SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning a vague business question into a structured, consultant-grade research report and presentation normally takes days of manual framework building, data gathering, and slide design. This Skill systematizes the McKinsey Problem Solving methodology into an 8-step workflow that goes from problem definition to a finished McKinsey-style PPT. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Hypothesis-Driven Analysis: Defines problem boundaries, builds MECE Issue Trees, and forms testable Hypothesis Trees with quick web searches. - Dummy Page Design: Plans each slide's argument, layout (7 McKinsey layout types), chart type, data requirements, and cross-page dependencies before generation. - Page-by-Page Generation: Collects data via web search, records sources in a structured Excel workbook, and generates slides iteratively with self-checks and breakpoint resume support. - Use Case: Ask it to analyze growth opportunities in China's EV charging market, and it produces an Issue Tree, hypotheses, a Dummy Pages plan, and a 15-25 page McKinsey-style PPT with sourced data. ## Quick Start Use the mck-consult skill to analyze the growth drivers of China's new energy vehicle market and produce a McKinsey-style PPT.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a McKinsey-style PPT from a business problem?

State your business question and ask to use the mck-consult skill. It defines problem boundaries, builds an Issue Tree and hypotheses, designs Dummy Pages, then collects data and generates slides page by page with source-tracked Excel data.

What is the workflow for hypothesis-driven market analysis?

The workflow has three phases: build a Hypotheses Tree (problem definition, MECE Issue Tree, hypotheses), design Dummy Pages (argument method and layout per page), then collect data via web search and generate the PPT page by page with self-checks.

Can I continue PPT generation in a new conversation?

Yes. Upload the project's Dummy Pages markdown file plus any completed PPT and Excel files, then specify the page to continue from. Page dependency annotations tell the skill which prerequisites must be satisfied before generating each page.

How long does generating a consulting-style report take?

A full run takes about 90-110 minutes, including roughly 35 minutes of user interaction. The skill can stably produce 20-25 slides in a single conversation thanks to on-demand reference loading and page-by-page context clearing.

What are the limitations of automated McKinsey PPT generation?

Data quality depends on web search results, so estimated figures are marked with lower confidence in the Excel workbook. Complex projects may still require iterative optimization rounds for layout issues like text overflow or element overlap.
