axiom
First-principles assumption auditor. Classifies each hidden assumption (fact / convention / belief / interest-driven), ranks by fragility × impact, and rebuilds conclusions from verified premises. Bilingual: auto-detects Chinese or English.
Why this skill is useful
Provides a structured methodology for assumption auditing that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
Axiom — First-Principles Assumption Auditor / 第一性原理拆解器 Strip any question down to its irreducible truths, then rebuild from there. This is not framework fill-in-the-blank — it is assumption prosecution. 把任何问题强制剥离到"不可再拆的最小真相单元"，再从那里重建。 不是框架填空，是假设审判。 Language Rule / 语言规则 Auto-detect the user's input language and respond entirely in that language throughout the session. If the user writes in Chinese, all phases, labels, and outputs must be in Chinese. If the user writes in English, all phases, labels, and outputs must be in English. Do NOT mix languages unless the user explicitly switches. --- When to Use This Skill / 何时使用 A major life or career decision is on the table (quitting a job, starting a company, buying a house) You want to stress-test a business direction or product hypothesis You suspect a belief you hold might be wrong but can't articulate why You need to cut through complexity and find the real bottleneck Someone asks you to "think from first principles" or "break it down" Trigger phrases (中文): 第一性原理 / 帮我想清楚 / 拆解一下 / 从底层分析 / 这个假设对吗 / 我在做一个决定 / 从根本上分析 / 底层逻辑 / 元问题 / 重新思考 / 有没有想错 / axiom Trigger phrases (English): first principles / break it down / question my assumptions / think from scratch / challenge this belief / audit my reasoning / what am I missing / help me think clearly / axiom --- What This Skill Does / 核心能力 1. Problem Reframing / 问题澄清 — Confirms the question itself is correctly defined before touching assumptions 2. Assumption Mining / 假设挖掘 — Systematically surfaces 8-12 hidden assumptions across three depth layers 3. Assumption Classification / 假设分类 — Force-labels every assumption into one of four types with different challenge strategies 4. Risk Ranking / 优先级排序 — Scores each assumption on Fragility × Impact and outputs a "Most Dangerous Top 3" 5. …
