evaluate-strategic-option

evaluate-strategic-option is a skill for Claude Code from daddia/claude-for-strategy. It costs 69 tokens per session (916 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for evaluating a major strategic choice, such as entering a market, buying a company, or committing substantial capital, as a staged option rather than a simple yes-or-no decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
Structuring strategic proposals, testing whether an option is suitable for staged investment, identifying triggers and kill criteria, and presenting trade-offs to decision-makers.
Why use it?
It makes the initial commitment, possible expansion, abandonment conditions, learning goals, and strongest opposing case explicit before a decision is made.

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

evaluate-strategic-option 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 10d 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.

Evaluate Strategic Option

When to use

Major strategic decisions needing staging, steelmanned case against, downside sizing, and pre-commitment kill criteria — not binary go/no-go.

What this skill does not do

  • Does not evaluate vague topics — requires committable decision with scope, scale, timing.
  • Does not soften case against for sponsors — steelman is mandatory.
  • Does not pick winner when trade-offs unquantifiable — say so.
  • Does not ship board-final without GATE.

Preconditions

Input If missing
Corporate-strategy + org profiles [PROVISIONAL] balanced posture
Precise option statement Ask once to narrow

Provisional mode

[PROVISIONAL] on risk posture; structured first pass if downside inputs missing.

Trust spine

  • Strategic advice vs. support (mandatory): Trade-offs and triggers; IC/board owns decision.
  • Per trust-conventions for sourcing, assumptions, numbers, confidence, GATE.

Workflow

Step 1: State option precisely

Reject vague topics; require committable decision.

Step 2: Staging checklist

If plausible: initial commitment, scale trigger, abandon trigger, learning objective. If not: say why.

Step 3: Case for (brief)

3–5 bullets; tag unsourced claims.

Step 4: Case against (steelman — mandatory)

Hardest assumption, cannibalization, timing illusion, integration load, comparable bias, reversibility, sponsor momentum — apply checklist.

Step 5: Downside sizing + survivability test

Direct loss, opportunity cost, reputation, org strain. Survivable on failure: yes/no/unclear with evidence.

Step 6: Kill criteria (pre-commitment)

Dated, specific; stage-1 vs full-program if staged.

Step 7: Recommendation

Proceed staged | proceed in full | do not proceed — with confidence band.

Output format

OPTION: [precise decision]
