SKILL.md explicitly says the technique-to-section mapping is defined by `.claude/layers/` content-type guides and that checks.py's parsing/thresholds are 'orchestrator-injected' — both confirmed missing from a standalone copy (`ls ~/.claude/skills/consulting-writing` has only SKILL.md/criteria.json/checks.py, no layers/, no graph/_clusters.json); the executive-summary writing craft itself still works standalone and produced a visibly stronger SCR/bold-bullet paragraph than an unguided baseline.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 2/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 6/10
- Docs & honesty 3/5
What Consulting Writing does
Management-consulting writing craft (SCR structure, so-what-upfront, bold-bullet metric runs, numeric precision, MECE completeness) for executive summaries and roll-up/landscape overviews. The prose-craft half is self-contained; the MECE/roll-up deterministic-check half (criteria.json, checks.py) is written as a content-type-agnostic module for the llm-wiki-newsroom pipeline and expects orchestrator-injected parsing, manifest thresholds, and `.claude/layers/` content-type guides that live outside this skill folder.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Consulting Writing skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from alfadur7/llm-wiki-newsroom. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Consulting Writing work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 14, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. SKILL.md explicitly says the technique-to-section mapping is defined by `.claude/layers/` content-type guides and that checks.py's parsing/thresholds are 'orchestrator-injected' — both confirmed missing from a standalone copy (`ls ~/.claude/skills/consulting-writing` has only SKILL.md/criteria.json/checks.py, no layers/, no graph/_clusters.json); the executive-summary writing craft itself still works standalone and produced a visibly stronger SCR/bold-bullet paragraph than an unguided baseline.
- What is the Consulting Writing SkillProof Score?
- 6.4/10 — installs cleanly 2/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 6/10, docs & honesty 3/5.
- How do I install Consulting Writing?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Consulting Writing with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
