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.
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.
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.
