Claude loads it when the task matches- cross-domain
Abstract a stuck problem to its underlying structure, find isomorphic problems in distant fields, and transfer the mechanisms that solved them.
- deconstruct
Reverse-engineer why a finished piece of work succeeds and extract what transfers to your own — rules, a checklist, and a first exercise.
- fact-check
Decompose a claim into facts, conclusions and value judgements, verify every fact online, audit the inference, and say how far to trust it.
- first-principles
Take a patched-over problem back to bedrock and re-derive the path from first principles instead of convention.
- hidden-talents
Interview you in depth to surface overlooked or suppressed talents and write your Personal Talent Manual.
- life-design
Walk you through the Stanford Designing Your Life method and write your Personal Life Design Blueprint — three Odyssey plans and the prototypes to test them.
- min-experiment
Find the assumption a decision hangs on and design a low-cost, reversible experiment that tests it within a week or the cycle you set.
- socratic
Diagnose a confusion Socratically, one question at a time, until the question actually worth answering surfaces — then answer that one.
- steelman
Steelman both sides of a decision, isolate the crux, and drive to a verdict.
- two-axis-research
Research a subject along two axes — how it got here and how it compares today — and cross them into a traceable report on where it goes next.
- two-layer-explain
Explain a concept twice — for a newcomer and for an expert — then bridge the two layers, flag the likely misunderstandings, and set three check questions.
