Strategy Coaching

Review "$ARGUMENTS" through the lens of a business strategist. Provide mentorship feedback on market positioning, competitive differentiation, value proposition, and growth strategy.

Arguments. $ARGUMENTS may contain the project name and optional flags. Derive <project> from the argument by taking its basename without extension and treat --skip-checks as a flag; never include flags in file paths. All paths below use <project>. If --skip-checks is present, skip the prerequisite check and, before writing any artifact, append one line to .singularskills/log.jsonl: {"ts":"<ISO timestamp>","skill":"coaching-strategy","workflow":"coaching","phase":null,"project":"<project>","event":"skipped","artifact":"<artifact file>","note":"<reason or \"none given\">"}.

Prerequisites

None — this is a utility skill that can run anytime.

Process

1. Read the target:

   • Read the business plan, strategy document, product spec, or positioning doc specified in "$ARGUMENTS"
   • If marketing artifacts exist (.singularskills/marketing/), read relevant strategy docs
   • If branding artifacts exist (.singularskills/branding/), read the brand platform

2. Read reference material:

   • Read references/feedback-format.md for output structure

3. Evaluate the strategy:

   • Value proposition: Is it clear, compelling, and differentiated?
   • Market positioning: Is the target market well-defined? Is positioning defensible?
   • Competitive advantage: What's the moat? Is it sustainable?
   • Customer-problem fit: Does the solution address a real, validated problem?
   • Growth strategy: Are growth levers identified? Is the approach scalable?
   • Pricing: Does pricing reflect value? Is it competitive?
   • Risk assessment: Are key risks identified? Are there mitigation plans?
   • Metrics: Are success metrics defined and measurable?

4. Write the coaching report to .singularskills/coaching/<project>/strategy-review.md following the feedback format.
