Apply Self-Determination Theory to analyze motivation quality along the autonomy continuum and design interventions that satisfy basic psychological needs. Use this skill when the user needs to diagnose why intrinsic motivation is declining, evaluate incentive structures for motivational crowding, design need-supportive environments, or when they ask 'why did rewards backfire', 'how to foster intrinsic motivation', or 'what needs drive engagement'.
Apply sustainability frameworks (triple bottom line, SDGs, ESG, circular economy) to evaluate whether strategies balance economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Use this skill when the user needs to assess ESG performance, design circular economy strategies, align business models with SDGs, or when they ask 'is this strategy truly sustainable', 'how do we measure ESG impact', 'what does a circular business model look like', or 'how do we avoid greenwashing'.
Apply Giddens' structuration theory to analyze the duality of structure — how social structures are both the medium and outcome of the practices they organize. Use this skill when the user needs to bridge agency and structure in organizational or social analysis, explain how routines reproduce or transform institutional patterns, analyze the recursive relationship between action and structure, or when they ask 'do people shape institutions or do institutions shape people', 'how are these routines maintained', or 'where does change come from if structures constrain action'.
Apply auction theory to compare the four canonical auction formats and assess revenue equivalence. Use this skill when the user needs to choose an auction format, evaluate bidding strategies, or determine when revenue equivalence breaks down due to risk aversion, asymmetry, or correlated values.
Apply pecking order theory (Myers and Majluf, 1984) to analyze how information asymmetry drives financing hierarchy decisions. Use this skill when the user needs to explain why firms prefer internal over external financing, interpret equity issuance as a negative signal, evaluate capital raising decisions, or when they ask 'why did the stock drop on the equity offering', 'should we use debt or equity', or 'why do firms hoard cash'.
Apply information economics to diagnose and remedy market failures caused by asymmetric information. Use this skill when the user needs to analyze adverse selection, moral hazard, or signaling and screening mechanisms, especially in insurance, labor, credit, or product quality markets.
Apply Institutional Theory (DiMaggio and Powell, 1983) to analyze how coercive, mimetic, and normative isomorphic pressures shape organizational structures and practices. Use this skill when the user needs to explain why organizations in the same field look alike, evaluate whether a practice was adopted for legitimacy vs efficiency, analyze regulatory or social pressures on strategy, or when they ask 'why do all firms in this industry do the same thing', 'is this best practice or just conformity', or 'how do regulations shape our structure'.
Apply ethical frameworks — deontology, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, and justice theory — to analyze moral dilemmas and make principled decisions. Use this skill when the user presents a concrete moral dilemma, a decision with ethical implications, or needs a structured multi-framework ethical analysis, even if they say 'is this the right thing to do', 'what are the ethical implications of this decision', or 'evaluate this dilemma through different ethical lenses'.
Apply the Dynamic Capabilities framework (Teece et al., 1997) — sensing, seizing, and transforming — to analyze how firms adapt, integrate, and reconfigure competences in rapidly changing environments. Use this skill when the user needs to explain why some firms sustain advantage while others decline, evaluate organizational agility, distinguish operational from strategic capabilities, or when they ask 'how do we stay competitive as the market shifts', 'why did this firm fail to adapt', or 'what capabilities do we need to build'.
Apply the Modigliani-Miller theorem to analyze capital structure decisions and identify when financing choices affect firm value. Use this skill when the user needs to evaluate debt-equity tradeoffs, assess the impact of leverage on firm value, understand tax shield benefits, or when they ask 'does capital structure matter', 'should we take on more debt', or 'what is the optimal leverage ratio'.
Coaches behavioral and values-fit interview preparation with negative framing, deep follow-ups, introspection, and mission alignment. Use for culture-fit rounds, Anthropic behavioral prep, failure stories, and self-awareness drilling. Activate on "behavioral interview", "values interview", "culture fit", "tell me about a failure". NOT for coding interviews, system design, resume writing, or technical deep dives.
Building decay and upkeep systems for survival games. Use when implementing timer-based decay, Tool Cupboard patterns (Rust-style protection radius), resource upkeep costs, or server performance management through automatic cleanup. Balances gameplay and server health.
