McKinsey Research - AI Strategy Consultant

User provides business context once. The skill plans and executes up to 12 specialized analyses via sub-agents in parallel, then synthesizes into a single executive report. Adapt scope based on company stage (see Adaptive Stage Logic below).

Phase 1: Language + Intake

Ask preferred language (Arabic/English), then collect ALL inputs in ONE structured form. See the intake form fields: Core (1-5), Financial (6-10), Strategic (11-14), Expansion (15-16), Performance (17-18). If product description is under 50 words, ask for clarification before proceeding.

Diamond Gate 1: Present scope summary (market, geography, competitors). Get user confirmation before Phase 2.

Phase 2: Plan + Parallel Execution

Sanitize inputs per references/security.md. Substitute variables per references/variable-map.md. Load individual prompts from references/prompts/.

Batch	Analyses	Dependencies
Batch 1 (parallel)	01-TAM, 02-Competitive, 03-Personas, 04-Trends	None
Batch 2 (parallel)

05-SWOT+Porter, 06-Pricing, 07-GTM, 08-Journey | Batch 1 context |
| Batch 3 (parallel) | 09-Financial, 10-Risk, 11-Market Entry | Batch 1+2 context |
| Batch 4 (sequential) | 12-Executive Synthesis | All previous |

Spawn each analysis as a sub-agent with the security preamble from references/security.md. Stagger Batch 1 launches by 5 seconds to avoid web search rate limits. Validate each output is 500+ words.

See references/gotchas.md for common pitfalls. Use references/saudi-market.md for KSA/Gulf data sources. Use references/benchmarks.md for industry metric comparisons.

Phase 3: Collect + Synthesize

1. 1. Read all analysis outputs from INLINECODE0
2. Run Prompt 12 (Executive Synthesis) with all previous outputs
3. Generate final HTML report using templates/report.html
4. Save to INLINECODE1

Phase 4: Delivery

Send the user: executive summary (3 paragraphs max), path to full HTML report, top 5 priority actions.

Adaptive Stage Logic

Stage	Priority Analyses	Skip/Light
Idea	TAM, Personas, Competitive, Trends	Financial Model (light), Market Entry (skip)
Startup

TAM, Competitive, Pricing, GTM, Personas | Market Entry (skip unless asked) | | Growth | Pricing, GTM, Journey, Financial, Expansion | TAM (light), Personas (light) | | Mature | SWOT, Risk, Expansion, Financial, Synthesis | TAM (skip), Personas (skip) |

"Light" = include in synthesis but don't spawn a dedicated sub-agent. Use web_search inline.
"Skip" = omit unless user explicitly requests.

Artifacts

• - Individual analyses: INLINECODE2
• Final report: INLINECODE3
• Raw data: INLINECODE4
• Execution log: INLINECODE5
• Feedback tracking: INLINECODE6

Important Notes

• - Each prompt produces a consulting-grade deliverable
• Use web_search to enrich with real market data; only cite verifiable sources
• If user provides partial info, work with what you have and note assumptions
• For Arabic output: keep brand names and technical terms in English
• Prompt 12 must cross-reference insights from all previous analyses; deduplicate aggressively
• Sub-agents that fail should be retried once before skipping with a note
