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

What Claude Does vs What You Decide

Instructions

Step 1: Analyze the Challenge

Classify the challenge type and context:

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:

Step 3: Execute Step by Step

For each step in the sequence:

1. State the skill and purpose — why this step matters now
2. List inputs from previous steps
3. Execute the skill fully
4. Capture outputs — document key deliverables
5. 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.

See WORKFLOWS.md for all pre-built workflows (Product Launch, Customer Validation, Content Strategy, Competitive Positioning, Sales Enablement, Decision Making, AI Video Production).

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
