Operator-Grade Skills Framework for Service Business Operations

What this is

Six interlocking skills that run the full lifecycle of a TNDS engagement — from go/no-go decisions through discovery, sales, delivery, and documentation. Each skill is a methodology plus prompts, templates, and workflows a Claude-powered agent can follow step-by-step.

Built for operators running small service businesses or consulting engagements. Not a marketing framework. Not theory. The playbook Jacob uses daily.

What it does

• Bearing Check — 8-checkpoint decision validation. Runs before any major commitment.
• ARO Assessment — Agent-Ready Operations evaluation. Scores AI/automation fit.
• World Model Mapper — 5-phase process mapping. Surfaces the gap between the stated process and the real one.
• Direction Protocol — 5-stage sales process: IDENTIFY, DIAGNOSE, DESIGN, PROPOSE, CLOSE.
• Command Protocol — 12-phase delivery system. Turns a signed agreement into a shipped Command Center.
• Documentation Skill — Generates proposals, agreements, SOPs, and client-facing deliverables.

            World Model Mapper runs underneath
            any skill that needs process depth.

Quick start

This repo is documentation. Clone it, then point Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any Claude-powered agent at the skill folder you need:

git clone https://github.com/TNDS-Command-Center/IntellStack.git
cd IntellStack

Each skill has its own SKILL.md and USER_MANUAL.md. Read the SKILL.md first — that is the contract. The USER_MANUAL shows it in use.
