README

Structured Analysis Skill for Claude Code [![version](https://img.shields.io/badge/version-0.1.0-blue)](https://github.com/blevene/structured-analysis-skill)

AI-augmented [Structured Analytic Techniques](https://www.cia.gov/resources/csi/static/Tradecraft-Primer-apr09.pdf) (SATs) from US Intelligence Community doctrine — implemented as an interactive Claude Code skill.

18 techniques across 6 analytical phases, with automated evidence gathering, three-layer self-correction, and mandatory citation enforcement.

What is Structured Analysis?

Structured Analytic Techniques are rigorous methods developed by the US Intelligence Community to combat cognitive bias in high-stakes analysis. They emerged from decades of intelligence failures — Pearl Harbor, Iraq WMD — where the problem was never lack of information, but lack of structured challenge to dominant assumptions.

This skill brings SATs to Claude Code as an interactive `/structured-analysis:analyze` command. Ask a question, and the skill orchestrates evidence gathering, technique selection, structured execution, self-correction, and a cited final report — all grounded in the [CIA Tradecraft Primer (2009)](docs/background/Tradecraft-Primer-apr09.pdf) and modern empirical updates.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Claude Code installed and configured
(Optional) Firecrawl MCP server for enhanced OSINT web scraping

Install via Plugin (Recommended)

# Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add blevene/structured-analysis-skill

# Install the plugin
/plugin install structured-analysis@structured-analysis-skill

That's it. Run `/structured-analysis:analyze` to start your first analysis.

**A note on the command name.** Plugin skills are namespaced by the plugin, so the command is `/structured-analysis:analyze` — that namespaced form is used throughout this README. (If you load the skill some other way and it isn't na
