Foresight Intelligence
Strategic foresight engine using IFTF methodology. Two modes: Soft Predict Future (Claude-native skill, instant, works on claude.ai) and Hard Predict Future (deterministic 12-step pipeline, Python-computed, auditable — requires Claude Code). Structural drivers, cross-impact analysis, IFTF backcasting, four independent futures with per-stakeholder conditional analysis. Year is optional — ask any future question and the engine infers the right time horizon.

Try Asking
Year is optional. The engine infers the right horizon from your question.
■ Who will win — Google or Perplexity?
■ Will OpenAI or Anthropic dominate the AI race?
■ Will India become the global AI leader?
■ Will crypto replace banks?
■ Will remote work become permanent?
■ Will EVs dominate Indian cities by 2032?
■ Will UPI become Southeast Asia's default payment rail by 2028?
■ Will Europe lead the green energy transition by 2035?
Two Modes
| Soft Predict Future | Hard Predict Future |
|---|
| How | Claude-native skill — just ask a question | Say "run hard predict: [question]" |
| Platform | Claude Code, claude.ai, Claude for Work | Claude Code only (needs Python + Bash) |
| Scoring | Claude estimates using the formula | Python computes deterministically |
| Reproducibility | ±2–5% variance per run | Identical every run |
| Audit trail | Claude reasoning (implicit) | JSON files for every step |
| Best for | Exploration, quick reads, content | VC memos, high-stakes decisions |
Install on Claude Code
# Step 1 — Add the marketplace (one-time setup)
claude plugin marketplace add isanthoshgandhi/foresight-intelligence
# Step 2 — Install the plugin
claude plugin install foresight-intelligence
Then just ask any future question — Soft Predict activates automatically.
For Hard Predict Future say:
Run hard predict: Will India become the global AI leader by 2050?
To invoke explicitly by name:
/foresight-intelligence:hard-predict-future Will OpenAI or Anthropic win by 2030?
What You Get
Every run — both modes — always outputs the same complete report:

PREDICTIONS
■ Probable [X/100] [████████████░░░░░░░░] — most likely trajectory
■ Plausible [X/100] [████████░░░░░░░░░░░░] — credible alternative
■ Possible [X/100] [████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░] — low-probability but real
■ Preferable [stakeholder analysis below]
Confidence: [X]/100 | Signals: [N] | Horizon: [YYYY–YYYY] | [Date]

SIGNAL PULSE — supporting / opposing / wildcard counts + visual bars
STEEEP MATRIX — 6×3 grid with ★ hot ● warm ✗ blind indicators
STRUCTURAL DRIVERS — D1, D2, D3 with stability rating
CROSS-IMPACT — convergence and friction across time horizons
HISTORICAL MATCH — best analogue + similarity score
