Constraint Priority Matrix — Output Skill

Last updated: February 18, 2026

Scope

This skill produces a styled, single-file HTML version of the Constraint Priority Matrix for client-facing use.

This is NOT the weekly output format. The weekly matrix output is a markdown artifact produced by the main workflow (constraint-priority-matrix-instructions.md). This HTML skill is separate.

When to Use This Skill

Prospect conversion — one-off calls where you can see the client needs Advisory OS. The visual diagnostic shows them what you see and why it matters.
Engagement upgrade — TPC members or monthly engagement clients where constraints are stacking up but monthly doesn't give you the build capacity to solve them. The HTML matrix becomes the bridge to Advisory OS.
Milestone presentations — existing Advisory OS clients at key review points.
Proposal support — feeding a proposal or mini-site with a polished constraint diagnostic.

When NOT to Use This Skill

Weekly session prep — use the markdown output from the main workflow.
Internal processing — the matrix's diagnostic work happens in markdown.
Any time speed matters more than visual polish.

How It Works

Run the main workflow (any mode) and produce the markdown matrix output.
When a client-facing presentation is needed, use this skill to render the same data as styled HTML.
The HTML skill takes the markdown output's data — it does not re-run the diagnostic. GPS, constraints, patterns, tiers, and session prep are all pulled from the completed markdown output.

What this produces: A fully styled, single-file HTML Constraint Priority Matrix for an advisory client.

Output filename: [client-name]-constraint-priority-matrix-[yyyy-mm-dd].html

Required inputs: A completed markdown matrix output (from any mode) + client reference data.

Content Rules

GPS Direction is the client's stated goal, not advisor synthesis. Position describes reality. Direction uses the client's own goal language — if Direction is advisor-inferred (no stated goal on file), note that. Speed reflects actual readiness.
Constraints are named as gaps, not tasks. "Accounting Manager Operating System Not Defined" not "Build accounting manager OS."
Tier assignment:

Tier 1 — Upstream + high opportunity cost + actionable this week
Tier 2 — Important but needs upstream investigation first (includes provisional tiers for Unknown-status constraints)
Tier 3 — Queue — solve after Tier 1/2 are deployed
Tier 4 — Will self-resolve when upstream constraints are solved

Pattern detection is the value. Show connections, recurring themes, upstream/downstream relationships, parallel root causes, Solve Together and Conditional Solve Together pairs.
Session prep is prescriptive. Exactly what to focus on, what to ask, what pattern to surface. Includes status check questions for any Unknown constraints.
Solved constraints stay visible. They show progress and connect to current work.
Every constraint gets a rationale. Why THIS priority? What's the cost of waiting?
Behavioral constraints get behavioral deployment approaches. If a constraint carries the 🧠 Behavioral modifier, the Deployment Approach must address protocol + accountability + identity shift — not just system design.

Constraint Card Template

Repeat this block for each constraint. Change the tier class and tier badge as needed.

Tier classes: tier-1 (gold border), tier-2 (slate border), tier-3 (stone border) Tier badge backgrounds: Tier 1 = default gold, Tier 2 = style="background: var(--slate); color: #fff;", Tier 3/4 = style="background: var(--stone); color: var(--cream);" Tag classes: upstream, downstream, behavioral, this-week, queue, pattern, escalating, same-root-cause, solve-together, conditional-solve-together, unknown

Tag usage guide: Only include the tags that apply to each constraint. The template above shows all possible tags for reference — a typical constraint card will have 3–5 tags. Common combinations:

Upstream system constraint: upstream + this-week or queue + category + any pattern flags
Upstream behavioral constraint: upstream + behavioral + this-week or queue + category + any pattern flags
Downstream constraint: downstream + this-week or queue + category + any pattern flags
Unknown-status constraint: unknown + type tag + category + any pattern flags

Visual Matrix Row Template

Add constraint items to the appropriate cell. Use classes to indicate type and pattern flags. Multiple classes can be combined on a single item.

Available classes: upstream, downstream, behavioral, pattern, escalating, same-root-cause, solve-together, conditional-solve-together, unknown

<tr>
    <td>{{CAPABILITY CATEGORY}}</td>
    <td>
        <span class="matrix-item upstream pattern">{{CONSTRAINT NAME}}</span>
        <span class="matrix-item upstream behavioral">{{CONSTRAINT NAME}}</span>
        <span class="matrix-item downstream">{{CONSTRAINT NAME}}</span>
    </td>
    <td>
        <span class="matrix-item downstream unknown">{{CONSTRAINT NAME}}</span>
