# Strategy Memo Skill

Strategy is choosing what *not* to do. A real strategy memo makes a bet and names the sacrifices; a fake
one is a list of goals everyone already agreed with. This skill follows the diagnosis → guiding policy →
coherent actions structure, forces explicit non-goals, and ties the bet to leading indicators — so the
team is aligned on a direction sharp enough to be wrong.

## Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

- **The strategic question** — the choice or challenge this memo resolves.
- **The situation** — the honest diagnosis: the market, the competition, your real position and constraints.
- **The bet** — the approach you're choosing and what it's betting on being true.
