Chinese/six-pager -- Amazon-style Narrative Memo and PRFAQ
/six-pager -- 亚马逊风格叙事备忘录与PRFAQ
Generate decision documents in the format Amazon has used since June 9, 2004 — when Bezos banned PowerPoint and required every meeting to open with a written narrative.
This skill produces the document. It does not replace the discipline. The original Amazon practice takes a week (draft → review → set aside → edit → final). The skill compresses the structure but preserves the prose-quality bar.
生成采用亚马逊自2004年6月9日起使用格式的决策文档——当时贝索斯禁用了PowerPoint,要求每场会议都以书面叙事内容开场。
本工具负责生成文档,但无法替代撰写过程中的自律要求。亚马逊最初的实践流程需要一周时间(草稿→评审→搁置→编辑→终稿)。本工具压缩了流程结构,但保留了对写作质量的高标准。
Why This Works
为何此工具有效
Three independent traditions converge on a single principle: writing is the thinking instrument, not the documentation of it.
- Bezos (Amazon, 2004): "There is no way to write a six-page narratively structured memo and not have clear thinking."
- Strunk (1918, restated by E.B. White 1959): "Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts." (Rule 17)
- Anthropic (Claude Code Best Practices): "For every line, ask: If I removed this, would Claude make a mistake? If not, remove it."
Same rule, three scales: line, sentence, instruction. This skill enforces all three.
三个独立的理念汇聚于同一原则:写作是思考的工具,而非思考结果的记录载体。
- 贝索斯(亚马逊,2004): "撰写一份6页的叙事结构备忘录,不可能没有清晰的思路。"
- 斯特伦克(1918年,E.B.怀特于1959年重申): "有力的写作是简洁的。句子不应包含多余的词,段落不应包含多余的句子,道理就像绘图不应有多余的线条、机器不应有多余的部件一样。"(规则17)
- Anthropic(Claude代码最佳实践): "对于每一行内容,问自己:如果我删掉这一行,Claude会出错吗?如果不会,就删掉它。"
同一规则,三个层面:行、句子、指令。本工具会同时强制执行这三个层面的要求。
When to Use This vs Sibling Skills
何时使用本工具及同类工具
| Skill | Use For | Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Decisions, strategy, status, "should we?" with stakes | Narrative memo, 6 sections, hard 6-page cap |
| Product / feature / launch ideas where customer outcome is the question | Press release + 2 FAQs, work backwards from launch |
| a long-form writing/voice skill | Prose essays, narrative, sensory writing | Long-form drafting, not decision-doc structure |
| Open question with multiple valid answers | Multi-agent deliberation, not document generation |
| Stress-test a finished artifact (including a six-pager!) | Single-critic attack mode |
Natural pairing: Generate the document with , then stress-test with , then deliberate the recommendation with . That's the full Amazon-style decision pipeline.
/six-pager/adversarial-review/council-review| 工具 | 适用场景 | 模式 |
|---|---|---|
| 决策、战略、状态汇报、带有风险的“是否应该?”类问题 | 叙事备忘录,6个章节,严格限制6页篇幅 |
| 以客户成果为核心的产品/功能/发布创意 | 新闻稿+2份FAQ,从发布倒推撰写 |
| 长文写作/风格工具 | 散文、叙事、感官类写作 | 长文草稿撰写,不涉及决策文档结构 |
| 存在多种合理答案的开放性问题 | 多Agent审议,不生成文档 |
| 对已完成的成果(包括6页备忘录!)进行压力测试 | 单一批评者攻击模式 |
最佳搭配流程: 使用生成文档,再用进行压力测试,最后用审议建议。这就是完整的亚马逊风格决策流程。
/six-pager/adversarial-review/council-reviewArguments
参数
- Argument 1 (required): The topic, draft, or file path. One of:
- A short topic statement:
"Should we migrate the API to cursor-based pagination?" - A path to an existing draft:
docs/pagination-decision-draft.md - A pasted block of context
- A short topic statement:
- Mode flag (optional): (default for decisions) or
memo(for launches). If omitted, the skill auto-classifies and asks to confirm.prfaq - : Adds a 20-30 minute "silent read" simulation to the output — produces an annotated version with margin questions a senior reviewer would write.
--silent-read - : Skips structural generation; treats the input as an existing draft and runs only the Strunk + Anthropic prose audit. Useful for cleaning up an in-flight document.
--strunk-only
- 参数1(必填): 主题、草稿或文件路径。可选类型:
- 简短主题陈述:
"我们是否应将API迁移为基于游标分页?" - 现有草稿的文件路径:
docs/pagination-decision-draft.md - 粘贴的上下文内容块
- 简短主题陈述:
- 模式标记(可选): (决策场景默认模式)或
memo(发布场景)。若省略,工具会自动分类并请求确认。prfaq - : 在输出中添加20-30分钟的“静默阅读”模拟——生成带有资深评审者会标注的页边问题的注释版文档。
--silent-read - : 跳过结构生成;将输入视为现有草稿,仅执行Strunk+Anthropic写作规范审核。适用于优化正在撰写中的文档。
--strunk-only
Procedure
流程
Phase 1: SCOPE
阶段1:范围确认
- Parse flags from .
$ARGUMENTS - Classify the input:
- Topic — short statement, no draft. Generate from scratch.
- File path — existing draft. Read it; treat as starting point.
- Pasted text — treat as starting context.
- If mode flag is missing:
- Auto-classify: input contains "launch" / "ship" / "announce" / "new product" / "release" → suggest . Otherwise → suggest
prfaq.memo - Confirm with the user before proceeding.
- Auto-classify: input contains "launch" / "ship" / "announce" / "new product" / "release" → suggest
- Confirm scope back to the user in one sentence: "Producing [memo|prfaq] for [topic]. [Optional: --silent-read enabled.]"
- 解析中的标记。
$ARGUMENTS - 对输入进行分类:
- 主题 —— 简短陈述,无草稿。从头开始生成文档。
- 文件路径 —— 现有草稿。读取文件内容,作为生成起点。
- 粘贴文本 —— 作为初始上下文处理。
- 若未指定模式标记:
- 自动分类:输入包含“launch”/“ship”/“announce”/“new product”/“release”→建议使用模式。否则→建议使用
prfaq模式。memo - 继续执行前需获得用户确认。
- 自动分类:输入包含“launch”/“ship”/“announce”/“new product”/“release”→建议使用
- 用一句话向用户确认范围:“将为[主题]生成[memo/prfaq]文档。[可选:已启用--silent-read。]”
Phase 2: DRAFT
阶段2:草稿生成
Mode: memo
(6-pager)
memo模式:memo
(6页备忘录)
memoGenerate the six canonical sections. Each section has a specific purpose and a strict prose discipline:
- Introduction (~0.5 page) — What is this document? Who is the audience? What is the ask? Frame the decision in one paragraph.
- Goals (~0.5 page) — Specific, measurable outcomes. Each goal must be verifiable. Numbers required where possible.
- Tenets (~0.5 page) — The principles this proposal optimizes for. No qualifiers (per Strunk's "avoid leeches" reminder). Tenets are unhedged commitments. Format:
1. [Tenet name]: [single declarative sentence]. - State of the Business (~1.5 pages) — Current data. Honest. Concrete numbers, named systems, dated facts. Apply Strunk Rule 16 (definite, specific, concrete) ruthlessly.
- Lessons Learned (~1 page) — What did past attempts teach? What is different this time? Each lesson cites a specific past event or experiment, not abstract principles.
- Strategic Priorities (~2 pages) — The recommended action and rationale. Specific milestones, owners, timelines.
- Appendix (unlimited) — Visuals, supporting data, alternative analyses considered and rejected (with reasons).
(V2) Premortem (required in Strategic Priorities or the Appendix). Assume it is 12 months later and this decision failed. Write the 3 most likely causes, working backward from the failure. This is forward-looking risk-finding that "Lessons Learned" (backward-looking) structurally misses — Kahneman's single highest-value decision technique, and it pairs with the verification: each premortem cause should map to a thing you'll monitor. Not generic "risks" — concrete failure scenarios.
Hard constraint: sections 1-6 combined must fit in 6 pages of 11pt body text. The skill renders a page count and warns if over.
生成六个标准章节。每个章节都有特定用途和严格的写作规范:
- 引言(约0.5页) —— 本文档是什么?受众是谁?核心诉求是什么?用一段文字阐述决策背景。
- 目标(约0.5页) —— 具体、可衡量的成果。每个目标必须可验证,尽可能包含数字。
- 原则(约0.5页) —— 本提案优化所遵循的准则。禁止使用限定词(遵循Strunk的“避免冗余修饰”提示)。原则是明确的承诺。格式:
1. [原则名称]:[单一陈述句]。 - 业务现状(约1.5页) —— 当前数据。内容需真实,包含具体数字、命名系统、日期事实。严格执行Strunk规则16(明确、具体、具象)。
- 经验教训(约1页) —— 过往尝试带来了什么启示?本次有何不同?每条教训需引用具体的过往事件或实验,而非抽象原则。
- 战略优先级(约2页) —— 推荐行动方案及理由。包含具体里程碑、负责人、时间线。
- 附录(无限制) —— 可视化内容、支持数据、已考虑并否决的替代分析(需说明理由)。
(V2版本新增)事前复盘(必填,置于战略优先级或附录中)。假设12个月后该决策失败,写出3个最可能的原因,从失败结果倒推分析。这是前瞻性的风险排查,弥补了“经验教训”(回顾性)在结构上的不足——这是卡尼曼提出的最高价值决策技巧,且需与验证机制结合:每个事前复盘的原因都应对应一个你将监控的指标。不能是笼统的“风险”,而需是具体的失败场景。
硬性约束: 第1-6章节总篇幅必须适配11号字体的6页内容。工具会计算页数并在超限时发出警告。
Mode: prfaq
(Press Release + FAQs)
prfaq模式:prfaq
(新闻稿+FAQ)
prfaqGenerate three sub-documents. Work backwards — write the press release first, as if the product already shipped.
- Press Release (~1 page) — Customer-facing language. Benefit-led. Dated for the (hypothetical) launch day. Format follows Amazon's internal PR conventions:
- Headline (one line, customer-outcome-oriented)
- Sub-headline (one line, who-it's-for + key-benefit)
- Lede paragraph (city, date, "Today X announced Y...")
- Problem paragraph (what was hard before this product existed)
- Solution paragraph (how the product solves the problem)
- Customer quote (fictional but realistic)
- Internal quote (from the team, on why this matters)
- Call to action / availability
- External FAQ (~1 page) — Questions a journalist or customer would ask:
- What is this?
- How is it different from [obvious alternative]?
- How much does it cost?
- When can I get it?
- What does it not do?
- Internal FAQ (~1-2 pages) — Questions Amazon-style leadership would ask:
- Why now?
- What does success look like? (specific metrics, specific dates)
- What are the dependencies?
- What is the failure mode?
- What are we choosing not to build?
- What would cause us to kill this?
The PRFAQ test: if you can't write a credible press release, the product doesn't exist yet — not in the form that matters.
生成三个子文档。倒推撰写——先写新闻稿,假设产品已发布。
- 新闻稿(约1页) —— 面向客户的表述,以利益为导向。标注(假设的)发布日期。格式遵循亚马逊内部PR规范:
- 标题(一行,以客户成果为核心)
- 副标题(一行,说明受众+核心利益)
- 导语段落(城市、日期、“今日X宣布Y...”)
- 问题段落(该产品出现前用户面临的痛点)
- 解决方案段落(产品如何解决问题)
- 客户引用(虚构但符合现实)
- 内部团队引用(说明该产品的重要性)
- 行动号召/可用性说明
- 外部FAQ(约1页) —— 记者或客户可能提出的问题:
- 这是什么?
- 它与[明显竞品]有何不同?
- 价格是多少?
- 何时可用?
- 它不具备哪些功能?
- 内部FAQ(约1-2页) —— 亚马逊风格领导层可能提出的问题:
- 为什么是现在?
- 成功的标准是什么?(具体指标、具体日期)
- 依赖项有哪些?
- 失败模式是什么?
- 我们选择不开发什么?
- 什么情况会导致我们终止该项目?
PRFAQ测试标准: 如果你无法写出可信的新闻稿,说明产品尚未成型——至少不是以有意义的形式存在。
Phase 3: CONSTRAIN
阶段3:篇幅约束
After Phase 2 produces a draft, measure it:
bash
undefined阶段2生成草稿后,计算篇幅:
bash
undefinedrough page count: assume 450 words/page at 11pt
粗略页数计算:假设11号字体每页450词
WORDS=$(wc -w < draft.md)
PAGES=$(echo "scale=1; $WORDS / 450" | bc)
If over budget:
- For `memo`: identify the longest section, propose 30pct cuts that preserve load-bearing content
- For `prfaq`: identify whichever FAQ sub-section ran long; propose merging or trimming questions
Never silently truncate. Always show the user what's being proposed for cuts and why.WORDS=$(wc -w < draft.md)
PAGES=$(echo "scale=1; $WORDS / 450" | bc)
若超出篇幅限制:
- 对于`memo`模式:找出最长的章节,提出保留核心内容的30%删减建议
- 对于`prfaq`模式:找出过长的FAQ子章节,提出合并或删减问题的建议
绝不自动截断内容。必须向用户展示拟删减的内容及理由。Phase 4: AUDIT (Strunk + Anthropic)
阶段4:审核(Strunk+Anthropic)
Run the prose-quality audit on the draft. Each finding cites the rule:
| Check | Rule | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Passive voice | Strunk R14 | Flag every passive construction; suggest active rewrite |
| Vague language | Strunk R16 | Flag every "improvements," "various," "some," "many" without a number; demand specificity |
| Needless words | Strunk R17 + Anthropic removability | Flag wordy phrases ("in order to" → "to"; "due to the fact that" → "because") |
| Qualifiers | E.B. White's "leeches" reminder | Flag every "rather," "very," "little," "pretty," "quite," "somewhat" — propose deletion |
| Parallel construction | Strunk R19 | Flag inconsistent grammatical forms in lists / tenets / goals |
| Sentence-length monotony | Strunk R18 | Flag stretches of 4+ sentences within 5 words of each other; propose variation |
| Topic sentence | Strunk R13 | Flag any paragraph that buries its claim under setup. Lead each paragraph with its point — one paragraph = one step in the argument. The core narrative-memo discipline |
| Overstatement | E.B. White, do not overstate | Flag carefree superlatives and unhedged hype ("massive," "revolutionary," "huge," "game-changing"). A single one puts the reader on guard and taints the rest — demand the number or cut |
| Tenets with hedges | Bezos canon | Tenets are commitments. "We try to optimize for X" → "We optimize for X" or cut |
| Removability test | Anthropic | For each paragraph: would removing it cause the reader to make a wrong decision? If not, cut. |
Produce a structured audit report:
undefined对草稿进行写作质量审核。每项发现需标注对应的规则:
| 检查项 | 规则 | 行动 |
|---|---|---|
| 被动语态 | Strunk规则14 | 标记所有被动结构;建议改写为主动语态 |
| 模糊表述 | Strunk规则16 | 标记所有无数字支撑的“改进”“各种”“一些”“许多”;要求具体化 |
| 冗余词汇 | Strunk规则17 + Anthropic可移除性准则 | 标记冗余短语(如“in order to”改为“to”;“due to the fact that”改为“because”) |
| 限定词 | E.B.怀特的“冗余修饰”提示 | 标记所有“rather”“very”“little”“pretty”“quite”“somewhat”——建议删除 |
| 平行结构 | Strunk规则19 | 标记列表/原则/目标中不一致的语法结构 |
| 句子长度单调 | Strunk规则18 | 标记连续4句以上长度相差不超过5词的段落;建议调整句式变化 |
| 主题句 | Strunk规则13 | 标记任何将核心观点隐藏在铺垫内容后的段落。每段需以核心观点开头——一段对应一个论证步骤。这是叙事备忘录的核心规范 |
| 夸大表述 | E.B.怀特“勿夸大”原则 | 标记随意使用的最高级和无依据的炒作词汇(如“massive”“revolutionary”“huge”“game-changing”)。哪怕只用一个这类词汇,都会让读者产生警惕并影响整体可信度——要求提供具体数字或删除该词汇 |
| 带模糊修饰的原则 | 贝索斯规范 | 原则是明确的承诺。“We try to optimize for X”需改为“We optimize for X”或删除该原则 |
| 可移除性测试 | Anthropic准则 | 对于每个段落:删除它会导致读者做出错误决策吗?如果不会,就删除该段落。 |
生成结构化审核报告:
undefinedProse Audit (Strunk + Anthropic)
写作规范审核(Strunk+Anthropic)
Findings: N critical, M important, K nit
发现: N项严重问题,M项重要问题,K项细微问题
Critical (block the document)
严重问题(阻碍文档通过)
- Line 23: passive voice in Strategic Priorities ("It was decided that...") → "We decided to..."
- Line 47: vague Goal ("improve performance") → demand a number
- Tenet 3 hedges ("We strive to be customer-obsessed") → cut "strive to" or cut the tenet
- 第23行:战略优先级部分使用被动语态("It was decided that...")→ 改为"We decided to..."
- 第47行:目标表述模糊("improve performance")→ 要求提供具体数字
- 原则3存在模糊修饰("We strive to be customer-obsessed")→ 删除"strive to"或删除该原则
Important (fix in next pass)
重要问题(需在下一版本修复)
- 4 sentences in a row of 18-22 words in State of Business → vary
- Parallel-form break in Goals: 3 noun-phrase goals + 1 verb-phrase goal
- State of Business ¶2 buries its claim in the final sentence → lead the paragraph with it
- Overstatement in Introduction ("a massive, game-changing opportunity") → name the number or cut
- 业务现状部分连续4句长度为18-22词→ 建议调整句式
- 目标部分平行结构不一致:3个名词短语目标+1个动词短语目标
- 业务现状第2段将核心观点放在最后一句→ 建议将核心观点放在段首
- 引言部分存在夸大表述("a massive, game-changing opportunity")→ 提供具体数字或删除该表述
Nit
细微问题
- "in order to" appears 3 times → "to"
- "various improvements" → name them or cut
undefined- "in order to"出现3次→ 改为"to"
- "various improvements"→ 具体说明或删除
undefinedPhase 5: PRESENT
阶段5:呈现结果
Show the user:
- Final document (or draft with audit annotations if )
--silent-read - Page count vs budget
- Audit summary (count of critical/important/nit findings)
- Side-by-side: original draft vs proposed rewrites for any audit findings
Ask: "Apply the audit fixes? (yes / partial / no)"
If yes: apply fixes in place (surgical Edits if input was a file; show new full document otherwise).
If partial: walk through each fix individually.
If no: deliver the unaudited draft with a note that audit was skipped.
向用户展示:
- 最终文档(若启用则展示带审核注释的草稿)
--silent-read - 实际页数与限定页数对比
- 审核摘要(严重/重要/细微问题数量)
- 对比展示:原始草稿与审核建议的改写内容(针对所有审核发现)
询问用户:“是否应用审核修复建议?(是/部分/否)”
若选择“是”:直接应用修复(若输入为文件则进行精准编辑;否则展示完整的新文档)。
若选择“部分”:逐一确认每项修复建议。
若选择“否”:交付未审核的草稿,并标注已跳过审核步骤。
Phase 6: SAVE
阶段6:保存文档
Default save path: alongside the input file (if file input) or .
<cwd>/six-pager-<topic-slug>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.mdIf was used, also produce with margin questions in HTML comments or callout blocks.
--silent-read<same-name>-annotated.md默认保存路径:与输入文件同目录(若输入为文件)或。
<当前工作目录>/six-pager-<主题缩写>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md若启用,还需生成,将页边问题放在HTML注释或提示块中。
--silent-read<同名文件>-annotated.mdThe Silent-Read Simulation (--silent-read
)
--silent-read静默阅读模拟(--silent-read
)
--silent-readThe original Amazon meeting protocol: distribute the document at the start of the meeting (NOT pre-read), 20-30 minutes of silent reading with pens out, then discussion anchored to specific page/line annotations.
When is enabled, after generating the document the skill simulates the silent read by producing a second pass:
--silent-readFor each section, generate 2-4 questions a senior reviewer would write in the margin. Examples:
- "How confident is the 23pct number? Is this measured or estimated?"
- "Tenet 2 contradicts Tenet 4 — which wins when they conflict?"
- "Lesson Learned #3 says the prior attempt failed because of X. What evidence?"
- "Strategic Priority #1 has no owner named."
This catches the "writer thinks it's clear; reader doesn't" failure mode before the actual meeting.
亚马逊原始会议流程:会议开始时分发文档(而非提前阅读),预留20-30分钟静默阅读时间(参会者可做笔记),随后基于具体页码/行的注释展开讨论。
启用后,生成文档后工具会进行二次处理,模拟静默阅读环节:
--silent-read针对每个章节,生成2-4个资深评审者会写在页边的问题。示例:
- “23%这个数字的可信度如何?是实测值还是估算值?”
- “原则2与原则4存在矛盾——冲突时以哪项为准?”
- “经验教训3提到之前的尝试因X失败,有何证据支撑?”
- “战略优先级1未指定负责人。”
这可以在实际会议前发现“作者认为表述清晰,但读者无法理解”的问题。
Quality Bar
质量标准
A six-pager passes if every check is true. Otherwise iterate.
- Page count ≤ 6 (memo) or correct sub-document length (prfaq)
- Every Goal has a number or specific verifiable outcome
- Every Tenet is a declarative commitment with no qualifiers
- State of Business cites at least 5 specific numbers / named systems / dated facts per page
- Strategic Priorities name at least one owner per priority
- Strunk audit: zero critical findings (passive voice, vague Goals, hedged Tenets); important findings acceptable with rationale
- The "what would cause us to kill this?" question (PRFAQ Internal FAQ) has a real, specific answer — not "if performance suffers"
一份6页备忘录需满足所有以下检查项才算合格,否则需迭代优化。
- 页数≤6(memo模式)或符合子文档长度要求(prfaq模式)
- 每个目标都有数字或具体可验证的成果
- 每个原则都是无修饰的明确承诺
- 业务现状部分每页至少引用5个具体数字/命名系统/日期事实
- 战略优先级部分每个优先级至少指定一位负责人
- Strunk审核:无严重问题(被动语态、模糊目标、带修饰的原则);重要问题需有合理理由方可接受
- PRFAQ内部FAQ中的“什么情况会导致我们终止该项目?”需有真实、具体的答案——不能是“如果性能下降”这类笼统表述
Gotchas
注意事项
- Do not exceed 6 pages. The constraint IS the value. If it doesn't fit, the thinking isn't done.
- Do not pad State of Business with backstory. Current data only. History belongs in Lessons Learned.
- Do not hedge Tenets. A Tenet with "try to" or "strive to" is not a Tenet.
- Do not generate fake numbers. If the Goal needs a metric and the user hasn't supplied one, ask. Generic placeholders ("X%") are not acceptable.
- Do not confuse Goals with Tenets. Goals are outcomes (measurable). Tenets are principles (commitments). Both are needed; conflating them muddles thinking.
- Do not skip the audit. Phase 4 is not optional. The whole point is prose discipline plus structure.
- Do not auto-save. Phase 6 confirms with the user where to write.
- Do not invoke this for prose articles. Use a dedicated long-form writing/voice skill instead — this skill is for decision docs, not essays.
- 请勿超过6页篇幅。 约束本身就是价值所在。如果内容无法压缩,说明思考尚未成熟。
- 请勿在业务现状部分添加背景故事。 仅包含当前数据。历史内容应放在经验教训部分。
- 请勿对原则添加模糊修饰。 带有“try to”或“strive to”的内容不能称为原则。
- 请勿生成虚假数字。 如果目标需要指标但用户未提供,需询问用户。不允许使用通用占位符(如“X%”)。
- 请勿混淆目标与原则。 目标是成果(可衡量)。原则是准则(承诺)。两者缺一不可;混淆会导致思路混乱。
- 请勿跳过审核步骤。 阶段4是必选项。本工具的核心价值就是写作规范加结构化流程。
- 请勿自动保存。 阶段6需获得用户确认后再保存。
- 请勿将本工具用于散文写作。 请使用专门的长文写作/风格工具——本工具仅用于决策文档,而非散文。
Changelog
更新日志
V2 (2026-05-27)
V2(2026-05-27)
Optimized via (outcome research: decision-memo efficacy + decision science). six-pager was already strong; this is a focused, non-duplicative add:
skillforge optimize- Required premortem in memo mode — forward-looking "assume it failed, why?" failure analysis, each cause tied to a verification signal. Closes the gap that "Lessons Learned" (backward-looking) leaves open. Kahneman's highest-value decision technique; same decision-science line that informed council-review V2.
- Outcome target: memos that surface the killer risk before the decision, not after. Sources: Kahneman (premortem); Amazon narrative practice (silent read, customer-back); grounded in the same decision-science line (premortem, mediating assessments).
通过优化(基于决策备忘录有效性+决策科学的成果研究)。six-pager工具原本已具备较强能力,本次更新为针对性的非重复新增功能:
skillforge optimize- memo模式强制要求事前复盘——前瞻性的“假设失败,原因何在?”失败分析,每个原因都对应一个验证信号。弥补了“经验教训”(回顾性)的不足。这是卡尼曼提出的最高价值决策技巧;与council-review V2版本基于同一决策科学逻辑。
- 目标成果:在决策前而非之后发现致命风险。参考资料:卡尼曼(事前复盘);亚马逊叙事实践(静默阅读、以客户为核心);基于同一决策科学逻辑(事前复盘、中介评估)。

Testing
测试
This is a prompt-only skill. The shipped asserts the structural contract. To verify behavior end-to-end:
tests/eval.sh- Pick a real decision: (memo mode)
"/six-pager Should we migrate the API to cursor-based pagination?" - Verify all 6 sections generated, page count ≤ 6, audit run with findings
- Pick a launch idea: (PRFAQ mode)
"/six-pager prfaq Acme AI assistant public launch" - Verify press release + 2 FAQs generated, "what would cause us to kill this?" has a real answer
- Run on an existing draft: verify only the audit fires, no new structure generated
--strunk-only - Run : verify margin questions are produced for each section
--silent-read
本工具仅基于提示词运行。已发布的用于验证结构约定。要进行端到端行为验证:
tests/eval.sh- 选择一个真实决策:(memo模式)
"/six-pager Should we migrate the API to cursor-based pagination?" - 验证生成所有6个章节,页数≤6,且已执行审核并生成发现
- 选择一个发布创意:(PRFAQ模式)
"/six-pager prfaq Acme AI assistant public launch" - 验证生成新闻稿+2份FAQ,“什么情况会导致我们终止该项目?”有真实答案
- 对现有草稿运行:验证仅执行审核,未生成新结构
--strunk-only - 运行:验证每个章节都生成了页边问题
--silent-read
