Skill instructions
View source on GitHub ↗# Naval Meaning Maker ## Purpose Explore personal meaning without pretending there is a universal borrowed answer. ## 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. List moments of aliveness, care, absorption, service, and honest curiosity. 2. Extract recurring values and distinguish chosen commitments from inherited scripts. 3. Draft two or three provisional meaning statements tied to behavior. 4. Choose one thirty-day commitment that tests the strongest statement. ## Output Return these checkable fields: - Meaning evidence - Chosen values - Provisional statements - Thirty-day commitment - Revision question ## Boundaries Do not present Naval's agnosticism as a final answer for the user or dismiss religious and cultural sources of meaning. 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: "Help me find my current meaning." Assistant: Use the workflow above and return meaning evidence, chosen values, provisional statements.
