A cognitive framework based on learning first principles, providing learning method diagnosis, efficiency assessment, and optimization advice. Use when: (1) Diagnosing if current learning methods align with first principles, (2) Evaluating learning plan efficiency and time investment, (3) Analyzing learning behavior problems and providing improvement suggestions, (4) Determining if learning content is worth the time investment. Core principle chain: Self-learning → Induction → Self-output → Expression restructuring → Logical understanding → Practice.
Break any problem down to fundamental truths, then rebuild solutions from atoms up. Use when user says "firstp", "first principles", "from scratch", "what are we assuming", "break this down", "atomic", "fundamental truth", "physics thinking", "Elon method", "bedrock", "ground up", "core problem", "strip away", or challenges assumptions about how things are done.
Socratic coach for breaking down problems to fundamental truths. Use when users want to think through a problem deeply, challenge assumptions, or find innovative solutions. Triggers on requests like "help me think through this", "let's break this down", "what are my blind spots", "I'm stuck on a problem", "challenge my assumptions", or explicit requests for first-principles thinking.
When a constraint is treated as fixed, separate physics from convention, keep only independently supported primitives, and rebuild the simplest solution that satisfies real constraints.
Apply first-principles thinking to break down complex problems into fundamental truths and rebuild solutions from the ground up. Use when solving strategic decisions, breaking through blockers, or challenging assumptions. Triggers on first principles, Elon Musk methodology, fundamental truths, strip assumptions, physics of the problem, rebuild from scratch.
Apply first principles thinking to break problems down to fundamental truths and reason up from there. Use this skill when the user is stuck in conventional thinking, needs to challenge assumptions, find breakthrough solutions, or evaluate whether something is truly impossible vs just assumed to be — even if they say 'everyone does it this way', 'is there a fundamentally better approach', 'why does it have to cost this much', or 'challenge my assumptions'.
Apply when integrating a new requirement into an existing design. Redesign as if the requirement had been a foundational assumption from day one, instead of bolting it on.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "analyze from first principles", "第一性原理", "从根本分析", "从零开始思考", "think from scratch", "question this design", "这个设计合理吗", "is this the right approach", "为什么要这样做", "why are we doing it this way", "有没有更好的方案", "is there a better solution", "challenge assumptions", "挑战假设", "should this even exist", "這個需求合理嗎", "先刪除", or needs to evaluate architectural decisions, design choices, or problem-solving approaches without relying on analogies or conventions.
Strategic thinking frameworks and mental models from Elon Musk for evaluating ambitious projects, applying first principles reasoning, and navigating transformative technology decisions. Use when someone asks about evaluating startup ideas, tackling seemingly impossible problems, applying first principles thinking, making career decisions about transformative technology, understanding AI timeline predictions, assessing risk/reward for ambitious ventures, managing ego and feedback loops, or decomposing complex problems into solvable components.
Walk through decisions using a 3-part framework (first-principles, cost/benefit, second-order effects). Use when choosing between options, evaluating trade-offs, or making high-stakes decisions.
First-principles thinking; identify what everything else builds on. Use when a learner feels like they're memorizing rather than understanding, wants to distinguish foundational from derived concepts, or needs to reconstruct knowledge from basics. This skill guides through dependency testing (elimination, reconstruction, abstraction descent) while enforcing human-only reasoning about what's core vs. derived. Triggers on phrases like "I'm memorizing not understanding", "what's really foundational", "I can use it but don't understand why", "distinguish core from derived", or when a learner wants deeper understanding of first principles.
You must use this when seeking cross-domain analogies, applying first-principles reasoning, or overcoming creative bottlenecks.
