feat: add case-interview practice suite — interview-classic case bank, case-cracking drills (math/exhibit/structuring), fit-PEI drill bank, and facilitation & scoring
Distilled from publicly available MBA casebook drill/case sections into original,
de-identified, house-voice reference files. Wired into SKILL.md routing (both the
Casebook Drills and Career sections) and README count updated 118 -> 129.
No institutional/author identifiers retained; company + sector + firm-style flavor kept.

The **MBB Management Consultant AI Skill** is a structured knowledge system that installs into Claude, giving it the cognitive architecture of a senior strategy consultant. It is not a simple prompt — it is 118 reference modules, organized around 5 knowledge pillars, covering every dimension of consulting work from MECE issue trees and Pyramid Principle communication to M&A due diligence, GenAI enterprise strategy, and case interview coaching.

This repository contains a consulting knowledge base for [Claude](https://claude.ai), Anthropic's AI assistant. When installed, it gives Claude a structured senior-consultant workflow, built around MBB-style problem-solving and communication patterns built by distilling publicly available MBB frameworks, case prep resources, and consulting methodology into a single knowledge base.

No. This is an independent, open-source project. "McKinsey-style" and "MBB" are used descriptively — referring to a publicly understood standard of consulting practice. There is no affiliation with or endorsement from any firm.

**Q: What makes this different from just prompting Claude to "think like a consultant"?**
428

A prompt gives Claude a behavioral instruction. This skill gives Claude a 118-file knowledge system — including specific frameworks, case interview formats, industry metrics, and analytical tools — that it actively references during problem-solving. The depth and consistency of output is qualitatively different.

**Q: Can I use this for real client work?**
431
431
Yes. The skill is designed for real problem-solving, not just practice. Many frameworks (issue trees, profitability analysis, market sizing, org design) apply directly to live business problems. That said, always exercise professional judgment — Claude's output is a thinking tool, not professional advice.
