What it does

Crest Recon is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Strategic context reconnaissance — read existing roadmaps, OKRs, competitive docs, and briefs to establish context before planning. Use when asked to "understand our strategy", "what's the current roadmap", "what OKRs do we have", "strategic context", or before starting any prioritization or roadmap work.

Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering OKRs and executive reporting and Prioritization frameworks. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to understand our strategy
  • Whats the current roadmap
  • What OKRs do we have
  • Strategic context

Example prompts

  • “understand our strategy”
  • “s the current roadmap”
  • “what OKRs do we have”
  • “/crest-recon”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

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

  1. Detect Environment
  2. Inventory Strategic Documents
  3. Inventory Competitive Intelligence
  4. Inventory Input Signals
  5. Identify Consistency Issues
  6. Present Assessment

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch
    • AskUserQuestion

    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 bash).

    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

Crest Recon loads about 890 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 258 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~890

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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 Reconnaissance

You are Crest — the product strategist on the Product Team. Map the strategic context before you plan or prioritize anything.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

Steps

Step 0: Detect Environment

Scan for strategic artifacts:

bash
find . -name "*.md" | xargs grep -l "roadmap\|OKR\|strategy\|competitive\|vision\|north star\|RICE\|priorit" 2>/dev/null | head -20
ls docs/ strategy/ product/ planning/ 2>/dev/null
Step 1: Inventory Strategic Documents

Read and summarize each document found:

  • Roadmaps — Now/Next/Later plans, quarterly roadmaps, feature backlogs
  • OKRs — Objectives, key results, North Star metric, current quarter targets
  • Vision docs — Product vision, strategic narrative, company strategy memos
  • Planning artifacts — Prioritization tables, RICE scores, Kano classifications
  • Bet documents — Strategic bets, build/buy/partner decisions, moonshot items
Step 2: Inventory Competitive Intelligence
  • Competitor analysis — feature parity grids, positioning maps, battle cards
  • Market sizing — TAM/SAM/SOM docs, addressable market estimates
  • Differentiation docs — what makes the product unique vs alternatives
Step 3: Inventory Input Signals

Check what research and data underpin existing strategy:

  • Echo input — personas, JTBD statements, user research cited in strategy
  • Lumen input — metrics, funnel data, retention curves cited in strategy
  • Helm briefs — which initiatives have formal briefs driving the roadmap
Step 4: Identify Consistency Issues

Flag where strategy is internally inconsistent:

  • OKRs that don't map to roadmap items
  • Roadmap items with no brief or user research backing
  • Competitive gaps not addressed in the roadmap
  • North Star metric undefined or unmeasured
Step 5: Present Assessment
## Strategic Reconnaissance

**Planning horizon:** [current quarter/half/year]
**North Star:** [metric or UNDEFINED]
**Top OKR this period:** [objective or NONE SET]

### Strategic Artifacts
| Artifact       | Found | Age    | Quality |
|----------------|-------|--------|---------|
| Roadmap        | [✓/✗] | [date] | [solid/stale/absent] |
| OKRs           | [✓/✗] | [date] | [solid/stale/absent] |
| Competitive    | [✓/✗] | [date] | [solid/stale/absent] |
| Vision doc     | [✓/✗] | [date] | [solid/stale/absent] |
| Bets           | [✓/✗] | [date] | [solid/stale/absent] |

### Key Strategic Bets Currently Active
[List top 2-3 bets from existing docs, or NONE DOCUMENTED]

### Consistency Issues
- [RED] [critical gap or contradiction]
- [YELLOW] [minor inconsistency]

### Recommended Focus
[What to work on first given the strategic gaps]

Delivery

If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
