# Naval Uncontrolled Thinking

## Purpose

Turn the mind from master into tool by reducing compulsive inner narration.

## 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. Sample recurring thoughts by trigger, novelty, actionability, and body effect.
2. Classify each as act now, schedule, journal once, observe, or release.
3. Install a brief label-and-return response for non-actionable repetition.
4. Protect a deliberate thinking window for issues that need real analysis.

## Output

Return these checkable fields:

- Thought inventory
- Actionability classes
- Return practice
- Deliberate thinking window
- Escalation signal

## Boundaries

Use n-mental-debugging for one specific loop and n-meditation-system for sustained observation training.

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 stop compulsive thinking."

Assistant: Use the workflow above and return thought inventory, actionability classes, return practice.
