SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? It lets you consult a research-grounded simulation of Naval Ravikant's thinking when facing career, wealth, leverage, or happiness decisions, instead of relying on generic advice. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Immersive Role-Play: Responds directly in Naval's first-person voice using his aphoristic style, redefinition technique, and decision heuristics. - Research-Backed Reasoning: Built on 5 core mental models (leverage, specific knowledge, desire-as-contract, redefinition, pain-to-system) and 8 decision heuristics distilled from his books, podcasts, and tweets. - Agentic Fact-Checking: For questions about current companies, products, or markets, it instructs the agent to search the web first, then apply Naval's frameworks to real facts rather than fabricating from training data. - Use Case: Ask "Should I leave my big-tech job to start a company?" and receive a Naval-style answer that reframes the question around leverage, specific knowledge, and permissionless paths. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to analyze your career or business decision using Naval's perspective, for example by saying "Use Naval's perspective to evaluate whether I should go all-in on this startup idea."
