Biz Lean Six Sigma

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user needs to improve operational efficiency
• Identify the seven wastes (TIMWOOD)
• Run DMAIC improvement projects
• Streamline workflows — even if they say our process is too slow

Example prompts

• “our process is too slow”
• “where are we wasting resources”
• “how do we reduce defects”
• “/biz-lean-six-sigma”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Define: What is the problem? Who is the customer? What is the target metric?
2. 2Measure: What is the current performance? Collect data on defect rate, cycle time, variation.
3. 3Analyze: What causes the problem? Use root cause analysis (5 Whys, fishbone diagram, Pareto chart).
4. 4Improve: What changes will fix it? Design and test solutions.
5. 5Control: How to sustain the improvement? Implement monitoring, SOPs, control charts.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7f4f8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Biz Lean Six Sigma loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 416 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~94

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.3k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Apply Lean and Six Sigma principles to eliminate waste and reduce process variation. Use this skill when the user needs to improve operational efficiency, identify the seven wastes (TIMWOOD), run DMAIC improvement projects, or streamline workflows — even if they say 'our process is too slow', 'where are we wasting resources', or 'how do we reduce defects'.

IRON LAW: Value Is Defined by the CUSTOMER, Not the Producer

An activity adds value ONLY if: (1) the customer is willing to pay for it,
(2) it transforms the product/service, AND (3) it's done right the first time.
If any condition fails, the activity is waste — eliminate or minimize it.

# Lean Six Sigma Analysis: {Process}

## Current State
- Process: {description}
- Key metric: {defect rate / cycle time / cost}
- Current performance: {baseline data}

## Waste Identification (TIMWOOD)
| Waste Type | Found? | Description | Impact |
|-----------|--------|-------------|--------|
| Transportation | Y/N | {detail} | H/M/L |
| Inventory | Y/N | ... | ... |
| Motion | Y/N | ... | ... |
| Waiting | Y/N | ... | ... |
| Over-production | Y/N | ... | ... |
| Over-processing | Y/N | ... | ... |
| Defects | Y/N | ... | ... |

## Root Cause Analysis
{5 Whys or fishbone diagram for top waste}

## Improvement Plan (DMAIC)
| Phase | Action | Owner | Timeline |
|-------|--------|-------|----------|
| Define | {problem statement} | ... | ... |
| Measure | {data collection plan} | ... | ... |
| Analyze | {root cause method} | ... | ... |
| Improve | {solution} | ... | ... |
| Control | {monitoring plan} | ... | ... |

## Expected Impact
- {metric}: {current} → {target} ({X% improvement})
