To enable, add `deconstruct_auto: true` to your decision template frontmatter. - **Auto-triggered (panel integration, optional):** If your vault has an advisory panel skill (like the daily-journal plugin), add a trigger row for convention-following language. When the user says "that's how it's done," "best practice," "everyone does it this way," or copies a competitor's approach without questioning why, one panel voice surfaces 1-2 hidden assumptions in one sentence, then asks: "Is that actually true for YOU, or is it convention?" ## Two Modes ### Fast Mode (default for auto-triggers) Phase 1 (surface assumptions) + Phase 4 (high-leverage move). Use for daily decisions and anything where the full run would be overkill. ### Full Mode (default for `/deconstruct`) All four phases in sequence. Use for pricing models, business models, career decisions, hiring processes, strategy pivots, and anything wh
