Use when making decisions under time pressure or uncertainty, preventing errors in complex procedures, designing decision rules or checklists, simplifying complex choices, or when user mentions heuristics, rules of thumb, mental models, checklists, error prevention, cognitive biases, satisficing, or needs practical decision shortcuts and systematic error reduction.
Audits decisions for cognitive biases, runs premortems on plans, and reframes choices to reveal hidden assumptions. Use when evaluating decisions under uncertainty, reviewing plans for bias, assessing probability and risk, running premortems, checking for anchoring or availability bias, or analyzing why a judgment might be wrong.
Apply 25 professional mental models to solve complex problems. Use when: (1) facing multi-faceted challenges that require diverse perspectives, (2) stuck in single-minded approaches, (3) need innovative solutions, (4) making major decisions with multiple stakeholders, (5) understanding complex human behavior, or (6) seeking to break cognitive biases and adopt alternative viewpoints.
Use when asked to "thinking in bets", "make decisions under uncertainty", "think probabilistically", "avoid resulting", "separate decision quality from outcomes", or "reduce bias in decisions". Helps make explicit bets and evaluate decisions on process, not results. The Thinking in Bets framework (from Annie Duke) applies poker strategy to business and life decisions.
Apply Kahneman and Thaler's behavioral economics principles to marketing—understand how customers actually make decisions and design experiences that work with human psychology, not against it. Use when: **Improve conversion rates** by removing friction and applying behavioral nudges; **Design pricing pages** that guide customers toward optimal choices; **Write copy that resonates** with how people actually process information; **Create urgency and scarcity** that feels authentic, not manipul...
Apply dual-process theory to diagnose whether judgments arise from fast intuitive (System 1) or slow analytical (System 2) processing and identify resulting cognitive biases. Use this skill when the user needs to explain why quick decisions go wrong, design choice architectures that account for cognitive defaults, audit decision processes for heuristic errors, or when they ask 'why do people misjudge probability', 'how to reduce snap-judgment errors', or 'when does intuition fail'.
Activate this when users need to understand extreme events (bubbles, crashes, mass hysteria, cults, mob behavior), diagnose systemic organizational failures, or assess the risk of multiple psychological/market/institutional forces aligning in the same direction. Typical trigger signals: the phenomenon described by the user "far exceeds what any single factor can explain"; the user attempts to explain an extreme outcome with a single cause; the user is concerned about "multiple adverse factors erupting simultaneously". Not applicable to conventional single-factor decision analysis or assessment of mild incremental changes.
Understand and apply psychological concepts to create superior user experiences (UX) in frontend design.
Apply cognitive bias knowledge to product design and decision-making. Use when designing user experiences, analyzing user behavior, improving conversions, or ensuring ethical design practices.
Applies behavioral science, cognitive biases, and psychological principles to marketing strategy, copy, pricing, and conversion optimization. Use when the user wants to improve persuasion in their copy, apply mental models to marketing decisions, understand why customers behave as they do, use psychology to improve conversion rates, or make any marketing more effective using behavioral science. Also triggers for 'loss aversion', 'social proof', 'scarcity', 'cognitive bias', 'Cialdini', 'Jobs to Be Done', 'behavioral design', or 'why do customers not buy'.
Recognize and mitigate cognitive biases that impair financial decisions, and coach clients toward values-driven financial lives. Use when the user asks about behavioral finance, money psychology, loss aversion, overconfidence, herd behavior, or emotional investing. Also trigger when users mention 'why do I panic sell', 'money fights with my spouse', 'I can never save enough', 'fear of investing', 'lifestyle creep', 'keeping up with the Joneses', 'Rich Life', 'money scripts', or ask how emotions affect financial decisions.
