What it does

Strategic Management Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins. Frameworks for strategic planning, resource allocation, and organizational an...

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Startup and business strategy. The repository describes itself as: 350+ academic research skills, MCP configs, and plugins for Research-Claw and AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Startup and business strategy

Example prompts

  • “Use the strategic-management-guide skill to framework for strategic planning, resource allocation, and organizational an..”
  • “/strategic-management-guide”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Environmental Scanning
  2. Strategy Formulation
  3. Strategy Evaluation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf44b3c. 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 python and yaml).

    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

Strategic Management Guide loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 308 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Strategic Management Guide

A research-oriented skill for applying strategic management theories and frameworks to academic case studies, organizational analysis, and business research. Covers classical and contemporary strategy frameworks with rigorous analytical methods.

Core Strategic Frameworks

Resource-Based View (RBV)

The RBV framework (Barney, 1991) evaluates competitive advantage through internal resources and capabilities. Apply the VRIO test:

CriterionQuestionIf "No"
ValuableDoes it exploit opportunity or neutralize threat?Competitive disadvantage
RareIs it controlled by few firms?Competitive parity
InimitableIs it costly to imitate?Temporary advantage
OrganizedIs the firm organized to capture value?Unrealized advantage

All four "Yes" answers indicate a sustained competitive advantage.

python
# VRIO analysis scoring framework
def vrio_analysis(resources: list[dict]) -> dict:
    results = {}
    for r in resources:
        name = r['name']
        v, r_score, i, o = r['valuable'], r['rare'], r['inimitable'], r['organized']
        if not v:
            results[name] = 'competitive_disadvantage'
        elif not r_score:
            results[name] = 'competitive_parity'
        elif not i:
            results[name] = 'temporary_advantage'
        elif not o:
            results[name] = 'unrealized_advantage'
        else:
            results[name] = 'sustained_advantage'
    return results

# Example usage
resources = [
    {'name': 'proprietary_algorithm', 'valuable': True, 'rare': True, 'inimitable': True, 'organized': True},
    {'name': 'office_space', 'valuable': True, 'rare': False, 'inimitable': False, 'organized': True},
]
print(vrio_analysis(resources))
# {'proprietary_algorithm': 'sustained_advantage', 'office_space': 'competitive_parity'}

Strategic Planning Process

A structured approach to strategy formulation for research purposes:

Phase 1: Environmental Scanning
  • External analysis: PESTEL (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, Legal)
  • Industry analysis: Porter's Five Forces with quantified metrics
  • Stakeholder mapping: Power-interest matrix to prioritize engagement
Phase 2: Strategy Formulation

Apply Ansoff's Growth Matrix to map strategic options:

                Existing Products    New Products
Existing Markets  Market Penetration   Product Development
New Markets       Market Development   Diversification

For academic research, operationalize each quadrant with measurable indicators: market share growth rate, R&D investment ratio, geographic expansion metrics, and portfolio diversification index.

Phase 3: Strategy Evaluation

Use the SAFe criteria (Johnson, Whittington & Scholes):

  1. Suitability -- Does the strategy address key strategic issues?
  2. Acceptability -- Risk, return, and stakeholder reactions
  3. Feasibility -- Resources, capabilities, and timeline

Balanced Scorecard Implementation

Translate strategy into measurable objectives across four perspectives:

yaml
financial:
  objectives:
    - "Increase revenue by 15% YoY"
    - "Reduce cost-to-serve by 10%"
  kpis: ["revenue_growth_rate", "operating_margin"]

customer:
  objectives:
    - "Achieve NPS > 50"
    - "Reduce churn below 5%"
  kpis: ["net_promoter_score", "monthly_churn_rate"]

internal_process:
  objectives:
    - "Reduce cycle time by 20%"
    - "Achieve 99.9% uptime"
  kpis: ["avg_cycle_time_days", "system_uptime_pct"]

learning_growth:
  objectives:
    - "Increase training hours per employee"
    - "Launch 3 new capabilities per quarter"
  kpis: ["training_hours_per_fte", "new_capabilities_shipped"]

Quantitative Strategy Tools

Game Theory Applications

Model competitive interactions using payoff matrices:

python
import numpy as np

# Prisoner's Dilemma payoff matrix
# (Row player payoff, Column player payoff)
# Strategies: Cooperate (0), Defect (1)
payoffs_row = np.array([[3, 0],
                         [5, 1]])
payoffs_col = np.array([[3, 5],
                         [0, 1]])

# Find Nash equilibria
for i in range(2):
    for j in range(2):
        row_best = payoffs_row[i, j] >= max(payoffs_row[:, j])
        col_best = payoffs_col[i, j] >= max(payoffs_col[i, :])
        if row_best and col_best:
            print(f"Nash Equilibrium at ({i}, {j})")
Scenario Planning

Structure scenario analysis with two critical uncertainties on perpendicular axes. Develop four internally consistent narratives, assign probability weights, and compute expected values for key decision variables. This approach enables robust strategy under deep uncertainty.
