Strategy Brief Generator (/cs:brief)

Turns a fuzzy business question into a one-page strategy brief with options, assumptions, constraints, and success/kill criteria.

Docs & OfficeIntermediate★ 24,151⑂ 3,405AI score 8/10Last updated: Aug 9, 2026

What it does

  • Takes a topic string or an office-hours intake and produces a one-page strategy brief.
  • The brief locks in: company context, the single question to answer, at least two options ("do nothing" always counts), explicit assumptions, constraints (time, money, people, reversibility), which cs-* advisor roles should weigh in, success criteria, and kill criteria.
  • Saves the result to ~/.claude/briefs/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md so the next pipeline step (/cs:boardroom) consumes a file, not your memory.
  • Forces success and kill metrics to be written before the decision, preventing the classic failure of debating implementation before agreeing on the question.

Who it's for

  • Founders and executives who repeatedly face pricing, market-entry, or reorg decisions.
  • Chiefs of staff and strategy leads who prep decision memos for leadership meetings.
  • Anyone adopting the full cs:* pipeline (office-hours → brief → boardroom → decide → execute → post-mortem).

Examples

  1. /cs:brief Should we raise our monthly plan from $29 to $49? → brief with three options and a churn-threshold kill criterion.
  2. /cs:brief Enter the Japanese market → direct entry vs. partnership vs. defer, with budget envelope and one-way/two-way door labeling.
  3. Feed an office-hours transcript in, generate the brief, then hand the same file to /cs:boardroom for multi-role deliberation.
