Tier Access

Your access to frameworks depends on your organization's subscription tier:

Your Tier	Accessible Frameworks
Starter	starter tier only
Pro	starter + pro tiers
Enterprise	all frameworks

AI-Assisted Generation

When using --ai-assist, the framework is processed by OneAI to generate content based on your context. This:

Consumes OneAI credits
Produces more complete output
Tailors content to your specific situation

Without AI (free): Returns a template with prompts for manual completion.

With AI (credits): Generates content based on your context and the framework structure.

Use Cases

Create Role Description

# Generate role description template
waymaker frameworks apply role-description-builder \
  --context "Senior Software Engineer at a fintech startup" \
  --output senior-engineer-role.md

# Review and customize the generated template
cat senior-engineer-role.md

Strategic Planning

# Apply strategy map framework
waymaker frameworks apply strategy-map \
  --context "E-commerce company expanding to European markets" \
  --output europe-expansion-strategy.md

Set Up OKRs

# Generate OKR structure
waymaker frameworks apply okr-builder \
  --context "Q1 2026 Engineering team objectives" \
  --output q1-engineering-okrs.md

AI Agent Workflow

# Get framework structure
FRAMEWORK=$(waymaker frameworks get role-description-builder --json)

# Parse sections
echo $FRAMEWORK | jq '.sections[] | {name, required}'

# Apply with context
waymaker frameworks apply role-description-builder \
  --context "$(cat job-requirements.txt)" \
  --output role-description.md \
  --ai-assist

Knowledge Context System

Frameworks are backed by methodology content from the Resolute book series. The knowledge context system provides AI assistants with book chapter content for enhanced framework application.

Knowledge Sources

Book	Frameworks	Description
Resolute: The 7 Questions of Leadership	29	Strategic leadership, 7 Questions, 5 Questions of Management
Resolute Teams	13	Department-specific (Sales, Marketing, Service, Finance, IT, People & Culture)

Total: 42 frameworks with book context

List Frameworks with Knowledge

   Strategic leadership framework for future-state creation. Covers vision,
   market, strategy, business model, customer experience, employee experience,
   and goals.

Resolute Teams:
   Department-specific leadership frameworks for Sales, Marketing, Service,

Get Framework with Book Context

The --with-context flag returns framework details plus related book chapter content:

waymaker frameworks get 7-questions --with-context

Output:

7 Questions of Leadership

The foundational Waymaker framework for strategic clarity...

ID: 7-questions
Category: leadership
Tier: starter
Has Knowledge Context: Yes
Book Source: Resolute: The 7 Questions of Leadership
Related Chapters: 8

Context content is available. To save for AI consumption:
  waymaker frameworks get 7-questions --with-context --output context.md

Save Context for AI Consumption

waymaker frameworks get 7-questions --with-context --output 7q-context.md

This creates a comprehensive context file (~300-500 lines) containing:

Framework metadata and description
Related book chapter summaries
Framework methodology content
Section prompts and examples

AI agents can read this file to produce methodology-accurate outputs.

AI Agent Workflow with Knowledge Context

# 1. Check available frameworks with knowledge
waymaker frameworks knowledge --json | jq '.frameworks'

# 2. Get framework with full book context
waymaker frameworks get 7-questions --with-context --output context.md

# 3. AI assistant reads context.md and applies the methodology
# The context includes:
#   - Book chapters explaining the framework theory
#   - Framework sections with guided prompts
#   - Examples and application guidance

# 4. Generate output using the framework
waymaker frameworks apply 7-questions \
  --context "$(cat business-situation.txt)" \
  --output business-plan.md

Knowledge Context JSON

waymaker frameworks get 7-questions --with-context --json

{
  "framework": {
    "id": "7-questions",
    "name": "7 Questions of Leadership",
    "sections": [...]
  },
  "has_knowledge_context": true,
  "knowledge": {
    "book": "resolute",
    "description": "The 7 Questions of Leadership - strategic framework",
    "chapters": ["ch19-intro-leadership", "ch20-lq1-vision", ...],
    "context_content": "# Knowledge Context for: 7-questions\n..."
  }
}

Why Knowledge Context Matters

Without context:

AI applies framework structure mechanically
May miss methodology nuances
Generic outputs

With context:

AI understands the "why" behind each section
Applies Waymaker methodology accurately
Produces outputs aligned with Resolute book principles

AI-Powered Framework Workflow

The MCP tools enable Claude to act as a Waymaker business strategist:

1. List frameworks to find the right one
2. Get framework with book context (with_context=true)
3. Claude reads Resolute methodology
4. Apply framework with your business context
5. Claude generates outputs aligned with Waymaker principles

Example conversation:

"I need to create a strategic plan for Q2. What frameworks can help?"

Claude lists relevant frameworks, recommends the 7 Questions or Strategy Map, retrieves the book context, and guides you through each section using the actual Resolute methodology.
