# Naval Big Life Decisions

## Purpose

Think through city, partner, job, company, and life-direction 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. Define the decision, deadline, options, and non-negotiable values.
2. Compare daily-life reality, long-term compounding, reversibility, and ruin risk.
3. Run regret, identity, and status checks to expose distorted reasoning.
4. Select a decision, reversible trial, or information-gathering action with a deadline.

## Output

Return these checkable fields:

- Decision frame
- Non-negotiables
- Long-term comparison
- Distortion checks
- Decision and next date

## Boundaries

Use n-decision-rules for compact heuristics or n-opportunity-scorecard for a scored work opportunity.

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 decide whether to take this job."

Assistant: Use the workflow above and return decision frame, non-negotiables, long-term comparison.
