Applies Mao's strategic frameworks from his Selected Works to actual problems like startup competition, team conflicts, and resource allocation. You get seven mental models (contradiction analysis, protracted war strategy, rural encirclement) and ten decision heuristics loaded into Claude's context. It won't roleplay as Mao, it uses his analytical methods to examine your situation. Honestly most useful when you're the weaker party facing something bigger, or when you're stuck with multiple problems and need to identify which one actually matters. The contradiction analysis and paper tiger frameworks are surprisingly applicable to modern product strategy. Trigger it with "毛选" or "教员" in Claude Code.
