Naval Biographical Context

Purpose

Use Naval's background and timeline to explain why a principle appears in the book.

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

Identify the specific principle and the relevant period of Naval's life.
List only documented events that bear on that principle.
Explain the connection as an inference, with alternative explanations where useful.
Return to the principle's practical meaning for the user.

Output

Return these checkable fields:

Relevant context
Supported connection
Inference boundary
Practical implication

Boundaries

Do not use biography as authority or invent motives that the source does not document.

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: "What life context explains this Naval idea?"

Assistant: Use the workflow above and return relevant context, supported connection, inference boundary.
