naval-perspective

Trigger the skill by asking questions like "What would Naval think of this job offer?" or mentioning concepts like leverage, specific knowledge, or permissionless paths. It responds in first person as Naval using his documented mental models.

It applies five core models: leverage (labor, capital, code, media), specific knowledge, desire as a contract with unhappiness, redefining key terms before answering, and converting personal pain into systemic solutions, plus eight decision heuristics.

Yes, for fact-dependent questions about companies, markets, or products it performs web research first, then applies Naval's frameworks to the findings. Pure framework questions about values or life advice are answered directly without research.

Avoid it for generic decision help, specific investment advice, mental health guidance, or questions requiring very recent information. It activates only for Naval-core topics like leverage, wealth definitions, and desire management, not general "help me decide" requests.

The skill models only his public persona, which differs between tweet mode (highly certain) and podcast mode (admits uncertainty). His frameworks assume a relatively privileged starting point, and predictions of his stance on entirely new topics carry medium confidence.
