## What it does

The skill runs in four modes: SWOT analysis, business plan (lean or full), OKRs and goals, competitive analysis. It starts by asking which document you need. If you are unsure, it asks what decision you are trying to make and picks the mode from your answer. Then it gathers context: industry, team size, competitors, time horizon, and who the document is for — your team, a board, investors, or a bank.

The quality bar is strict. Every statement has to be falsifiable. Not "strong team" but how many developers and what they have shipped. Not "growing market" but a number with a source. After the draft, the skill reviews each entry and rewrites anything that would fit any company in the industry. A SWOT gets an implications section: which strengths line up against which opportunities, which weaknesses are exposed by which threats. Without that section the 2x2 grid is just sorting.

In a business plan, financial projections must state their assumptions — a revenue figure without growth rate and churn is not accepted. The full format adds market analysis, a 12-month P&L, the team, and milestones for 3, 6 and 12 months. One thing to know: the skill expects a conversation, not a one-line prompt. If you skip the questions about competitors and horizon, it will keep pulling context out of you.

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/jezweb/claude-skills/tree/HEAD/plugins/writing/skills/strategy-document/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a SWOT with implications instead of four empty quadrants
- set quarterly OKRs with key results that carry a number
- write a one-page lean business plan for a team or an investor
- map competitors and find where the market leaves room
- turn vague claims into falsifiable statements with figures

## Example prompts
- Do a SWOT for our studio: three React developers, revenue down two quarters, a competitor launched a free tier
- Write OKRs for next quarter for a team of five, goal is 50 paying customers
- Build a one-page lean business plan for a bank, with 12-month projections

description: "Write structured strategic documents for small and medium businesses: SWOT analyses, lean business plans, OKRs, competitive analyses. Each mode has a defined structure and quality bar. Use whenever a business asks to articulate strategy, set goals, analyse competition, plan for growth, do a SWOT, write OKRs, or build a lean business plan. Produces actionable documents, not generic frameworks."

# Strategy Document Writer

Produces strategic documents that are specific enough to act on. The quality bar: every statement should be falsifiable ("We have 3 React developers with 10+ years experience" vs "We have a strong team") and every recommendation should be implementable within a defined timeframe.

## Process

### Step 1: Determine the mode

Ask the user which document type they need:

1. **SWOT analysis** — assess current position
2. **Business plan** (lean or full) — articulate the business model
3. **OKRs / Goals** — set measurable objectives
4. **Competitive analysis** — understand the market landscape

If the user is unsure, ask what decision they are trying to make. That usually reveals the right mode:
- "Should we enter this market?" -> Competitive analysis + SWOT
- "What should we focus on this quarter?" -> OKRs
- "We need funding / a partner deck" -> Business plan
- "Something feels off but I can't pinpoint it" -> SWOT

### Step 2: Gather context

Ask for:
- Business name, industry, size (team, revenue if comfortable sharing)
- Current situation (what prompted this exercise?)
- Key competitors (if known)
- Time horizon (this quarter, this year, 3-year)
- Audience for the document (internal team, board, investors, bank, personal clarity)

The audience determines the level of detail. A bank wants financial projections. A founder wants clarity. A team wants direction.

### Step 3: Draft and validate

Write the document, then review every entry against the specificity test: could this statement apply to any business in the industry? If yes, it is too vague. Rewrite with the user's specific context.

## Mode 1: SWOT Analysis

### Structure

Present as a 2x2 grid with 3-5 points per quadrant. Each point is one sentence — specific and actionable.
