SkillFoundry is built and running today: a plugin on the open Model Context Protocol that routes any content asset through three Signal-to-Value gates before it ships. Modern comms teams have automated execution but lost strategic oversight; SkillFoundry is the Verification Loop that keeps machine-speed output on strategy.
SkillFoundry is a strategic firewall for content and the Verification Loop of an agentic content pipeline. It is a plugin, built on the open Model Context Protocol (MCP), that routes any asset (pasted text or a file) through three Signal-to-Value gates, Relevance, Performance, and Algorithmic Signal, and returns the optimized asset plus a structured audit you can defend to the C-suite. Built by False Dawn Industries. As of 2026.
SkillFoundry evaluates content across three opinionated filters. Each returns the optimized asset plus a structured audit you can defend to the C-suite.
Filters raw text through a Jobs-to-be-Done lens, stripping hollow impression-farming hooks and forcing the asset to solve a specific functional, emotional, or social problem for a defined audience, not generic industry noise.
Translates soft PR metrics into C-suite KPIs and enforces a risk-constraint architecture. It audits the narrative to claim undisputed category authority and grounds every claim in measurable enterprise value drivers.
A distribution defense against programmatic AI noise: it strips LLM stylistic footprints, injects high-density human signal, and structures AEO/GEO metadata so AI search engines cite the brand as a definitive source.
SkillFoundry ships as a plugin built on the open Model Context Protocol (MCP), so it drops into MCP-compatible clients, terminals, and CMS platforms with no glue code.
skills/Markdown files encoding the prompt logic and reasoning for the Market-Deficit, Enterprise Valuation, and Adversarial Defense gates.
commands/Slash commands like /skillfoundry:strategic-audit chain the three gates, plus one command per gate to route local files straight from your terminal.
.mcp.jsonA connector definition that loads the plugin natively into MCP-compatible clients, existing workflows, CMS platforms, and design tools.
Asset in → Relevance → Performance → Algorithmic Signal → deployable asset + three audits out
Every gate is built from publicly documented strategy frameworks, cited in the plugin. Model Context Protocol is an open standard; this product is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.
Point any MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, or another client via the .mcp.json connector) at the plugin and route any asset (pasted text or a path to a .md/.txt file) through the gates. No backend, no glue code.
/skillfoundry:strategic-auditHeroRuns the asset through all three gates in order and returns one consolidated strategic audit report, scored, ranked, with line-level rewrites you can defend to the C-suite.
/skillfoundry:relevance-gateRuns only Gate 1, the Market-Deficit Analyzer, scoring the asset through a Jobs-to-be-Done lens and returning its Relevance GateResult.
/skillfoundry:performance-gateRuns only Gate 2, the Enterprise Valuation Gate, auditing brand equity and competitive positioning and returning its Performance GateResult.
/skillfoundry:signal-gateRuns only Gate 3, the Adversarial Defense Matrix, checking GEO/AEO and human-signal density and returning its Algorithmic-Signal GateResult.

It is built by False Dawn Industries.
You point an MCP-compatible client at the plugin (or load its .mcp.json connector) and run a slash command such as /skillfoundry:strategic-audit on pasted text or a file. The asset passes through the Relevance, Performance, and Algorithmic Signal gates and comes back with the optimized asset and three audits.
