six-figure scope of work collapses into 30 focused Claude skills you run yourself. They cover the 5 phases of a real engagement: diagnose the question, map the market, choose the path, build the roadmap, and communicate the decision. Each skill is a single markdown file that teaches Claude a named, repeatable method instead of a vague instruction to do some strategy work, and each ships with example prompts.
This is the shape of a real strategy engagement, condensed. The 30 skills carry 150 example prompts between them, and running the whole thing end to end is roughly a 50-agent workflow: each skill spins up its own focused Claude session, and each phase is synthesized before it feeds the next. Teams that used to bring in outside help for a full-scope review are increasingly running the same 5 phases themselves, with Claude doing the framing, the market read, the option comparison, and the first draft of every deliverable. You still own every decision the skills inform. The skills remove the hours it used to take to reach the point where a decision was possible.
For the fuller six-domain operating system this pack sits inside, see our Strategy Skills for Claude Fable 5, and for a lighter set built for a standing weekly cadence, see our 9 Claude Workflows for Strategy.

The 30 skills behind the engagement
5 phases, 30 skills, 6 in each phase. Every one is a standalone SKILL.md file that teaches Claude a named method for one specific part of a strategy engagement, not a generic prompt to analyze something. Between them the skills carry 150 example prompts, and running the full engagement is roughly a 50-agent workflow. Install every phase, or pull out just the skill you need.
The five-phase strategy engagement
Diagnose
Frame the question and read the current state before anyone builds a slide. Turn a vague executive worry into one testable question, a MECE issue tree, an early hypothesis set, and a time-boxed workplan.
Problem Framing
Turn a vague executive concern into one sharp, testable strategic question with a clear decision owner
Skill file: problem-framing
Situation Assessment
Build a fast current-state picture of the business, its performance, and the forces pressing on it

Workplan Design
Convert the issue tree into a time-boxed analysis plan with owners, methods, and deliverables

Map
Build the evidence base. Decide what data is decision-grade, size the market two ways, profile the competition, cut the customer base into real segments, and turn raw interviews into ranked findings.
Data Gathering Plan
Decide exactly what data you need, where to get it, and how to make it decision-grade
Skill file: data-gathering-plan
Market Sizing
Size the market top-down and bottom-up with transparent assumptions and a sanity-checked range

Choose
Force a real decision. Generate genuinely distinct options, model the scenarios and the economics of each, score them against weighted criteria, and compress everything into one defensible recommendation.
Option Generation
Generate a genuinely distinct set of strategic options, not three flavors of the same idea
Skill file: option-generation
Scenario Modeling
Build base, upside, and downside scenarios with named drivers and tipping points
Skill file: scenario-modeling
Financial Modeling
Model the P and L, cash, and returns of each option so the numbers can be compared

Prioritization Scoring
Score options against weighted criteria to force a defensible, transparent ranking
Skill file: prioritization-scoring
Business Case Builder
Assemble the recommended option into a full business case a board can actually approve
Skill file: business-case-builder
Recommendation Synthesis
Compress all the analysis into one clear recommendation with the reasoning behind it
Skill file: recommendation-synthesis
Execute
Turn the choice into a plan that survives the calendar. Sequence the roadmap, design the operating model, charter each initiative, surface the risks, define the KPIs, and plan the people side of the change.
Roadmap Design
Sequence the chosen strategy into phased workstreams, milestones, and dependencies
Skill file: roadmap-design
Operating Model Design
Design the org, roles, and decision rights needed to actually run the new strategy
Skill file: operating-model-design
Initiative Charter
Charter each major initiative with scope, owner, success metrics, and resourcing
Skill file: initiative-charter

Define the leading and lagging KPIs and the dashboard that tracks whether it is working
Skill file: kpi-dashboard-design
Change Management Plan
Plan the people side of the change so the strategy lands instead of stalling

Write the one-page answer-first summary a busy executive reads before anything else
Skill file: executive-summary
Board Memo
Draft the board-ready memo that frames the decision, options, and the ask
Skill file: board-memo

Plan and run the decision meeting so the room leaves aligned on a commitment
Skill file: readout-facilitation
Setup guide
Download the skills pack
The zip contains all 30 skills, grouped into 5 phases, each a single SKILL.md file. Unzip it anywhere. Keep the whole engagement, or pull out just the skill you need.
Create a Claude Project
Go to claude.ai, open the left sidebar, click Projects, then Create Project. Name it something like "Strategy Engagement" so you can reuse it for every project.
Add the skills as Project Knowledge
Inside your project, open Project Knowledge, click Add Content, and upload the .md files. Add one phase or all 30 skills. Claude will reference them automatically in every conversation inside that project.
Run the phases in sequence
Open a new conversation inside the project, paste in your data, and name the skill you want Claude to run. Chain skills in one session: the market-sizing output can feed directly into option-generation and then financial-modeling.
Example prompts
- "Use the problem-framing skill on this prompt: our board wants 15% growth next year and nobody agrees on how."
- "Use the market-sizing skill to size the market for mid-market payroll software in the region."
- "Use the option-generation skill now that we have the market read for entering the segment."
- "Use the board-memo skill to turn this roadmap into a two-page memo for Thursday's board meeting."
Tip
Name the skill in your prompt instead of describing the task. Phrases like "use the roadmap-design skill" point Claude at the exact method instead of leaving it to guess which one applies.
How to choose a skill
Match your immediate question to the skill that answers it. The table below picks one skill per question, but the pack ships 30 in total across 5 phases. For a wider set of standalone strategy skills beyond this engagement, see our 10 Claude Skills for Strategy Professionals.
The quality bar
Every skill is designed to hold output to the standard a senior reviewer would apply before a recommendation leaves the room.
Frequently asked questions
What is this Claude skills pack for running a strategy engagement?
It is 30 standalone Claude skills organized into the 5 phases of a full strategy engagement: Diagnose, Map, Choose, Execute, and Communicate, with 6 skills in each phase. Each skill is a single markdown file that teaches Claude a named, repeatable method for one job, and ships with example prompts. Across the pack that is 150 example prompts, and running the whole engagement end to end is roughly a 50-agent workflow, with each phase synthesized before it feeds the next.
How do I install these Claude skills?
Download the zip, then either create a Claude Project on claude.ai and upload the SKILL.md files as project knowledge, or drop the skill folders into ~/.claude/skills/ if you use Claude Code. Both routes are covered in the setup guide below.
Can I run all 30 skills in a single Claude Project?
Yes. Add the SKILL.md files to one project as project knowledge documents and reference each skill by name in your prompts. Claude reads the relevant skill automatically in every conversation inside that project, so the output of one skill can feed directly into the next. Most teams run the 30 skills as a ~50-agent workflow across the pack's 150 example prompts, synthesizing each phase before moving to the next.
Does this replace hiring a strategy team?
No. The skills replace the assembly work behind a full-scope engagement: framing the question, building the market read, comparing options, drafting the roadmap and the memo. The judgment, the client relationship, and the final call stay with your team. The skills exist so that work happens in hours instead of weeks.
How does this connect to Oria?
Claude and these skills handle the diagnosis, the analysis, and the memo. Oria handles the presentation layer. Paste the board memo, the roadmap, or the option comparison into Oria inside PowerPoint, and it converts the text into a fully editable slide in your corporate template in two to three minutes, instead of a manual formatting pass.
