Strategy Brief

This is an OMH strategy-brief workflow skill, projected for Agent Skills hosts (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, OpenClaw, pi).

Why This Exists

strategy-brief exists to keep strategy work explicit, evidence-backed, and inside the Hermes/executor boundary instead of relying on ad hoc chat narration.

Do Not Use When

• The strategic question is whether an early idea's customer problem and segment are real, and no validated discovery receipt exists yet; use omh-product-discovery-validation.
• The question is how to run a hiring process, scorecards, interview loops, candidate comparison, rather than whether to hire at all; use omh-people-ops.
• The user wants Jev's typed probabilities for a yes/no, pick-one, or scored question over supplied text rather than tradeoffs and a recommendation.

Examples

Good example:

• Prompt: strategy-brief: decide whether our onboarding should prioritize solo founders or enterprise buyers.
• Expected behavior: Frame options, tradeoffs, assumptions, rejected paths, and the decision evidence needed.
• Why: The request is strategy-shaped and should not jump directly into implementation.

Bad example:

• Prompt: strategy-brief: treat casual chat or unaccepted work as if this workflow already produced verified results.
• Expected behavior: Ask a clarification question or route to a narrower workflow instead of forcing strategy-brief.
• Why: The request lacks the required inputs or would overclaim work that Hermes did not observe.

Completion Checklist

• The decision, options, tradeoffs, assumptions, and rejected alternatives are named.
• Observed signals are separated from strategic inference.
• Accepted decisions and implementation follow-ups are not conflated.

Recovery Notes

• If evidence is mostly assumption, label it and recommend a research or feedback-triage pass.
• If the decision owner is missing, keep the output as options rather than accepted strategy.
