Skill Orchestrator

> Route multi-step challenges to the right sequence of ClawFu skills — recommending which frameworks to combine, in what order, with explicit handoff outputs between steps.

When to Use This Skill

• Starting a new project and need the optimal skill sequence
• Complex multi-faceted challenges requiring multiple frameworks
• Team alignment on a structured approach across disciplines
• Overwhelmed by options — cut through skill paralysis
• Chaining skills where outputs from one feed into the next

Methodology Foundation

| Aspect | Details |

|--------|---------|

| Source | ClawFu Skills orchestration system |

| Core Principle | The right frameworks in the right order compound insights — sequencing matters more than any single skill |

| Sequencing Logic | Foundation → Analysis → Strategy → Creation → Validation → Execution |

What Claude Does vs What You Decide

| Claude Does | You Decide |

|-------------|------------|

| Recommends skill sequences for a challenge | Which skills to skip or substitute |

| Defines input/output handoffs between steps | Final strategic direction at each step |

| Creates custom workflows from the skill library | Resource allocation and timeline |

| Identifies when to branch or loop back | Go/no-go decisions at validation gates |

Instructions

Step 1: Analyze the Challenge

Classify the challenge type and context:

| Factor | Options |

|--------|---------|

| Type | Launch · Validation · Content · Positioning · Decision · Sales · Video |

| Stage | Idea · Early · Growth · Mature |

| Resources | Solo · Small team · Large team |

| Timeline | Urgent · Normal · Flexible |

Step 2: Match to Workflow or Build Custom Sequence

Check pre-built workflows in WORKFLOWS.md. If none fits, build a custom sequence following this phase order:

| Phase | Skill Types | Purpose |

|-------|-------------|---------|

| 1. Foundation | first-principles, JTBD, audience-research | Understand reality |

| 2. Analysis | competitive-analysis, inversion, pre-mortem | Identify challenges |

| 3. Strategy | positioning, category-design, personas | Make strategic choices |

| 4. Creation | offers, copy, content | Build the deliverable |

| 5. Validation | six-thinking-hats, pricing-validation | Stress test |

| 6. Execution | launch-formula, sales-pitch | Go to market |

Step 3: Execute Step by Step

For each step in the sequence:

• State the skill and purpose — why this step matters now
• List inputs from previous steps
• Execute the skill fully
• Capture outputs — document key deliverables
• Validate before proceeding — verify outputs are sufficient for the next step

Validation checkpoint: Before moving to the next skill, confirm the output includes the specific artifacts the next step needs. If not, iterate or add an intermediate step.

Step 4: Synthesize Cross-Skill Insights

After completing the sequence:

• Patterns — themes emerging across multiple frameworks
• Conflicts — where Skill A says X but Skill B says Y, and how to resolve
• Compounding insights — conclusions that only emerge from the combination

Examples

Example: AI Writing Tool Launch

Challenge: Launching an AI writing tool for marketers in a competitive market (Jasper, Copy.ai)

Recommended sequence (modified Product Launch):

1. competitive-analysis → Map landscape (Jasper, Copy.ai, ChatGPT)
2. first-principles → Challenge "AI writing tool" category assumptions
3. persona-generator → Define specific segments (not just "marketers")
4. category-design → Can you own a new category?
5. positioning → Differentiate using competitive gaps
6. grand-slam-offers → Create irresistible offer structure
7. pre-mortem → What could kill the launch?
8. launch-formula → Sequence the mechanics

Handoff example: Step 3 (personas) feeds into Step 5 (positioning) — persona pain points define which competitive alternatives matter most.

Skill Boundaries

What This Skill Does Well

• Sequencing skills for maximum compounding value
• Defining explicit handoffs between framework stages
• Adapting pre-built workflows to specific contexts

What This Skill Cannot Do

• Execute the individual skills (it routes to them)
• Make strategic decisions — it structures the decision process
• Guarantee outcomes — quality depends on inputs at each step
