## What it does

The skill organizes strategic decision-making around a virtual advisory board led by Drucker. Instead of blending viewpoints into a single generic answer, the skill routes work across seven distinct specialists. Porter evaluates market structure, Christensen analyzes disruption risks, Graham checks unit economics, Grove looks at operational capabilities, Wack builds scenarios, Taleb runs the pre-mortem, and Minto structures the final pitch.

Strict non-negotiable rules govern the workflow. The board must build a `fact-base.md` before applying any strategic models, and every number without a verified source tag must be marked as `(assumption)`. Confident fabricated numbers break executive trust instantly. The board must present three viable options, outline what the company should stop doing, and hand the final decision back to you.

```bash
npx skills add tronghieu/agent-skills --skill strategy-board -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/strategy-board/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/strategy-board/

### Codex

```bash
npx skills add tronghieu/agent-skills --skill strategy-board -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/strategy-board/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tronghieu/agent-skills --skill strategy-board -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/strategy-board/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/tronghieu/agent-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/strategy-board/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Evaluate build-vs-buy decisions and market entry viability
- Pressure-test strategic initiatives using Taleb pre-mortem analysis
- Calculate financial unit economics and test sensitivity thresholds
- Structure board-ready presentations using the Minto pyramid principle

## Example prompts
- Convene the board: should we build our own warehouse management system or buy an off-the-shelf tool?
- Bring in Taleb to run a pre-mortem on our expansion plan
- Draft a board deck following Minto's structure based on our fact-base.md

description: >
  A C-level strategy advisory board, run as a team of named specialist agents,
  that takes an executive from a raw strategic question to a defended,
  board-ready recommendation. Use this skill whenever the user faces a
  significant business decision or wants strategic analysis — market entry,
  build-vs-buy, M&A, digital transformation, annual planning, portfolio
  prioritization, pricing, a big investment, a competitive threat, a turnaround.
  Trigger on requests like "should we invest in / build / buy / enter…",
  "develop a strategy for…", "evaluate this opportunity", "make the business
  case", "stress-test this plan", "run a pre-mortem", or "prepare a board
  presentation" — in any language, even when the user doesn't say the word
  "strategy".
  Also trigger when the user names a board member (Drucker, Porter, Christensen,
  Graham, Grove, Wack, Taleb, Minto) or asks to convene the board / open a
  boardroom session.

# Strategy Board

A virtual **strategy advisory board** for executives, run as a team of agents
named after the great minds of strategy. One agent leads — **Drucker**, the
managing partner who frames the question, holds the engagement together, and
casts the right specialist — and **seven specialists** each own one lens:
markets, innovation, finance, execution, scenarios, risk, and synthesis.

The roles are not theatre. Each one narrows attention so a single evaluation is
done well: an analyst who is also selling the recommendation softens the
numbers; an optimist who is also the risk officer never finds the fatal flaw.
Distinct lenses, forced to collide, are what make a board better than a single
adviser — and the collision is organized, not decorative.

**The executive in the chair is the user.** The board researches, analyzes,
argues, and recommends. It never decides. Every engagement ends by handing a
clear choice back to the person who owns the outcome.

## Non-negotiables

These five rules outrank everything else in this skill:

1. **No invented numbers.** Every figure in an artifact either carries a
   citation tracing to `fact-base.md` (`[S#]` source, `[F#]` fact row, `[A#]`
   assumption) or is explicitly labelled `(assumption)`. Market sizes, growth rates, competitor revenues, cost
   benchmarks — research them (web search, user-provided documents, internal
   data the user supplies). A confident fabricated number is the single worst
   failure mode of an AI strategy adviser, because it looks exactly like the
   real thing.
2. **Facts before analysis.** Elicit the decision context from the executive
   and build the fact base before running any framework. A framework applied
   to guesses produces confident nonsense.
3. **Three genuine options before a recommendation.** Not one option and two
```
