Growth Strategy External Brain — Claude Code, OpenClaw & Hermes Agent Plugin
Integrating 194 Cases · 111 Growth Plays · 12 Schools · Complete Decision Framework
Input a growth question, output: Stage Diagnosis · Core Tension · Priority Ranking · Do/Don't · 2-Week Experiment
oh-my-growth is a growth strategy plugin for Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Hermes Agent.
Use it directly in your Claude Code session:
/omg-diagnose My DAU dropped 20%, what should I do?
/omg-assess We're planning referral, evaluate feasibility first
/omg-design How to design monetization strategy for SaaS?
Shortcut: Use /omg instead of /oh-my-growth
/omg-diagnose My DAU dropped 20%, what should I do?
/omg-assess We're planning referral, evaluate feasibility first
It first determines:
- Which growth stage you're in (validation / scaling / optimization)
- Whether the problem is user acquisition or user engagement
- What your North Star metric should be
- What to focus on and what to avoid
Then outputs actionable recommendations:
- 🎯 Diagnose Growth Problems — Identify core tension, stage constraints, and priorities
- 📋 Validate Decision Docs — Check if reports cover key sections, fact markers, and action loops
- 🛠️ Output Strategy Plans — What to do, what not to do, which experiment to run first
- 📚 Match Success Cases — Who has done similar things? How did they do it?
- 🔢 Form Executable Judgments — Backed by evidence, cases, and lightweight decision engines

The project organizes strategy judgment around a complete growth operating framework:
- First determine:
Product Validation / Growth Scaling / Scale Optimization - Then determine:
User AcquisitionorUser Engagement - Then define:
North Star MetricandConstraints - Finally: Cases, plays, theories, and experiment recommendations
| Mechanism | Purpose |
|---|---|
| ✅ Current State Clarity Gate | Ask follow-up questions when information is insufficient |
| ✅ Evidence Tier System | A/B/C/D/E five-level confidence, transparent labeling |
| ✅ Safety Boundary Detection | Auto-identify financial/legal/regulatory risks |
| ✅ Output Contract | 10 required sections, ensure report completeness |
Converts uncertain growth decisions into an auditable probabilistic reasoning process:
Initial Hypothesis → Set Prior → Collect Evidence → Update Posterior → Compare Threshold → Recommend Action
| Posterior Range | Decision | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ≥ 75% | Invest Now | High confidence, actionable |
| 50-75% | Run Experiment | Medium confidence, needs validation |
| 30-50% | Collect Evidence | Low confidence, insufficient info |
| < 30% | Stop | Very low confidence, not recommended |
| Tier | Definition | Update Magnitude |
|---|---|---|
| A | Meta-analysis, systematic reviews | ±25% |
| B | Peer-reviewed, industry reports | ±15% |
| C | Expert opinions, internal data | ±10% |
| D | LLM suggestions, analogies | ±5% |
| E | Blogs, marketing copy | 0% |
Calculate optimal investment ratio, answering "how much resource to invest":
