Foresight with Claude Code

A curated collection of projects and resources that combine Futures Studies methods with Claude Code.

This note focuses specifically on Claude Code as a tool, not on AI and foresight in general. The appeal lies in the combination of agentic coding, structured prompts, and established foresight methods.

Skills & Commands

Futurist Analyst Skill

URL: rysweet/MicrosoftHackathon2025

Core idea: Comprehensive futures methodology as a Claude Code skill.

Methods: Futures Cone, Scenario Planning, Three Horizons, Wind Tunneling, Delphi, Weak Signals

How it works: 9-step analysis process from focal question through STEEP scanning and scenario development to strategic options. Contains detailed frameworks for each step with explicit references to established methodologies.

Notable: Academically grounded with references to Voros, Shell Method. Very comprehensive: more of a reference work than a quick-start tool.

Future Scenario Generator

URL: buildwithclaude.com

Core idea: Slash command for systematic scenario generation with plausibility scoring.

Methods: STEEP/PESTLE, Cross-Impact Analysis, Morphological Analysis, Wild Cards

How it works:

  • Trend identification across multiple dimensions
  • Scenario portfolio generation (baseline, optimistic, pessimistic, transformation)
  • Plausibility scoring with weighted criteria (historical precedent, logical consistency, expert validation, empirical support)
  • Strategy testing against scenarios

Notable: Structured output format. Good balance between methodological rigor and practical usability.

Environmental Scanning & Foresight Skill

URL: MCP Hub

Core idea: Systematic environmental scanning with early warning capabilities.

Methods: PESTLE Analysis, Horizon Scanning, Weak Signal Detection, Signposts

How it works: Structured scanning across political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental dimensions. Includes patterns for specific contexts (industry disruption, regulatory change, climate/sustainability, geopolitical risk) and guidance for setting adaptive triggers.

Notable: Practical orientation with clear “when to use” guidance. Good for ongoing monitoring rather than one-off analysis.

MCP Servers

Chronulus MCP

URL: ChronulusAI/chronulus-mcp

Core idea: MCP server for AI-powered forecasting and prediction agents.

Methods: Quantitative Forecasting, Prediction Markets

How it works: Integrates with Claude Desktop and Claude.ai to provide forecasting capabilities. Focused on quantitative predictions rather than qualitative scenario development.

Notable: More suited for data-driven forecasting than strategic foresight. Consider as complement to scenario-based approaches.

Repositories & Frameworks

Shell Scenario Panel

URLs:

Core idea: Claude Code-powered scenario planning using the Shell method.

Methods: Shell Scenarios, Worldview Mapping, Lens-World-Lens Architecture

How it works: An 8-phase workflow orchestrated by a moderator AI (“Dr. Michelle Wells”):

  • Phase 0: Worldview elicitation: captures how you think about the topic before exploring scenarios
  • Phases 1-6: Classic Shell scenario development with 6 domain specialists (ecology, geopolitics, technology, economics, cultural anthropology, contrarian)
  • Phase 7: Worldview integration: connects scenarios back to your mental model

The Worldview Edition adds belief-by-belief analysis, crux mapping (connecting uncertainties to scenario boundaries), and personalized early warning signals.

Notable: Addresses a classic foresight challenge: scenarios that don’t connect to users‘ mental models. The fork extends this with structured belief tracking and quality gates.

VoltAgent Subagents Collection

URL: VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents

Core idea: Collection of specialized Claude Code subagents including foresight-relevant ones.

Methods: Trend Analysis, Scenario Planning, Competitive Intelligence

How it works: Provides ready-to-use subagent definitions for:

  • trend-analyst – emerging trends and forecasting
  • research-analyst – scenario planning, risk assessment, market research
  • competitive-analyst – competitive intelligence
  • market-researcher – market analysis and consumer insights

Notable: Building blocks rather than complete workflows. Good starting point for custom foresight agents.

Future-Forecasting-and-Prediction

URL: krisbolton/Future-Forecasting-and-Prediction

Core idea: Resource collection for scenario creation and future modelling.

Methods: Delphi Method, Scenario Creation, Future Modelling

How it works: Curated collection of PDFs and resources including foundational texts like Helmer’s “Analysis of the Future: The Delphi Method”.

Notable: Not Claude-specific, but valuable reference material for understanding the methodological foundations. Good for prompt engineering grounded in established methods.

Guides & Workflows

Using Claude for Geopolitical Scenario Development

URL: Memia Substack

Core idea: Concrete prompting workflow for accelerated scenario development.

Methods: Axes of Uncertainty, Quadrant Scenarios

How it works: System prompt positions Claude as strategic foresight analyst. User prompt feeds uncertainty axes and requests scenario generation with opportunities/threats for a specified entity. Author reports 10x acceleration compared to manual process.

Notable: Immediately applicable. Includes concrete prompt templates and real examples (geopolitical scenarios for New Zealand). Good starting point for adapting to own use cases.
