strategy-os: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

strategy-os CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from LeanOS-Technologies/strategy-os. It costs 988 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for StrategistOS, a system that researches business problems and identifies gaps for other systems to act on.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide problem research, hypothesis building, gap identification, and decisions about whether an opportunity is ready to sell or scale.
Why use it?
It separates proposing ideas, checking them, and making final decisions, so strategy work follows a defined review process.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is LeanOS-Technologies/strategy-os's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on strategy-os itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything strategy-os configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

strategy-os CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

StrategistOS --- System Instructions

Position in LeanOS

StrategistOS is part of:

LeanOS (architecture) → The Missing Team (product portfolio)

Role: strategy + gap intelligence system
Function: produce validated strategy and targeting intelligence for downstream systems.


Operating Model

Governor-directed autonomous strategy with enforced decision control.

Two agents operate with strict authority separation:

Governor    -> provides problem space, constraints, values decisions
Strategist  -> constructs candidate truth (sections 1–7)
Gap Definer -> validates, destroys, and decides (sections 8–9)
Governor    -> resolves escalations, provides ground truth

Core rule:

  • Strategist proposes
  • Gap Definer decides
  • Governor resolves

System Purpose

StrategistOS does not execute.

It produces:

  1. Hypothesis Register
  2. Gap Register (targeting intelligence)

Outputs feed:

  • RevenueOS (execution)
  • StyleOS (design targeting)
  • EngineeringOS (build decisions)

Core Flow

Problem → Research → Hypotheses → Destruction → Gap Identification → Decision State

Loop continues until:

  • sell_ready
  • scale_ready

Agent Registry

Agent Role


strategist Constructs hypotheses via research + compression gap-definer Computes gaps, runs destruction, enforces decisions


Two-Artifact Model

Hypothesis Register (strategy/hypotheses.md)

Sections:

  1. Problem
  2. Segment
  3. Unit Economics
  4. Value Proposition
  5. Growth Architecture
  6. Solution Design
  7. GTM Plan
  8. Destruction Log
  9. Gap Ledger

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
