Runs a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) caveat-first. It leads with the weak evidence (Hill and Westbrook 1997 found real SWOT grids did not amount to analysis), then forces the discipline a bare grid lacks, namely evidence-tagged and prioritized factors plus a TOWS matching step that turns the four lists into strategic options. Use only when a SWOT or TOWS is asked for by name; for genuine situation decomposition prefer think-issue-tree.
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.

<!-- thinking-framework-skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills | Apache-2.0 --> # SWOT SWOT sorts a situation into four boxes: internal Strengths and Weaknesses, external Opportunities and Threats. It is famous and frequently requested, and its evidence is weak: the most-cited field study found that bare SWOT grids "did not constitute analysis." This skill runs SWOT honestly. It leads with that caveat, then forces the three things a bare grid omits and that make it worth running at all: each factor tagged as evidence or assumption, each list prioritized to a few load-bearing items, and a TOWS matching step that converts the four lists into named strategic options. The output is a disciplined SWOT plus a TOWS option set, not a long undifferentiated list. ## Before you run this: the evidence caveat …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-swot@sha256:3c44ef43c22262a4The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
