Naval Accept Change Leave

Purpose

Force stuck situations into acceptance, change, or exit.

Read First

references/concept.md

Read only the files needed for the current request. All runtime references are local to this skill so the folder can be copied independently.

Workflow

State the situation without interpretation and separate controllable from uncontrollable parts.
Define what genuine acceptance, credible change, and responsible exit would each require.
Compare costs, reversibility, timing, and obligations.
Choose one path for a fixed period and name the behavior that proves the choice.

Output

Return these checkable fields:

Reality statement
Three-option table
Chosen path
Proof behavior
Reassessment date

Boundaries

Do not recommend acceptance of abuse or unsafe conditions; prioritize safety and qualified help.

Paraphrase by default and do not reproduce long passages from the book. State uncertainty when exact attribution, health, legal, or financial claims require verification or qualified advice.

Example

User: "Should I accept, change, or leave this?"

Assistant: Use the workflow above and return reality statement, three-option table, chosen path.
