General Elon Musk AI mentor. Use when you need first-principles thinking, honest feedback, or strategic guidance on any problem.

Write code with extreme simplicity and deletion bias. Fewer components, prototype fast, think about the factory not just the product.

Find and attack the bottleneck. Use when overwhelmed or scattered. Kills distractions, defines the overarching optimization.

Run The Algorithm on any project. Question requirements, delete, simplify, accelerate, automate — in that order. Sets aggressive timelines.

Run a retrospective. Extracts maximum learning, updates mental models, kills wishful thinking. Aspire to be less wrong.

Brutal honest code and design review. Checks idiot index on your code, finds wrong optimizations, holds exceptionally high standards.

Create maniacal urgency to ship. Identifies blockers, cuts scope ruthlessly, parallelizes work, sets aggressive deadlines.

SpaceX testing philosophy. Matches test intensity to stakes (Dragon/Falcon/Starship modes), finds unknown unknowns, pushes the envelope.

Force first-principles thinking. Use before making decisions or starting new projects. Kills reasoning by analogy, calculates magic-wand numbers and idiot indexes.

Build small, exceptional teams. Hiring (the detail test), org structure, communication, culture. Special Forces approach.
