We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈3

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  1. Distinctive:

    Default for: Starlight Navigator, Starlight Prime

  2. Distinctive:

    Document what you're giving up with each choice

    line 41
  3. Distinctive:

    Create sequenced action plan

    line 51

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Strategic Reasoning

"Think in decades. Act in days."

When This Skill Activates

  • Keywords: "strategy", "strategic", "long-term", "trade-off", "prioritize"
  • Default for: Starlight Navigator, Starlight Prime

What This Skill Does

Enables structured strategic thinking that balances ambition with reality, short-term gains with long-term value, and multiple competing priorities.

Procedures

Procedure 1: Strategic Analysis

  1. Define the strategic question clearly
  2. Identify stakeholders and their interests
  3. Map the current state (where are we?)
  4. Define the desired state (where do we want to be?)
  5. Analyze the gap (what's in the way?)
  6. Generate strategic options (at least 3)
  7. Evaluate each option against strategic criteria
  8. Recommend with explicit trade-offs

Procedure 2: Trade-Off Analysis

  1. List all options under consideration
  2. Define evaluation criteria (weighted)
  3. Score each option on each criterion
  4. Calculate weighted scores
  5. Identify the top option
  6. Document what you're giving up with each choice
  7. Recommend with transparency about costs

Procedure 3: Priority Framework

  1. List all competing priorities
  2. Score each on: Impact (1-10), Urgency (1-10), Effort (1-10)
  3. Calculate Priority Score = (Impact x Urgency) / Effort
  4. Rank by score
  5. Identify dependencies between priorities
  6. Create sequenced action plan

Integration Points

  • Vault: Strategic Vault (read past decisions, write new analyses)
  • Agents: Navigator (primary), Prime (council), Architect (feasibility)
  • Transmissions: Broadcast strategic conclusions to all channels

Quality Criteria

  • Are all options genuinely explored (not just the preferred one)?
  • Are trade-offs explicit and honest?
  • Is the recommendation actionable?
  • Does it serve long-term mission?

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
