Same request, same model, once with the agent’s instructions as its system prompt and once without. Neither could use a tool. Read both and judge for yourself.

The tasks

written by Carte Blanche
example-1

“Our customer refund process is slow. Currently: customer emails support, an agent logs it in a spreadsheet, a manager approves refunds over $200 by email (usually 2-3 days), then finance processes it weekly on Fridays. Average time to refund is 9 days and complaints are rising. Can you map the as-is process, pinpoint the bottlenecks, and suggest 3-4 improvements with estimated impact and the metrics we should track?”

example-2

“I'm kicking off a project to replace our manual employee onboarding with a new HR system. Stakeholders are HR, IT, facilities, and hiring managers. Can you draft a requirements-gathering plan with interview questions for each group, a template for capturing functional and non-functional requirements, and a short list of success criteria tied to measurable business value like time-to-productivity and onboarding cost per hire?”

Install

Download the .zip and unzip it. Put business-analyst.md here:

Claude Code~/.claude/agents/Every project. For one project only, use .claude/agents/ inside it. It gives the agent the tools it asks for, and no others.
Cursor~/.cursor/agents/Cursor also reads the Claude Code folder above. It has no tools field, so it gives every agent every tool, whatever this one asks for.
CodexCodex’s custom agents are TOML files, not Markdown, so this agent doesn’t install there.

Keep its license file beside it, as business-analyst.LICENSE: a name that doesn’t end in .md, since every .md file there is read as an agent.

Then start a new session and ask for it by name. Folders checked 6 November 2026.

Or install from your agent: ask it to install business-analyst from Carte Blanche.
