Mental Model Selector

When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks for help with:

a decision
prioritization
a tradeoff
repeated failure
project focus
productivity friction
risk review
postmortem analysis

Procedure

Read data/mental_models_index.json.
Select at most three relevant models.
Prefer models that change the next action.
Ask only the diagnostic questions needed to reduce ambiguity.
Produce one concrete output:
- decision frame
- next-action plan
- risk checklist
- tradeoff table
- postmortem review
State where the model may mislead.

Response Format

Selected models: <model ids>
Why these: <one sentence>
Diagnostic questions: <2-5 questions>
Frame: <concise reasoning>
Next action: <one concrete action>
Failure check: <what would make this lens misleading>

Pitfalls

Do not use more than three models by default.
Do not turn simple requests into theory.
Do not present mental models as proof.
Do not copy source prose from public lists.

Verification

A useful response helps the user decide or act differently within the current session.
