Run a Full Strategy Engagement on Fable 5 Instead of a Retainer
30 plug-and-play Claude skills, with 150 example prompts, that run a full strategy engagement as a roughly 50-agent workflow across 5 phases: diagnose the question, map the market, choose the path, build the roadmap, and write the memo. Download the pack and run the engagement yourself.
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.

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 and unzip the pack, open Settings in Claude, select Skills under Customize, and use Add, then Upload a skill. Upload the SKILL.md file from each skill folder you want to use, confirm it appears in the list, and make sure it is turned on. The current five-step flow is shown below.
Can I add and run all 30 skills in Claude?
Yes. Upload the SKILL.md files through Claude's Skills settings and reference the relevant skill by name in your prompts. 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.
