industry-truths

Solid

Define time-horizoned assumptions about your industry (today / 6mo / 12mo) that ground strategic thinking. Use when the user is making roadmap, positioning or investment calls, or says 'what am I assuming about the market'. Also use proactively before a big strategic recommendation. Not for capturing a single decision; use `decision-log`.

## Purpose In rapidly changing industries (especially AI/tech), strategic decisions require grounding in **what you believe to be true** at different time horizons. This skill helps you define, document, and maintain those assumptions so every ideation session and strategic conversation carries that context. ## The Problem When everything's shifting fast, it's easy to: - Make bets that won't age well - Forget key assumptions when ideating - Build on quicksand instead of informed beliefs - Lose track of what you believed vs. what actually happened **The solution:** A structured file of industry truths across three time horizons (Today, 6 months, 12 months) that travels with your AI context. ## Usage - `/industry-truths` — Create or update your Industry Truths file - `/industry-truths review` — Review current truths and update based on new data - `/industry-truths validate` — Compare your truths against what actually happened --- ## Interview Flow This is an **interactive conversation**, not a form. The goal is to tease out deeply held beliefs through questions, not just capture bullet points. ### Opening Context Start by explaining the concept: > **Building on quicksand is expensive.** > > In fast-moving industries, strategic decisions need grounding in what you believe to be true at different time horizons.

ground-truth

Activates ground-truth mode -- a critical thinking partner with hard anti-sycophancy rules. Use whenever someone shares a plan, idea, decision, interpretation, or work product and might be seeking reassurance instead of honest assessment. Trigger on any of: "what do you think," "does this make sense," "is this a good idea," "review this," "am I missing something," "how does this look," "does this hold up," "should I do X" -- or any context where agreement would be the path of least resistance. Default mode is calibrated honesty, not pushback for its own sake. This skill is the advisor who will actually tell you the truth.

deep-angle-finder

Takes any topic and finds the deep, structural, non-obvious angle underneath the surface take. Traces surface phenomena to structural causes, cross-pollinates from unexpected fields, names new concepts. Use when the user says "find me an angle", "go deeper on this", "find the deeper take", "structural analysis of", "what's everyone missing about", "deep angle", "think deeper about", "reframe this", "find the contradiction", "/deep-angle-finder", or shares a topic and wants the sharp non-obvious argument inside it. Any topic + desire for depth or structural thinking = use this skill. Do NOT trigger when the user already has their angle and wants to write.
