Use for strategic thinking, or when the user must choose a direction under constraints: "where should we focus?", "how do we win?", "roadmap for next year", "what should we not do?". Ends in explicit bets and risks. Skip for step-by-step implementation.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Strategic Thinking Strategy is choosing what **not** to do as much as what to do.

If the user wants a memo or deck storyline, add a **Short story** after Risks and Cadence (5-7 sentences: tension, insight, decision, proof path). ## Phases ### 1. Intent …

How to install
mdr add ysskrishna/ai-agent-skills/strategic-thinking@sha256:59e9dcb3505dd82dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2026.10.5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
