13 consulting frameworks from a former McKinsey consultant, packaged as drop-in Claude skills. Issue trees, decision memos, McKinsey-style charts, full deck pipelines — the stuff strategists, PMs, and ops leaders run anyway, now executable in one prompt.
A 30-second walkthrough: take a real personal question ("Which sport should I pick up?"), run it top-down through 4 of the skills — Issue Tree → Storyline → Charts → Deck Pipeline — and out comes an 8-slide deck with native editable charts.
Full worked example, including the prompts:
examples/which-sport-to-pick-up/.
📖 Prefer to scan at your own pace? Open the storyboard (no autoplay).
Latest update (May 2026): added Synthesis, Hypothesis Tree, Stakeholder Map, Top-Down Memo, and Workshop Designer; replaced the Gamma-based deck path with native python-pptx + editable charts.
Open Claude (or any LLM with these skills loaded) and paste:
Build me a McKinsey-style deck on a decision I'm weighing:
"Which sport should I pick up: pickleball, tennis, or running?"
Run the full top-down workflow:
1. Use issue-tree-builder to decompose into MECE branches
2. Use storyline-builder to turn it into 8 claim-shaped slide titles
3. Use mckinsey-charts for the data slides (bar+callout, waterfall)
4. Use deck-pipeline (strategist → builder → critic → fixer) to produce the final .pptx
You'll get the same arc as the GIF above, with a real .pptx you can open and edit. Swap the question for one you actually care about: "Which side project should I commit to?", "Should I take the job?", "Where should we move?" — same workflow, your decision.
What one of the data slides looks like:
- Claude Code: clone this repo — skills auto-load when you work in the directory.
- Claude.ai: download the
.skillfile for any skill → Settings → Skills → Add Skill. - Any LLM: copy the contents of
SKILL.mdinto your conversation as context.
git clone https://github.com/sruthir28/enterprise-ai-skills.gitNo dependencies beyond Claude itself. The deck pipeline (deck-pipeline + mckinsey-charts) requires Python 3.9+ and python-pptx if you want to generate .pptx files locally — see examples/which-sport-to-pick-up/build.py.
The McKinsey muscle — frame the problem, commit to an answer, pull the "so what" out of messy inputs.
| Skill | What It Does | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| SCPR Framework | Structure arguments using Situation-Complication-Problem-Recommendation | Exec summaries, memos, strategic recs |
| Issue Tree Builder | Break down problems into MECE components | Analysis, case prep, work plans |
| Hypothesis Tree | Commit to a Day-1 answer and design tests that could kill it | Start of any analysis where you'd otherwise "boil the ocean" |
| Synthesis | Turn a pile of interviews / transcripts / research into 3 insights with evidence + so-what | After customer interviews, surveys, research dumps |
| Prioritization | Score features using RICE, Impact/Effort, Value/Complexity | Roadmap decisions, feature trade-offs |
| AI Use-Case Scorer | Score AI use cases on Value × Feasibility × Safety; tier them Do Now / Quarter / Park / Avoid | Personal AI roadmap, "what should I AI-ify next" |
| Data Insights | Analyze any dataset and answer key questions in plain English | Quick analysis without being a data scientist |
Answer-first, evidence-dense, decision-forcing.
| Skill | What It Does | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Decision Memo Builder | 1-page memo that forces a yes/no (context → options → rec → risks → ask) | Leadership decisions, scope cuts, buy/build calls |
| Top-Down Memo | Answer-first writing using the Minto Pyramid — lead, 3 arguments, evidence | Emails to execs, briefing docs, Slack messages that need to land |
| Storyline Builder | Build slide narratives where each line = a slide title | Decks, pitch presentations, board updates |
Where the politics decide the outcome.
| Skill | What It Does | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Meeting Prep Kit | Pre-read + agenda + talking points + objections for any meeting you're driving | Exec reviews, stakeholder pitches, scope negotiations |
| Stakeholder Map | Map the room onto Power/Interest with each person's stance + one move | Cross-functional decisions, reorgs, launches |
| Workshop Designer | Design a half-day or full-day session that ends with a committed artifact + owners | Offsites, leadership alignment, quarterly planning |
Native, editable PowerPoint — no Gamma, no images.
| Skill | What It Does | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| McKinsey Charts | Three workhorse charts (bar+callout, stacked-over-time, waterfall) as native python-pptx objects | Any chart that needs to look EM-reviewed, not Excel-default |
| Deck Pipeline | 4-agent pipeline: Strategist → Builder → Critic → Fixer. Uses Storyline + Charts to produce a critique-proof deck. | Board decks, strategy presentations, any high-stakes slides |
| Skill | What It Does | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| McKinsey Critic | Reviews decks and docs like a McKinsey engagement manager — grades, flags problems, gives top 3 fixes | Quality gate before anything goes to stakeholders |
Most real work uses 2–3 of these together. Some common stacks:
- Customer research → memo: Synthesis → Top-Down Memo (or Decision Memo) → McKinsey Critic
- Strategic question → recommendation: Issue Tree → Hypothesis Tree → run the tests → Decision Memo
- Big decision with politics: Stakeholder Map → Decision Memo → Meeting Prep Kit (for each 1:1)
- Board deck (the GIF above): Issue Tree → Storyline Builder → Charts → Deck Pipeline → McKinsey Critic
- Offsite or alignment workshop: Workshop Designer → Meeting Prep Kit (pre-1:1s) → workshop runs → Top-Down Memo (post-send)
Is: a library of 13 prompts-with-structure that turn a fuzzy strategic ask into a decision-shaped artifact. Each skill encodes a specific consulting move (MECE decomposition, Day-1 hypothesis, pyramid principle, etc.) so Claude doesn't reinvent the structure every time.
Isn't: a chatbot, a UI, or generic "AI for work" prompts. There's no model fine-tuning. The skills work because the structure is right, not because the model is special.
