What it does
This prompt instructs the AI to handle a user-specified task with unusually high rigor by first decomposing it into clear subtasks, then analyzing each from multiple angles while actively challenging its own assumptions and attempting to find counterexamples. It requires repeated self-critique, explicit uncertainty tracking, and systematic cross-checking using alternative methods and external validation approaches, followed by a final end-to-end reconsideration of the entire reasoning chain. The intended outcome is a thoroughly vetted, transparently justified solution that documents verification steps, identifies potential pitfalls, and minimizes unnoticed errors or unsupported claims.

Inputs
textInputs
Pass each text input using flags.
| Variable key | Required? | Description | Defaults |
|---|---|---|---|
| Required | (none) |
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):
