Easy Mode — Ask Your AI for Help!

  1. Unzip the download
  2. Open any .md file (e.g. strategy-coach.md)
  3. Upload the file or paste the contents into your AI tool — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whatever you use — and ask how you can use it as a Skill / Custom GPT / Gem. Ask it to give you very simple instructions for installing.
  4. Ask it your questions. Most tools can either automatically install it for you or tell you exactly how to do it.

Advanced Installation

For power users: install the skills into your specific tool so they load automatically.

Claude Code

Terminal, VS Code, JetBrains

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/. Each skill gets its own folder with a SKILL.md file. Once placed, Claude Code auto-detects them and they appear as /slash-commands.

# Unzip first, then install all skills
cd strategyu-skills

for f in skills/*.md; do
  name=$(basename "$f" .md)
  mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/$name
  cp "$f" ~/.claude/skills/$name/SKILL.md
done

# Or install a single skill
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/strategy-coach
cp skills/strategy-coach.md ~/.claude/skills/strategy-coach/SKILL.md

Verify: open Claude Code and type /strategy-coach — it should autocomplete.

Claude.ai Chat

Web, Desktop

Works in any Claude.ai conversation or project via the Customize option.

  1. Open claude.ai and start a new conversation
  2. Click the Customize button (sliders icon) at the bottom of the chat
  3. Upload the .md file directly (e.g. strategy-coach.md, problem-framer.md)
  4. Claude will follow the methodology for that conversation

For Projects: click the project name, then Project Instructions, and paste the skill content there. Every conversation in that project will use it automatically.

Claude Cowork

Web

Add skills to a Cowork session for collaborative strategy work.

  1. Open a Cowork session on claude.ai
  2. Click Customize in the session settings
  3. Upload the skill file (e.g. strategy-coach.md) as context
  4. Claude will apply the frameworks as you work together on documents

Cursor

IDE

Cursor loads project rules from .cursor/rules/ automatically.

mkdir -p .cursor/rules
cp skills/strategy-coach.md .cursor/rules/strategy-coach.mdc
cp skills/problem-framer.md .cursor/rules/problem-framer.mdc
# Repeat for each skill you want

Windsurf

IDE

Windsurf's Cascade AI reads from .windsurf/rules/.

mkdir -p .windsurf/rules
cp skills/*.md .windsurf/rules/

OpenAI Codex

CLI

Codex reads from AGENTS.md in your project root or ~/.codex/AGENTS.md globally.

# Global (available in all projects)
cat skills/strategy-coach.md >> ~/.codex/AGENTS.md

# Or project-level
cat skills/strategy-coach.md >> ./AGENTS.md

GitHub Copilot

VS Code, JetBrains

Copilot Chat uses .github/copilot-instructions.md as context for every response.

mkdir -p .github
cat skills/strategy-coach.md >> .github/copilot-instructions.md

Gemini Code Assist

IDE, GitHub

Gemini reads from the .gemini/ directory in your repository.

mkdir -p .gemini
cp skills/*.md .gemini/

ChatGPT / Other AI Chat

Web, Desktop

For any AI chat that supports custom instructions or system prompts:

  1. Open the skill file you want to use (e.g. strategy-coach.md)
  2. Copy the full contents
  3. Paste into Custom Instructions, System Prompt, or the equivalent settings area
  4. The skill content works with any model — GPT-4, Gemini, Llama, etc.

Tips

  • Start with Strategy Coach if you want end-to-end guidance — it wraps all 5 other skills into one flow
  • Use individual skills when you know exactly what phase you're in (framing, structuring, communicating, writing, or slides)
  • Strategy Writing works great as a standalone editor — paste any text and it will clean up AI patterns
  • Templates: the 3 included .pptx files work with the Strategy Slides skill for actual deck creation

Recommended Models

These skills work with any model, but you'll get the best results with the most capable ones. Use extended thinking when available — it helps the model follow multi-step frameworks like SCQA and Pyramid Principle more faithfully.

  • Claude Opus 4.6 with extended thinking — best overall for these skills. Extended thinking lets Opus reason through issue trees and MECE structures before responding. Use in Claude Code or claude.ai.
  • Claude Sonnet 4.6 — faster and still excellent for writing, editing, and slide critique. Good for the Strategy Writing skill where speed matters more than deep reasoning.
  • GPT-5.4 Pro — strong at structured analysis and long-form writing. Works well with Problem Framer and Structure & Synthesize.
  • Gemini 3.1 Pro — handles long context well, good for synthesizing large research inputs. Works especially well with Structure & Synthesize when you have a lot of source material.
  • General rule: use the most capable model available to you. These skills push the model to follow strict methodology — weaker models may skip steps or flatten the structure.
