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.

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.

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.
