What it does

Scpr Framework is an agent skill from sruthir28/enterprise-ai-skills. SCPR (Situation-Complication-Problem-Recommendation) framework for structured problem solving and executive communication. Use when users need to structure strategic arguments, analyze business situations, create executive summaries, or develop clear problem statements using McKinsey-style communication. Apply when structuring recommendations, writing memos, or organizing strategic thinking.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Writing & Content, covering Summarization. The repository describes itself as: Open-source AI skills for enterprise professionals. McKinsey consulting frameworks, PM workflows, and practical tools. Currently for Claude, expanding to other LLMs. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Users need to structure strategic arguments
  • Analyze business situations
  • Create executive summaries
  • Develop clear problem statements using McKinsey-style communication

Example prompts

  • “/scpr-framework”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Product: Launch AI-native workflow engine by Q2 2025
  2. Positioning: Shift from "project management" to "AI-augmented agency operations" by Q1 2025
  3. Pricing: Introduce usage-based AI tier by Q2 2025

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae8fe60. 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

Scpr Framework loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 540 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

SCPR (Situation-Complication-Problem-Recommendation) framework for structured problem solving and executive communication.

Apply when structuring recommendations, writing memos, or organizing strategic thinking.

SCPR Framework

A structured approach to problem-solving and executive communication used in management consulting.

Framework Components

S - Situation: Current state of the market/business

  • What is the lay of the land?
  • Establish baseline context
  • Describe the stable environment before changes

C - Complication: Recent shift or change

  • What has changed recently?
  • New market dynamics (AI boom, regulatory changes, competitive threats)
  • The catalyst that creates urgency

P - Problem: Crisp question to solve

  • What specific strategic question must be answered?
  • Common examples: "How to grow revenue?", "How to enter new market?", "How to reduce costs?"
  • Must be specific and answerable

R - Recommendation: Proposed actions

  • What should be done and by when?
  • Priority actions to address the problem
  • Can be structured as issue tree branches (doesn't have to be only high-priority items)
  • Specific, actionable, time-bound

Core Principles

MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive)

  • Recommendations should not overlap
  • Together they should cover all necessary actions
  • Each recommendation addresses distinct aspect of the problem

Clarity

  • Each section should be concise
  • Problem statement must be answerable
  • Recommendations must be actionable

Example: Tech Startup Product Pivot

Situation Series B SaaS startup with $15M ARR selling project management software to creative agencies and marketing firms. Product focuses on task management, resource allocation, and client collaboration. 200 agency customers with average contract size $75K. Historically strong product-market fit with 25% YoY growth and 90% gross retention.

Complication AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, Notion AI, and Claude emerging as workflow automation alternatives. Customer usage metrics declining 15% over last 6 months. Exit interviews reveal agencies using AI for project briefs, status updates, and resource planning - core features of current product. Three enterprise deals ($500K pipeline) paused citing "evaluating AI-first solutions."

Problem How should we reposition the product and business model to return to 25%+ growth within 12 months while competing against general-purpose AI tools?

Recommendations

  1. Product: Launch AI-native workflow engine by Q2 2025

    • Integrate LLM for automated project scoping and task breakdown
    • AI-powered resource matching based on skills and availability
    • Differentiate on agency-specific context (brand guidelines, client history, creative workflows)
  2. Positioning: Shift from "project management" to "AI-augmented agency operations" by Q1 2025

    • Rebrand messaging around AI that understands agency workflows
    • Emphasize integration advantages over general tools
    • Target gap: ChatGPT lacks agency-specific memory and processes
  3. Pricing: Introduce usage-based AI tier by Q2 2025

    • Base platform remains flat fee ($75K)
    • AI features charged per automation/generation
    • Capture value from high-usage customers, protect downside

Usage Patterns

When creating SCPR structure:

  1. Start with Situation (establish baseline)
  2. Identify Complication (what changed?)
  3. Frame Problem as specific question
  4. Develop MECE Recommendations with timeline

When analyzing existing content:

  1. Extract facts into S/C/P/R categories
  2. Test Problem for specificity
  3. Verify Recommendations are MECE
  4. Add timelines if missing

When reviewing SCPR:

  • Is Situation necessary context only (not exhaustive)?
  • Is Complication recent and urgent?
  • Is Problem answerable and specific?
  • Are Recommendations mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive?
  • Does each Recommendation include "by when"?

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Situation too detailed: Keep to essential context only
  • Complication = Problem: They're different. Complication is "what changed", Problem is "what question to solve"
  • Vague Problem: "Improve business" is too broad. "Increase revenue 40% in 12 months" is specific
  • Overlapping Recommendations: Ensure MECE structure
  • No timelines: Always include "by when" in Recommendations
