What does this skill do?

The Consultant skill helps an agent produce structured strategy work in markdown — problem decomposition, issue trees, hypothesis development, and validation planning.

It offers three architectural approaches — McKinsey issue trees, BCG Strategic Prism lenses, and Bain option maps — with complete engagement processes, quality gates, and artifacts for each.

It selects frameworks across strategy domains (market sizing, competitive positioning, pricing, M&A, risk, and more), adapts analysis to different industries, and hands off to document and deck tools for final packaging.

  • Structures problems with MECE decomposition and issue trees

  • Applies McKinsey, BCG, or Bain engagement methodologies

  • Produces executive summaries, decision memos, and storyboards

  • Calibrates analysis to specific industries
