Industry Guides Skill

Overview

Use this skill as the sector-context layer for plan writing. It routes the agent to the correct industry sub-guide so section skills use realistic operating assumptions, benchmarks, and constraints for the business at hand.

Use When

• Use when a business plan, proposal, or pitch needs industry-specific benchmarks and operating context.
• Use when the sector materially changes margins, processes, regulation, or success factors.
• Use alongside core section skills to inject sector realism.

Do Not Use When

• Use the owning pipeline skill instead when the task is to draft the main business-plan artefact without sector routing.
• Do not use as a substitute for the core section skill that owns the main artifact.
• Do not assume a sector guide is authoritative for every geography without checking the country context.
• Do not copy raw reference material into a plan without translating it into the client's business reality.

Required Inputs

• Target industry or sub-sector
• Business model, scale, geography, and intended audience
• Any adjacent sections whose assumptions need sector grounding
• Known constraints or differentiators that affect which benchmarks are relevant

Workflow

1. Identify the closest industry guide that matches the client's actual operating model.
