What problem does it solve? Most strategy memos fail because they drift across multiple competing claims, bury the ask, and collapse under the first skeptical executive question. This Skill turns a brief, transcript, or thesis into a decision-forcing memo with a single governing thought, disciplined argument structure, and pre-empted objections before any leader reads it. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Minto Pyramid enforcement: Forces one governing thought, 3-5 MECE supporting arguments, and source-anchored evidence, confirmed with you before any prose is drafted. - Working Backwards stress-test: Generates the 10 hardest questions a skeptical exec would ask, grades each as ANSWERED/PARTIAL/NOT ADDRESSED, and blocks shipping until the memo holds up. - Fresh-Claude reader test: Spawns a context-free sub-agent to verify the ask, argument, and objection handling are intelligible to a reader with no prior context. - Use Case: You have a discovery brief and need leadership to approve a positioning shift. The skill gathers audience and objection context, builds a pyramid sketch for your approval, drafts section-by-section with curated angles, stress-tests it, and delivers a memo plus an auditable method file. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to draft a strategy memo from your brief file for a leadership audience, for example: "Use pm-strategy-memo to turn brief-positioning.md into a standard-length decision memo for the exec team."
