It helps you scan for signals of change, build divergent scenarios, produce evidence-based forecasts, create artifacts from the future, pressure-test strategies, and build roadmaps from vision to action.\n\n## What It Does\n\n| Mode | What You Get |\n|------|-------------|\n| **Signal Scan** | Map what's changing in a domain, clustered by driving forces |\n| **Scenario** | 3-4 genuinely divergent futures built on a 2x2 uncertainty matrix |\n| **Forecast** | One bold, evidence-based claim with signals, implications, and shadow analysis |\n| **Artifact** | A news article, product page, memo, or other document written from the future |\n| **Implications** | Cascading 2nd/3rd-order consequences of a specific change |\n| **Challenge** | Assumption testing, pre-mortem, red team, and wildcard injection |\n| **Backcast** | A roadmap working backward from a desired future to today's first moves |\n| **Investment Memo** | Opportunity evaluation through a futures lens with scenario exposure analysis |\n| **Historical Pattern** | Look back to look forward — patterns, analogies, and projections |\n\n## Key Features\n\n- **5 interaction styles** — from full collaborative sessions to one-shot dense output, plus a guided \"New to this\" mode for complete beginners\n- **Persistent signal database** — signals accumulate across sessions, building a searchable knowledge base\n- **Automated intelligence** — 7 analysis passes detect clusters, cross-domain convergences, accelerations, contradictions, and blind spots\n- **Source discipline** — signals prioritized from peer-reviewed research and institutional data, not marketing content\n- **Quality framework** — every output self-evaluated against the Cascio Pentagon and Five Principles for Engaging Foresight\n- **Modular methodology references** — compressed from 30 academic papers and professional foresight documents into lean, mode-specific reference files\n\n## Installation\n\n### Quick Install\n\nRun the install script to copy all files to your Claude Code commands directory:\n\n```bash\n# Clone the repo\ngit clone https://github.com/ds1/foresight-md.git\ncd foresight-md\n\n# Run the install script\nbash install.sh\n```\n\n### Manual Install\n\n1. Copy `skill/foresight.md` to `~/.claude/commands/foresight.md`\n2. Copy `skill/ref/` to `~/.claude/commands/foresight/ref/`\n3. Copy `skill/signals/` to `~/.claude/commands/foresight/signals/`\n\n### Verify\n\nOpen Claude Code and type `/foresight`. You should see the intake sequence asking for your topic and interaction style.\n\n## Usage\n\n```\n/foresight\n```\n\nThe skill walks you through:\n1. **Topic** — what future to explore\n2. **Interaction style** — how much back-and-forth (1-5)\n3. **Mode** — what kind of foresight work (1-9)\n4. **Confirm and go**\n\nIf you're new, pick style **5 (New to this)** — it explains everything as you go.\n\n## Documentation\n\nSee [`foresight-skill-guide.pdf`](foresight-skill-guide.pdf) for the full 61-page user guide covering:\n\n- Core futures thinking concepts\n- All 5 interaction styles with examples\n- All 9 operational modes with detailed walkthroughs\n- The signal database and automated intelligence system\n- Quality framework (Cascio Pentagon, source discipline)\n- 8 step-by-step tutorials for real-world use cases\n- Complete glossary and reference\n\n## File Structure\n\n```\nskill/\n├── foresight.md                # Main skill prompt\n├── ref/                        # Methodology references (read selectively per mode)\n│   ├── frameworks.md           # F-I-A, Two-Curve, Stanford 5-phase, etc.\n│   ├── signals.md              # Signal analysis + source hierarchy\n│   ├── scenarios.md            # 2x2 matrix, Vian questions, writing conventions\n│   ├── evaluation.md           # Cascio Pentagon + 5 Principles\n│   ├── techniques.md           # Backcasting, pre-mortem, red team, etc.\n│   ├── content.md              # Artifact design + writing conventions\n│   ├── terminology.md          # Complete glossary\n│   ├── cognitive.md            # Biases, barriers, neuroscience\n│   ├── guide.md                # Novice onboarding companion\n│   ├── signal-store.md         # Signal database schema\n│   └── signal-analysis.md      # Automated pattern detection\n└── signals/                    # Persistent signal database\n    ├── database.json           # All signals (structured, queryable)\n    ├── graph.json              # Driver clusters + connections\n    ├── insights.json           # Auto-detected patterns\n    ├── index.md                # Human-readable overview\n    └── scans/                  # Timestamped scan snapshots\n```\n\n## Methodology Sources\n\nDistilled from 30+ academic papers and professional foresight documents including:\n\n- **Institute for the Future** — Gorbis, McGonigal, Cascio (50+ years of futures methodology)\n- **Stanford d.school** — Playbook for Strategic Foresight and Innovation\n- **Pherson, Donner \u0026 Gnad** — Clear Thinking: Structured Analytic Techniques (Springer, 2024)\n- **Jane McGonigal** — Imaginable (2022)\n- Academic papers on scenario methodology, futures metacognition, collective sensemaking, and AI-foresight integration\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fds1%2Fforesight-md","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fds1%2Fforesight-md","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fds1%2Fforesight-md/lists"}
