Leadership Toolkit — AI Edition

You can copy this method and do it yourself. Talk to your own Claude. Interview your own shop. Score your own bench. Write your own 90-day plan to get out of the truck. Buy Now is the packaged zip: ten skill folders, the plugin files, and the install so you do not have to wire the coaching loop from a blank chat.

This is the AI Edition of the Restoration Leadership Toolkit. A restoration owner attaches it to their own Claude. Setup interviews them. Then nine leadership skills coach from doer to leader, using their team, their roles, and their pain points. The Notion worksheets are the fill-in half. These skills run them conversationally.

What it is

A 9-skill Claude plugin plus a shared setup skill. Install into Claude Code, the Claude Desktop app, or Cowork. Setup writes a company-profile.md. Every leadership skill reads it. If you already ran setup from the Operations Kit, it reuses the same profile. One profile powers both.

You need any Claude that supports Skills / Plugins. If you can chat with Claude and run a /command, you are good.

The 10 skills

1. restoration-setup. Say “Set up the kit.” Guided interview. First run. The concierge. Shared with the Ops kit.
2. delegation-1-3-1. Say “Help me delegate this.” Convert an escalated question into one issue, three options, one recommendation. That is the handoff.
3. owner-bottleneck-assessment. Say “Where am I the bottleneck?” A scored self-assessment. Names the top places the company still depends on you.
4. succession-5ds-checklist. Say “Am I exposed if something happens to me?” Death, Divorce, Disease, Drugs, Departure. Your exposure, plus what to shore up.
5. accountability-planner. Say “I have a hard conversation to plan.” The issue, the change, the expectation, the consequence. Outputs a script plus a 30-day follow-up.
6. leadership-readiness-checklist. Say “Is my team ready to lead?” Assess the current bench. Flag single points of failure.
7. middle-manager-scorecard. Say “Should I promote this person?” Score a person on 9 traits. Recommendation: promote, develop first, or not yet.
8. owner-dependency-audit. Say “What breaks if I disappear for 30 days?” Dependency across functions plus a decision-rights map.
9. leadership-bench-builder. Say “Build my leadership bench.” Candidates, skill gaps, a 90-day development plan per person.
10. doer-to-leader-90-day. Say “Give me a 90-day plan to step back.” A personalized 12-week transition plan, week by week.

How to install it yourself

Option A: plugin (recommended)

1. Save the leadership-kit folder anywhere on your computer.
2. In Claude, run:

   /plugin marketplace add /path/to/leadership-kit
   /plugin install leadership-kit@profit-detective

   Replace the path with wherever you saved the folder. On Desktop and Cowork, type the same /plugin commands in the chat.

3. Start setup:

   /leadership-kit:restoration-setup

Option B: personal skills (simplest, no plugin)

Copy each folder inside skills/ into your personal skills folder at ~/.claude/skills/. On Windows that is C:\\Users\\<you>\\.claude\\skills\\. Then tell Claude: “run restoration setup.”

First run

Run restoration-setup first. About five minutes on your company and team. Company name, markets, services (water, fire, mold, contents, reconstruction), size, key roles, who answers the phone, carriers, how you run a job, and the biggest pain points. It saves company-profile.md. Then every tool is tailored to your people and how you run jobs.

Keep that file in the folder you work in. You can re-run setup anytime to update it. Nothing leaves your computer.

Using it day to day

You do not need to memorize skill names. Just talk.

• “My ops manager keeps escalating everything to me. Help me delegate it.” → delegation-1-3-1
• “Where am I still the bottleneck?” → owner-bottleneck-assessment
• “Score my lead tech for a crew-chief promotion.” → middle-manager-scorecard
• “Is my team ready to lead?” → leadership-readiness-checklist
• “I have a hard conversation to plan with my PM.” → accountability-planner
• “What breaks if I take two weeks off?” → owner-dependency-audit
• “Am I exposed if something happens to me?” → succession-5ds-checklist
• “Build my leadership bench.” → leadership-bench-builder
• “Build me a 90-day plan to get out of the truck.” → doer-to-leader-90-day

Run the skills in this order

Same spine as the 90-day plan. Do not skip ahead.

1. Setup, then the bottleneck assessment and the dependency audit. Name the top 3 places the company still runs through you.
2. delegation-1-3-1 on the next five escalations. One issue, three options, one recommendation, a default if you do not answer by a deadline.
3. Readiness checklist. Six sections. Red / yellow / green. Name the next-leader candidates.
4. Scorecard on the one person you are betting on. Nine traits, 1-5. Promote about 37-45. Develop first about 27-36. Not yet 26 or below.
5. Bench builder. One row per function. Go deep on that one person. One observable 90-day action.
6. Accountability planner for the one hard talk this phase. Script plus a 30-day follow-up.
7. doer-to-leader-90-day to date the six two-week phases. Then 5 Ds as the what-if-tomorrow check.

The 1-3-1 handoff, in plain terms

Someone brings you a problem. You do not solve it in the hallway. You send them back to write one issue (the actual decision, not the whole week), three options they can live with, and one recommendation with why. You decide. They own the work. That is how you stop being the bottleneck without abandoning the job.
