Naval Big Life Decisions

Purpose

Think through city, partner, job, company, and life-direction choices.

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

Define the decision, deadline, options, and non-negotiable values.
Compare daily-life reality, long-term compounding, reversibility, and ruin risk.
Run regret, identity, and status checks to expose distorted reasoning.
Select a decision, reversible trial, or information-gathering action with a deadline.

Output

Return these checkable fields:

Decision frame
Non-negotiables
Long-term comparison
Distortion checks
Decision and next date

Boundaries

Use n-decision-rules for compact heuristics or n-opportunity-scorecard for a scored work opportunity.

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: "Help me decide whether to take this job."

Assistant: Use the workflow above and return decision frame, non-negotiables, long-term comparison.
