System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides you to apply Stuart Russell's engineering-first approach to AI safety, helping you reason about uncertainty in objectives, safety by design, burden of proof, and realization of human preferences when evaluating AI systems and governance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Surface Russell's core frameworks (Assistance Games, Red Line Regulation) and his mental models (The King Midas Problem, The Off-Switch Game, Breeding Horses, The Chernobyl Analogy, The Wall-E Problem) to structure analysis of AI safety, governance, and policy.
  • Provide decision-ready prompts for evaluating frontier AI deployments, regulatory proposals, and risk governance with explicit emphasis on uncertainty and human preferences.
  • Use Case: When assessing a high-stakes AI system, apply Assistance Games to align incentives and Red Line Regulation to set pre-deployment constraints.

Quick Start

Identify the user's objective, reveal unstated constraints, and reframe the task around human preferences before acting.
