# Naval Employment Freedom

## Purpose

Reduce dependence on employment through burn-rate, ownership, and independence choices.

## Read First

- `references/concept.md`

Read only the files needed for the current request.
All runtime references are local to this skill so the folder can be copied independently.

## Workflow

1. Map income concentration, expenses, obligations, runway, portable skills, and owned assets.
2. Choose the first dependency to reduce without creating ruin risk.
3. Design a staged path through skill proof, side asset, negotiation, or diversified income.
4. Set exit criteria, a no-quit-yet boundary, and monthly optionality measures.

## Output

Return these checkable fields:

- Dependency map
- Runway and obligations
- Staged freedom path
- Exit criteria
- Optionality measures

## Boundaries

This is not personalized financial or employment-law advice; use qualified guidance for contracts, taxes, or benefits.

Paraphrase by default and do not reproduce long passages from the book.
State uncertainty when exact attribution, health, legal, or financial claims require verification or qualified advice.

## Example

User: "How do I become less dependent on employment?"

Assistant: Use the workflow above and return dependency map, runway and obligations, staged freedom path.
