Stress-test a product strategy with two explicit checks, Rumelt's kernel test and the Playing-to-Win "what would have to be true" test, plus a durability check against the seven powers. Use when a strategy draft needs review before signature, when leadership suspects it is a goals slide, when the roadmap contains bets the strategy cannot explain, or before annual planning copies last year's strategy forward. Takes the strategy document and its evidence links; returns a verdict per check, the…
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
# Strategy Critic: strategy or slogan, decided in writing Most strategy documents are goals with adjectives: "be the leading platform", "delight customers", "win the mid-market". They exclude nothing, so they guide nothing, and the roadmap gets decided by whoever argued loudest. This skill runs two named tests that a goals slide cannot pass, and returns the document with its gaps marked rather than its prose polished. ## Files this skill drives - [../../templates/planning/product-strategy.md](../../templates/planning/product-strategy.md), where the passed strategy lands section by section - The worksheets for checks 1, 2, and 3, in order: [../../frameworks/strategy/strategy-kernel.md](../../frameworks/strategy/strategy-kernel.md), [../../frameworks/strategy/playing-to-win.md](../../frameworks/strategy/playing-to-win.md), [../../frameworks/strategy/seven-powers-audit.md](../../frameworks/strategy/seven-powers-audit.md) - Reads [../../templates/planning/roadmap.md](../../templates/planning/roadmap.md) for the bets the strategy must explain; sends unevidenced conditions to [../../templates/execution/risk-register.md](../../templates/execution/risk-register.md) …

How to install
mdr add rizwanzafaris/product-manager-os/strategy-critic@sha256:b286fc7841a05ed6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.2bf6847, 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.
