The Right Depth for the Problem

Who it is for

Operators, founders, executives, managers, chiefs of staff, BizOps leads, product leaders, revenue leaders, and AI agents helping them make decisions from live operating context.

When to use it

Use this pack to convert the right depth for the problem material into operator-grade decisions and reusable artifacts. The four skills are deliberately sequenced so diagnosis, mapping, planning, and review do not collapse into one vague prompt.

How to load in Codex / Claude Code / OpenClaw / Hermes

  1. Start from START_HERE.md, manifest.json, or the main catalog.
  2. Select this pack, then select one skill for the immediate job.
  3. Load only the pack README.md, the selected skill file, and the matching example if a concrete prompt pattern helps.
  4. Preserve the selected skill's output schema, assumptions, failure modes, and human review gates.
  5. Do not treat a skill as permission for autonomous external action; keep external, personnel, financial, legal, security, and high-impact decisions behind explicit human review.
