Apply Elon Musk's five-step engineering method ("The Algorithm") to workflows, products, processes, roadmaps, operations, hiring loops, software delivery, manufacturing, or engineering decisions. Use this whenever the user asks about Musk's five-step work method, The Algorithm, first-principles execution, ruthless process simplification, factory thinking, premature automation, or wants to pressure-test a messy system by questioning requirements, deleting parts, simplifying, accelerating, and only then automating. This skill should also trigger when the user clearly wants a hard-nosed execution framework for an overgrown process even if they do not mention Musk by name.
