strategy-memo

strategy-memo is a cursor rule for Cursor from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. It costs 88 tokens per session (793 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A memo for choosing a focused business direction. It describes the situation, the bet being made, the actions that support it, and the things the team will deliberately not pursue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a company's strategy, choose where to focus, explain why now, and record non-goals and trade-offs.
Why use it?
Many strategy documents list goals without making real choices. This format exposes the trade-offs so the team can align around one direction and its assumptions.

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-memo 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 8d 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.

Strategy Memo Skill

Strategy is choosing what not to do. A real strategy memo makes a bet and names the sacrifices; a fake one is a list of goals everyone already agreed with. This skill follows the diagnosis → guiding policy → coherent actions structure, forces explicit non-goals, and ties the bet to leading indicators — so the team is aligned on a direction sharp enough to be wrong.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

  • The strategic question — the choice or challenge this memo resolves.
  • The situation — the honest diagnosis: the market, the competition, your real position and constraints.
  • The bet — the approach you're choosing and what it's betting on being true.
  • The trade-offs — what you'll deliberately not do or de-prioritise to make the bet.

Output Format

Strategy Memo: [the strategic question]

1. The question — the strategic choice being made, in one sentence.

2. Diagnosis — the honest read of the situation: what's really going on, the few factors that matter most, and your true position (not the aspirational one). A strategy built on a flattering diagnosis fails.

3. The bet (guiding policy) — the chosen approach and, explicitly, what it assumes is true. This is the spine — everything else serves it.

4. Why now — why this is the right bet at this moment (the window, the catalyst), not last year or next.

5. What we're NOT doing — the explicit non-goals and de-prioritisations. If this list is empty, it isn't a strategy — it's a wish list.

6. Coherent actions — the few moves that follow from the bet and reinforce each other (not a laundry list of everything).

7. How we'll know — the leading indicators that tell you the bet is working (or not) early, and the conditions under which you'd reconsider.

8. Risks — what could make the bet wrong, and which assumptions to validate first.

Quality Checks

  • The diagnosis is honest about the real position, not aspirational
  • The bet states what it assumes to be true — it's falsifiable
  • There's an explicit "what we're NOT doing" list with real sacrifices
  • The actions are few and coherent (mutually reinforcing), not an everything-list
  • Leading indicators are named so you learn early whether it's working
  • "Why now" is answered — the timing is justified

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.
