Based on SOC occupation classification
Route any input through a branching question tree to narrow down the optimal response strategy before writing. Two stages — PERCEIVE (classify input) then ACT (select response). Covers all prompt types.
Generate exhaustive guesses about user input using ALL search methods with coverage tracking. Guessing is SEARCH through possibility space. Tracks space created vs space covered to ensure comprehensive exploration.
Systematically evaluate and select from a set of guesses, options, or possibilities. Combines ARAW analysis with prioritization to determine which guesses are strong, weak, actionable, or eliminable.
Extract hidden assumptions from any content. Surfaces what must be true for claims to hold, enabling deeper analysis.
Sub-orchestrator for analytical requests. Routes to decomposition, systems analysis, comparison, risk assessment, or synthesis based on what kind of analysis is needed.
Assume Right - Deep recursive rightness search. For every claim, assume it's right — find what must follow, then assume THOSE implications are right too. Recurse until bedrock. Track every claim found.

Input: $ARGUMENTS
MESSAGE ESSENCE: [In one sentence, what needs to be communicated]
SENDER: [Who is communicating]
CONTEXT: [Why this communication is happening now]
AUDIENCE: [Who will receive this]
AUDIENCE SIZE: [One person / small group / large group / public]
AUDIENCE STATE:
- They currently know: [what they already understand]
- They currently feel: [their likely emotional state]
- They currently expect: [what they think is coming]
AUDIENCE NEEDS:
- They need to know: [essential information]

What type of communication is this?
| Goal | Signal |
|---|---|
| Inform | Audience needs to know something |
| Persuade | Audience needs to change their mind or agree |
| Instruct | Audience needs to do something specific |
| Align | Multiple parties need to reach shared understanding |
| Inspire | Audience needs motivation or energy |
PRIMARY GOAL: [Inform / Persuade / Instruct / Align / Inspire]
SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE: [What the audience thinks, feels, or does after]
RECOMMENDED MEDIUM: [Email / meeting / document / presentation / conversation / message]
REASON: [Why this medium fits the audience and goal]
STRUCTURE:
1. [Open with: hook, context, or headline]
2. [Core content: the main message]
3. [Support: evidence, examples, or detail]
4. [Close: action item, next step, or summary]
LIKELY QUESTIONS:
- [Question 1] — answer: [brief response]
- [Question 2] — answer: [brief response]
LIKELY OBJECTIONS:
- [Objection 1] — response: [how to address it]
- [Objection 2] — response: [how to address it]
EMOTIONAL REACTIONS:
- [Possible reaction] — handle by: [approach]
Write the actual message, applying all of the above.
[DRAFT]
[The complete communication, ready to use or refine]
[/DRAFT]
TONE CHECK: [Does the tone match the audience and goal? Adjust if needed]
LENGTH CHECK: [Is it the right length? Shorter is almost always better]
CLARITY CHECK: [Could anyone misunderstand this? Fix ambiguity]
GENERATION FAILURE CHECK:
- Voice collapse: Could any AI assistant have written this? If the communication sounds interchangeable with a template, rewrite with the sender's actual voice — word choices, rhythms, specificity that only THIS person in THIS context would use.
- Cached takes: Is any part of the message something that's been said in 10,000 other communications? ("We're excited to announce..." / "In today's fast-paced environment..." / "We value your partnership.") Replace with something only true of THIS situation.
- Performed humility: Is there a "to be sure" or "we recognize" paragraph that exists to look balanced? Delete it. If the piece is the same or better without it, it was performance.
