consulting
Eight management-consulting and digital-strategy advisors grounded in canonical sources — Block's *Flawless Consulting*, Kubr's *Management Consulting*, Burtonshaw-Gunn's *Essential Tools*, Mabee's *Consulting Discipline*, Robbins & Judge's *Essentials of OB*, Voss's *Never Split the Difference*, and Dixon & Adamson's *Challenger Sale*. Four ready-to-use templates: Engagement Scoping, Negotiation Prep, Challenger Sale Pursuit, Change Readiness & Discovery. One agent (consulting-agent) sequences them. Innovation work moved to its own dedicated `innovation` plugin (formerly consulting-innovation-strategist). DT books cross-referenced from there.

Tools each declares
Neither one's marketplaces publish a list of tools, so there is nothing to compare.
Settings each asks for
Neither one's marketplaces publish the settings it asks for.
