What it does

This prompt instructs the AI to solve a user-specified question by decomposing it into a structured first-principles workflow: it must list a small set of directly verifiable facts or constraints, derive a single immediate implication from each fact, synthesize those implications into a solution plan explicitly grounded in the facts, and finally stress-test the reasoning by identifying the weakest link and proposing a way to validate it, all while adhering to strict brevity and section-isolation rules.

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):
