Transform impossible or problematic goals into achievable versions. No such thing as an impossible goal - only insufficient decomposition. Includes explicit substitution handling.

Orderings derived from graph traversal algorithms โ BFS for breadth, DFS for depth, topological for dependencies.
The fundamental pattern for making cognitive tasks tractable: Generate possibilities, then Search using criteria.
MANDATORY first step before attempting any goal. Parses input as guesses, classifies OPEN vs CLOSED, fills goal journey structure. Includes clarification vs substitution check.
Designs a plan to build a new habit or break an old one using cue-routine-reward structure, environment design, and obstacle planning.
Convert maximally ambiguous 'handle this' requests into a classified task type, a concrete first action, and an ordered next-skill sequence.
Comprehensive procedure for health-related goals including fitness, nutrition, sleep, energy, and wellness.
Sub-orchestrator for method-seeking. Routes to FOHT method discovery, step generation, goal clarification, or alternative framing based on what's defined and how complex the task is.
Learn from what happened before to predict what happens next. Identify recurring patterns, test causality, and project forward.
Apply maximum rigor to a problem โ no shortcuts, no defaults, no simplifications. Every assumption surfaced, every edge case considered, every tradeoff explicit. For when getting it wrong is expensive.
Handle goals and plans in rapidly changing environments where conditions shift faster than normal planning cycles.
Detect idea sprawl, compress scope aggressively, and return to the highest-leverage next actions โ preserving valuable ideas without letting them derail execution.
Re-express a goal, claim, or plan in genuinely alternative forms that preserve intent while changing approach, then rank alternatives by fit.
Evaluate claims about what someone wants or intends. Check behavioral evidence, stated vs revealed preferences, and alternative intentions.
Handler for goals where SUCCESS IS DISCOVERING THE UNKNOWN, not executing a known plan.
Entry point for total uncertainty. When you don't know what you want, what to do, or what's happening โ start here.
Procedure for working with ideas. Captures the idea precisely, assesses novelty and feasibility, identifies the core insight, finds connections, and determines next steps.
A systematic search for non-obvious strategies using cross-domain mapping, gap search, and strategy inversion.
Handle goals driven by intuition rather than explicit reasoning โ validate the intuition, find the underlying pattern, convert to actionable goal.
Decide what information, concerns, and possibilities to deliberately ignore. Productive neglect through systematic triage.
Find what's obviously missing RIGHT NOW. Fast, ruthless prioritization of urgent gaps in the current state.
Auto-diagnose the reasoning toolkit as a whole โ identify quality gaps, missing skills, structural inconsistencies, integration failures, and improvement priorities across the entire skill library.
Systematically improve a single skill by diagnosing its weaknesses against the quality standard, generating specific fixes, applying them, and verifying the result meets all structural and content requirements.
Systematically improve multiple skills by triaging them against the quality standard, prioritizing by severity and impact, and applying /imps to each in the optimal order.
Analyzes something from the perspective of a single person. Identifies goals, resources, constraints, skills, and context to optimize for individual agency and autonomy.
Guides the design of skills that can be inserted into other skills as steps โ working as both standalone tools and embedded gates/checks within host skills.
Synthesize insights from multiple sources into coherent, actionable understanding. Combines extraction, inversion, and analogy into unified insights.
Generate genuine insights by identifying stuck-points, inverting assumptions, changing representations, using incubation, and crystallizing through stability tests.
Process 'I think' statements into explicit claims with confidence levels, evidence/assumption separation, and next verification actions.
Transform seemingly impossible goals into achievable ones by systematically challenging what makes them impossible.
Decompose a prompt into its explicit requests, implicit requests, constraints, assumptions, emotional signals, and candidate skill mappings โ making every part visible.
Systematic procedure for making good judgments under uncertainty. Separates facts from interpretation, checks calibration against base rates, and produces an explicit confidence level.
Convert knowledge into action by diagnosing what actually blocks execution: unclear steps, activation energy, competing commitments, emotional barriers, or identity conflicts.
Orderings based on local search optimization โ improve from current position, escape local optima, systematic exploration with memory.
Orderings optimized for acquiring knowledge, validating hypotheses, and iterative learning when understanding matters more than speed.
Handle goals that depend partly on luck or chance โ maximize controllable factors, create multiple shots, build resilience.
Apply structured legal thinking to a situation. Identifies relevant legal domains, analyzes facts against rules, and surfaces risks and obligations.
Create rigorous, useful lists with clear scope, inclusion rules, ordering logic, coverage checks, and concise rationale per item โ avoiding the common failures of vagueness, gaps, and inconsistent granularity.
Assess whether a task is well-suited for LLM execution. Checks factual accuracy needs, context window requirements, hallucination risks, output verifiability, and recommends guardrails.
For when you had a direction but lost it. Helps you find whether the goal changed, you changed, or the situation changed โ and what to do next.
