Open-source AI Skill turns The Art of War into a structured decision workflow for Claude Code
yangyi · x · 2026-07-28
The author open-sourced Sunzi Strategy Advisor, an AI Skill that treats The Art of War as a decision discipline rather than a quote generator.
Core workflow:
- It first decides whether the problem is actually strategic.
- If information is insufficient, it asks only 3–5 questions whose answers could flip the conclusion, then stops.
- Every claimed advantage must be tested against: can the competitor match it, how long would that take, and what would it cost.
- The output is not just “attack” or “don’t attack,” but also a “wait” state with explicit trigger conditions.
- It ranks the most likely ways the plan fails and states where the core judgment could be wrong.
- It keeps a calibration checkpoint: when to revisit the decision and which metrics to watch.
The repository is positioned as a practical decision aid for Claude Code / NewMax users, not a generic “AI strategist” prompt.
