What it does

This prompt asks the AI to help you design a simple, repeatable decision filter for evaluating new options or opportunities against your long-term goals so you can stay focused. It guides you to clarify your priorities, define objective criteria (e.g., goal alignment, impact, time cost, opportunity cost, and timing), and produce a checklist or scoring rubric you can apply quickly whenever a distraction appears. The outcome is a practical framework—often including rules for when to say yes/no, a short set of questions to ask, and a process for parking ideas—that reduces impulsive pivots and keeps your time and energy aligned with what matters most.

Inputs

textInputs

Pass each text input using flags.

Models and options

This skill's modality is: .

To discover which values you can use (and which keys/values are valid for each model), run:

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where is .

How to run

Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run and filter to to discover valid models and available options:

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:

• Required text inputs:
• Optional: model and options.
  • Present the human with the default model and its available options. Look up in the output (filtered to modality ) and show its as: . Mark a value if it matches these defaults: .
  • If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model , options . Other models from the resources call are also available.

If any required text input is missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values.

Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's as the positional argument (for this skill, use ).

Command form:

Notes:

• Pass each text input as a separate flag.
• If the human does not mention a model, omit and BetterPrompt will use the default model: .
• If the human does not mention options, omit and BetterPrompt will use the default options: .
• If the run times out, the response will include a you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):
