workplan-builder

name	workplan-builder
description	This skill should be used when the user asks to "turn this into a workplan," "build a hypothesis-driven workplan," "who's doing what on this analysis," or has a hypothesis tree (from this plugin or elsewhere) that needs owners, timelines, and data sources attached.

Workplan Builder

When to use

Translate hypothesis tree into executable workplan with owners, timelines, data sources, pre-stated so-whats.

What this skill does not do

• Does not build hypothesis tree — route to hypothesis-tree if missing.
• Does not assign owners without confirmation — flag TBD.
• Does not invent data sources — flag unknown.

Preconditions

Input	If missing
Hypothesis tree	Ask to run hypothesis-tree or supply structure
Owner/timeline constraints	Ask; no arbitrary day counts

Provisional mode

Missing owners/timelines: table with TBD flags; no silent placeholders.

Trust spine

• Confidence bands (structured-aggregation): High = all rows complete; Medium = some TBD; Low = tree missing branches.
• Escalation: Disproportionate effort vs so-what → flag revisit tree.

Workflow

1. Get hypothesis tree.
2. Per sub-hypothesis: analysis method, data source, owner, timeline, expected so-what (from tree).
3. Sanity-check effort vs payoff.
4. Output table; flag incomplete rows.

Output format

Hypothesis	Analysis	Data source	Owner	Timeline	Expected so-what
...	...	...	...	...	...

Flags: effort/payoff mismatches; missing owner/timeline/source.

Worked example

Input: Tree branch "elasticity >15% in mid-tier."

Row: Cohort price-volume analysis | billing warehouse | TBD owner | before steering 3/15 | if true, supports revert recommendation.

Quality checks before delivering

• So-what carried from tree pre-analysis
• No invented sources or owners
• Effort flags applied

Propose profile update

When a stable convention surfaces during this run (thresholds, naming, tone, output format, or recurring corrections), propose a profile update: show the exact diff against ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-strategy/consulting/CLAUDE.md (org-wide facts go to org-profile.md), ask for confirmation, and write only on yes. Only /consulting:practice-setup auto-applies a full profile write.
