gather-business-context

Gather business context from connected or provided sources so downstream analysis starts with the right framing. Use when an analytical question depends on missing context, such as what a metric means, what changed recently, or which sources should be checked. If the same prompt asks for diagnosis, recommendation, or a deliverable, gather context first and continue to the focused skill.

# Gather Business Context

Use this skill to collect the business context needed to understand an analytical question before doing deeper work. Focus on what the topic is, why it matters, what changed or is being decided, who or what source is closest to the work, and which definitions or artifacts should frame the analysis. This is a retrieval and extraction skill: gather enough context to set up the next step, not a final report, root-cause analysis, or broad background scan. Skip it when the prompt already provides the needed context or the task is fully self-contained.
