strategy-frameworks — Claude Code plugin: 46 strategy frameworks

# Strategy Frameworks for Claude Code

46 strategy and management frameworks, 4 entry points.
Describe your problem — AI picks the best tool(s) and runs them.

## `/think` — One Command, 46 Tools

```
/think Our competitor is stealing key accounts with aggressive pricing. How should we respond?
```

The AI automatically:
1. Detects keywords in your problem
2. Selects the best 1-3 frameworks
3. Executes them in sequence
4. Synthesizes into a unified insight + 3 concrete actions

## Architecture

```
/think (meta-router — user-invocable)
├── 26 Strategy Frameworks (internal, auto-selected by /think)
│   ├── wardley, ooda, systems-thinking
│   ├── blue-ocean, design-thinking, first-principles
│   ├── porter, drucker, bsc
│   ├── bcg-matrix, mckinsey-7s, swot-pestel, ansoff-matrix
│   ├── disruptive-innovation, scenario-planning, stp, marketing-mix
│   ├── jtbd, bmc, kotter, okr, lean-startup
│   └── real-options, game-theory, pyramid-principle, rbv
├── /toc (user-invocable + 10 sub-commands)
│   └── crt, ec, frt, tt, prt, five-steps, dbr, ccpm, throughput, buy-in
└── /triz (user-invocable + 9 sub-commands)
    └── contradiction, matrix, 40p, ifr, ariz, sufield, resources, trimming, evolution
```

The 26 strategy frameworks have `user-invocable: false` — they don't appear in the slash menu but are called internally by `/think` via the Skill tool. TOC and TRIZ remain directly accessible because power users often need specific tools.

## Installation

### One-Line Install (all 46 tools)

```bash
cd /path/to/your/project
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ironyjk/strategy-frameworks/master/install.sh | bash
```

Or manually:

```bash
cd /path/to/your/project

# 1. Strategy Frameworks (26 + think agent)
git clone https://github.com/ironyjk/strategy-frameworks.git /tmp/sf
cp -r /tmp/sf/{wardley,ooda,systems-thinking,blue-ocean,design-thinking,first-principles,porter,drucker,bsc,bcg-matrix,mckinsey-7s,swot-pestel,ansoff-matrix,disruptive-innovation,scenario-planning,stp,marketing-mix,jtbd,bmc,kotter,okr,lean-startup,real-options,game-theory,pyramid-principle,rbv,think} .claude/skills/

# 2. TOC Agents (10 sub-tools)
git clone https://github.com/ironyjk/toc-agents.git /tmp/toc
cp -r /tmp/toc/.claude/skills/toc .claude/skills/

# 3. TRIZ Agents (9 sub-tools)
git clone https://github.com/ironyjk/triz-agents.git /tmp/triz
cp -r /tmp/triz/.claude/skills/triz .claude/skills/
```

### Auto-Update (Recommended)

Register a `SessionStart` hook to auto-check for updates:

**Option A: Auto-register during install**
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ironyjk/strategy-frameworks/master/install.sh | bash -s -- --with-hook
```

**Option B: Manual hook registration**

Add to `.claude/settings.local.json` (or `~/.claude/settings.json`):

```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "SessionStart": [
      {
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "bash .claude/skills/think/check-update.sh &"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

The `&` runs in the background without blocking session start. Checks once per 24 hours, fails silently on network errors.

### Partial Install

```bash
# Just the frameworks you need
cp -r wardley porter .claude/skills/
```

> `/think` requires all 46 tools for full auto-routing.

### Other Platforms

These frameworks work with any LLM. The SKILL.md and references/ files are standard markdown.

**Cursor** — `cat wardley/SKILL.md >> .cursorrules`

**ChatGPT (Custom GPTs)** — Upload SKILL.md + references as Knowledge files

**Gemini** — Paste SKILL.md into System Instructions

**Open Source LLMs** — Load as system prompt

**As Human Reference** — The `references/` docs are standalone guides, no AI needed.
