What it does
Strategy Memo is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a strategy memo that commits to a bet and says what you won't do. Use when asked to write a strategy memo, articulate a strategy, make the case for a strategic direction, or align the team on where to focus. Produces a strategy memo — the strategic question, the diagnosis, the bet/approach, why now, explicit non-goals (what we're NOT doing), how we'll know it's working, and the risks.
Its SKILL.md is about 920 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to write a strategy memo
- Articulate a strategy
- Make the case for a strategic direction
- Align the team on where to focus
Example prompts
- “re NOT doing), how we”
- “/strategy-memo”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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.
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
Strategy Memo loads about 917 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 495 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- strategy-memo
- description
- Write a strategy memo that commits to a bet and says what you won't do. Use when asked to write a strategy memo, articulate a strategy, make the case for a strategic direction, or align the team on where to focus. Produces a strategy memo — the strategic question, the diagnosis, the bet/approach, why now, explicit non-goals (what we're NOT doing), how we'll know it's working, and the risks.
Strategy Memo Skill
Strategy is choosing what not to do. A real strategy memo makes a bet and names the sacrifices; a fake one is a list of goals everyone already agreed with. This skill follows the diagnosis → guiding policy → coherent actions structure, forces explicit non-goals, and ties the bet to leading indicators — so the team is aligned on a direction sharp enough to be wrong.
Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- The strategic question — the choice or challenge this memo resolves.
- The situation — the honest diagnosis: the market, the competition, your real position and constraints.
- The bet — the approach you're choosing and what it's betting on being true.
- The trade-offs — what you'll deliberately not do or de-prioritise to make the bet.
Output Format
Strategy Memo: [the strategic question]
1. The question — the strategic choice being made, in one sentence.
2. Diagnosis — the honest read of the situation: what's really going on, the few factors that matter most, and your true position (not the aspirational one). A strategy built on a flattering diagnosis fails.
3. The bet (guiding policy) — the chosen approach and, explicitly, what it assumes is true. This is the spine — everything else serves it.
4. Why now — why this is the right bet at this moment (the window, the catalyst), not last year or next.
5. What we're NOT doing — the explicit non-goals and de-prioritisations. If this list is empty, it isn't a strategy — it's a wish list.
6. Coherent actions — the few moves that follow from the bet and reinforce each other (not a laundry list of everything).
7. How we'll know — the leading indicators that tell you the bet is working (or not) early, and the conditions under which you'd reconsider.
8. Risks — what could make the bet wrong, and which assumptions to validate first.

Quality Checks
- The diagnosis is honest about the real position, not aspirational
- The bet states what it assumes to be true — it's falsifiable
- There's an explicit "what we're NOT doing" list with real sacrifices
- The actions are few and coherent (mutually reinforcing), not an everything-list
- Leading indicators are named so you learn early whether it's working
- "Why now" is answered — the timing is justified
Anti-Patterns
- Do not write goals and call it strategy — "grow revenue, delight customers" is a wish list, not a bet
- Do not skip the non-goals — a strategy that sacrifices nothing commits to nothing
- Do not build on a flattering diagnosis — naming the uncomfortable truth is the hardest and most important part
- Do not list every initiative — coherent actions reinforce one bet; a long list dilutes it
- Do not leave the bet unfalsifiable — if no evidence could prove it wrong, it can't be pressure-tested
Based On
Good Strategy / Bad Strategy (Richard Rumelt) — diagnosis, guiding policy, coherent action; and the discipline of explicit non-goals.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Write a strategy memo."
