Naval Ravikant's decision framework distilled into a portable skill that outputs crisp, first-principles verdicts based on a master brain and domain extracts, enabling rapid, context-aware guidance without hedging.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-mode support: full Naval consultation, quick verdict, Kapil mode, debate, pushback, retro, eval, context attachments.
  • Brain-grounded reasoning: uses the Brain of Naval and domain extracts to ground outputs in Naval's operating principles.
  • Personal-Consultation history: saves outputs to a per-user history for retrieval and review.

Quick Start

Ask naval a decision question and request a full Naval verdict with the clarity gate.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a first-principles decision consultation for a complex choice?

A first-principles decision consultation provides crisp, context-aware verdicts grounded in a master brain. You receive structured guidance without hedging by submitting your decision question and requesting a full verdict with the clarity gate.

What is the best way to generate a quick verdict on a specific judgment call?

The best way to generate a quick verdict is to use the quick verdict mode. This dispatches a sub-agent to produce a rapid, Naval-driven judgment based on domain extracts, saving the structured output to your local history.

Can I use a debate or pushback mode to stress-test my decision framework?

Yes, you can use debate and pushback modes to stress-test your decision framework. These modes evaluate your reasoning from alternative angles and save the structured evaluation outputs for later review.

Does the Naval consultation save decision history for later retrieval?

Yes, the Naval consultation saves decision history for later retrieval. It automatically writes structured outputs to a per-user local directory, ensuring your past verdicts and context attachments remain available for ongoing review.

When do I need a Kapil-driven verdict instead of a standard Naval consultation?

You need a Kapil-driven verdict when seeking an alternative reasoning mode within the same consultation framework. It dispatches a sub-agent to apply Kapil's specific principles to your problem, yielding a differentiated structured output.

Are there limitations to using domain extracts for brain-grounded reasoning?

A limitation of brain-grounded reasoning is that outputs depend entirely on the fixed operating principles within the master brain and domain extracts. It cannot incorporate external data outside this knowledge base when generating its verdicts.
