Why this exists

Consulting runs on structured thinking. Hypothesis trees, framework applications, governance cadences: the scaffolding is the same every time. This plugin encodes that scaffolding so you can focus on the parts that actually require judgment.

It covers seven phases of engagement work:

1. Win the work: RFP analysis, proposals, SOWs, pitch decks
2. Stand up the engagement: kickoff, governance, stakeholder mapping
3. Do the analysis: frameworks, market research, financial modeling, due diligence
4. Build the strategy: options generation, business cases, roadmaps
5. Plan the execution: implementation, change management, org design, process improvement
6. Deliver the artifacts: presentations, reports, workshops, thought leadership
7. Run the project: status reports, risk registers, project close-out

Every command works standalone with web search and your own context. Connect MCP servers (Slack, Jira, Google Drive, etc.) and they get better.

Example Workflows

Commands chain together. A few common sequences:

Strategy engagement

/kickoff [Project Name] [Client]

Define the charter and governance, then work through:

/stakeholder-map → /discovery → /framework-apply → /market-analysis
→ /financial-analysis → /options-generate → /business-case → /roadmap-create

Transformation program

/discovery Current state operations assessment for [Client]

Assess current state, then:

/org-design → /process-improve → /implementation-plan → /change-plan
→ /status-report (weekly) → /project-close

Pursuit / BD

/rfp-analyze [paste RFP content]

Analyze the opportunity, then:

/proposal-develop → /sow-create → /pitch-deck → /pricing-model

MCP Integrations

Every command works out of the box with web search and whatever context you provide. Connect MCP servers to give commands access to real data.

Capability	Without MCP	With MCP
Analysis	Web search + your input	Data warehouse, BI dashboards
Financial models	Describe your assumptions	Excel files, financial databases
Presentations	Describe what you need	PowerPoint, Google Slides
Market research	Web search	Industry databases, CRM data
Project management	Paste your status	Jira, Confluence, project tools

See CONNECTORS.md for integration details.

Settings

Create .claude/settings.local.json in the plugin directory to set defaults:

{
  "firm": {
    "name": "Your Firm",
    "methodology": "hypothesis-driven",
    "standard_frameworks": ["competitive", "environmental", "organizational"]
  },
  "engagement_defaults": {
    "pricing_model": "value-based",
    "reporting_format": "executive-summary"
  }
}

If these aren't set, commands will ask you interactively.

Heads up

This plugin produces structured consulting outputs: frameworks, analyses, plans, deliverables. Everything should be reviewed by someone who knows the client context before it goes anywhere near a steering committee.
