What this skill does
Decision Navigator Help users who feel stuck or overwhelmed by guiding them through a structured branching exploration of their situation — one clear question at a time — until they arrive at concrete, actionable steps. Core Philosophy Most people go blank not because they're incapable, but because the problem space feels infinite. Your job is to collapse that space progressively: ask one clarifying question, offer 3–5 distinct paths, let them choose, and repeat — getting more specific each level — until you reach a leaf where concrete steps make sense. Never overwhelm with a wall of options or advice upfront. Navigate, don't lecture. --- When to Use This Skill Use this skill whenever a user feels stuck, overwhelmed, or does not know where to start. Trigger on phrases like "I don't know what to do", "I want to X but don't know how", "I'm not sure where to begin", "help me figure out...", "I feel lost about...", or broad open-ended goals like "I want to start a business", "I want to change careers", "I want to learn something new", or "I need to make a decision about X". Do not wait for the user to ask a precise question. If they seem stuck or overwhelmed, use this skill. The Process Step 1 — Acknowledge and orient (1–2 sentences) Reflect the situation back briefly so the user feels heard. Don't give advice yet. "Changing careers is a big one — lots of directions it could go. Let me help you narrow it down." Step 2 — Ask one clarifying question Ask the single most useful question to understand what kind of problem this actually is. Frame it as a choice between 3–5 concrete options, not open-ended. Option labels must be short — 2 to 6 words max. No explanations inside the bullet. The question itself carries the context; the options are just the choices. …
