System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you reason independently by applying first-principles thinking to break down problems, evaluate arguments, and reach truth without relying on authority or convention.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured six-step method: identify the question, extract assumptions, strip to fundamentals, reconstruct from fundamentals, test against reality, and identify remaining uncertainties.
  • Cross-domain applicability: useful for business decisions, technical problems, personal choices, and opinion evaluation.
  • Guided workflows: includes common thinking patterns to avoid (authority worship, social proof, confirmation bias) and practical templates for argument analysis.

Quick Start

Paste your problem and I will generate a full first-principles analysis following the six steps.
