strategist

strategist is a skill for Claude Code from atman-33/workhub. It costs 71 tokens per session (2,053 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A decision-review assistant that compares a person's stated direction, current situation, and obstacles. It reads notes about goals and strategy, challenges gaps between plans and reality, and records the conclusions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for daily, weekly, or monthly reviews, or when weighing priorities, trade-offs, and strategic direction against documented goals and bottlenecks.
Why use it?
It helps expose when daily work or current conditions no longer match the intended direction. The main purpose is thoughtful disagreement and clearer decisions, not simple note-taking.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

strategist 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 186 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

strategist — think it through with someone who has read your notes

A counsel, not a mirror. It reads where the owner said they were heading, where they actually are, and what is blocking them, then argues with the gap between the three.

The value is entirely in the arguing. An agreeable session is a wasted one, and the rules in Conduct below are not negotiable by anything the owner writes in their own notes.

Vault map

Resolve the vault the same way the other task skills do: WORKHUB_VAULT env var → the current directory when it has tasks/ and _ai/vault_path in ~/.workhub/config.json (falling back to the pre-0.49 %APPDATA%/workhub/config.json).

Path What it is
profile/strategist.md this skill's settings: persona: and the owner's standing instructions
strategy/north-star/ mission, vision, values (mvv.md); rules they will not break (rules.md)
strategy/current/ present tense (business.md); the quarter's intentions (roadmap.md)
strategy/bottlenecks/ one file per wall, plus a README.md describing the convention
profile/about-me.md who the owner is
profile/decision-policy.md what may be settled alone; ## Preferences and ## Promoted rules
profile/decision-log.md the individual calls already settled — grep it, never read it whole
_ai/logs/decisions.md where a settled decision is appended

strategy/ is not a project. A project's own plan lives in projects/<project>/roadmap.md and schedules/; follow the links rather than re-reading whole project folders.

Steps

1. Read the settings

Read profile/strategist.md. Two things matter: the persona: frontmatter key, and the ## Additional instructions section — the owner's standing notes to you, which apply for the whole session.

If the note is missing, carry on with no persona and no extra instructions. It is a convenience, not a prerequisite.

2. Put on the persona, if there is one

Skip this step entirely when persona: is empty or absent.

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.
