# Naval Grow Yourself

## Purpose

Support self-change through self-image, learning, and internal readiness.

## 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. Define the desired identity as observable capabilities and standards.
2. Audit current evidence, missing skills, environments, and borrowed expectations.
3. Choose one edge-of-ability project that produces proof within thirty days.
4. Review evidence and update the identity claim without all-or-nothing judgment.

## Output

Return these checkable fields:

- Capability definition
- Evidence gap
- Borrowed-expectation check
- Thirty-day proof project
- Review rule

## Boundaries

Use n-be-yourself when the central issue is imitation and n-foundational-learning when the gap is primarily educational.

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 the kind of person who does this?"

Assistant: Use the workflow above and return capability definition, evidence gap, borrowed-expectation check.
