What's changed

The skills improve as more people use them. Buy once — updates are free.

April 22, 2026
  • Memos now explicitly use the Pyramid Principle — governing thought first, insight-statement section headers, first-sentence test.
  • Emails bold the insights (not keywords) so bolded fragments read as a standalone three-second summary.
  • New AI pattern: lazy descriptors like "thinner," "tighter," "softer" used as the main point. Now flagged and rewritten with the insight stated plainly.
  • Skills now ask about audience stance (supportive, skeptical, opposed) before writing from scratch — not just audience role.
April 20, 2026
  • Hypotheses are questions, not answers — rewrote Problem Framer Step 3 and Strategy Coach issue-tree guidance.
  • Added a red-flag check for hypotheses framed as conclusions.
April 17, 2026
  • Added Claude Chat / Cowork guidance — use strategy-coach.md as a single file when the tool only accepts one upload.
  • Split downloads into two zips: Claude Code edition and Chat & Other Tools edition.
April 15, 2026
  • Added five new AI-writing patterns across all skills: forced metaphors, awkward verb-noun pairings, nominalization, anthropomorphizing, fake precision.
  • Never use pie charts, no takeaway boxes, insights lead as titles. Skip section dividers on decks under 15 slides.
