Instructions

The author has set the instructions to private. Below is a brief overview.

This skill, acting as your personal McKinsey consultant, aims to help entrepreneurs deeply analyze and solve complex business problems through a structured SCQA (Scenario-Conflict-Problem-Assumption) framework. It guides you through a five-step thinking process, from initial topic selection to providing actionable analytical recommendations. First, the skill helps you clarify and refine the topic you want to explore, ensuring it is specific and valuable. Next, based on real-time web searches and your personal knowledge base, it constructs a consensus-based "scenario" and hidden "conflicts" for you, revealing overlooked deep-seated contradictions. Building on this, the skill extracts a specific, verifiable core "problem," directly addressing the crux of the conflict. Then, using first principles or analogical reasoning, it generates an insightful and actionable "hypothesis," providing potential directions for problem-solving. Finally, the skill provides detailed analytical recommendations, including specific argumentation methods, a list of required data and acquisition channels, and recommendations for authoritative references, ensuring your analysis process is efficient and well-founded. Whether you are an entrepreneur, product manager, or strategic analyst looking to innovate your business model or develop a market strategy, this skill can help you transform vague ideas into clear action plans.
