Claude Skills by deciqAI

"Activate when: user says 'Pareto,' '80/20,' 'vital few,' 'long tail,' 'where is the leverage'; a team is treating many items as equally important; a backlog has no triage; growth efforts are spread thin across too many initiatives.

"Activate when: user says 'how will they remember this,' 'experience design,' 'journey design,' 'memorable moment,' 'end-of-experience,' or 'our NPS is lower than expected'; when designing or auditing a multi-stage customer or user journey; when a competitor with similar quality earns higher recommendation rates.

Activate when: user says "PMF," "product-market fit," "crossing the chasm," "early adopter to mainstream," "whole product," "we're stuck after our beachhead," or "growth stalled after an initial good period"; startup has early traction but can't tell if it's real; team is debating which segment to target next after winning early fans. Do NOT activate when: the product has no users yet (use lean-startup instead); the business is already category-mature and the question is about scaling proven ...

Activate when: user says 'we're good at X but not growing,' 'we need a moat,' 'we're just a feature not a platform,' 'competition keeps copying us,' 'we want to build something hard to replicate,' or asks how to move from product to platform to ecosystem. Do NOT activate when: the user is still searching for product-market fit (the point-level value hasn't been validated yet); or when the question is purely about execution speed or cost within an existing market (a line-level optimization, no...

"Activate when: user asks 'is this a good industry to enter?', 'why is our margin so low despite solid execution?', 'what are the barriers to entry here?', 'how much power do our suppliers/buyers have?', 'should we invest in this sector?', or requests a structured competitive/industry analysis.

Activate when: a product is 'a better X' but nobody gets it; 'people don't understand what we do', weak conversion despite a good product, choosing a category/competitive frame; naming what you are. Do NOT activate when: positioning is already clear and validated and the task is execution, not repositioning. More: deciqai.com/s/positioning-obviously-awesome

"Activate when: user is allocating capital or resources across a portfolio and wants to know where to concentrate; user says 'our average customer / deal / employee performs at X' and is making decisions from that average; user is building a risk model using standard deviation or VaR; user asks why a few customers or deals drive almost all revenue; user is evaluating VC fund returns or startup portfolio outcomes.

"Activate when: user says 'let's check what could go wrong before we commit', 'I want to stress-test this plan', 'we're about to launch and I'm worried we're missing something', 'premortem', or is about to make a hard-to-reverse decision with a team that has converged on one plan.

"Activate when: user says 'how should we price this', 'we should just charge more', 'our competitors charge X', 'willingness to pay', 'anchor price', 'value-based pricing', 'freemium structure', setting a first price for a new product, considering a price increase and worried about churn, or needing to design tiered/usage-based pricing.

"Activate when: someone asks why an employee, executive, contractor, board member, or fund manager isn't acting in the org's interest; a compensation or incentive structure is being designed; outsourcing or partnership terms are being negotiated; someone says 'agency cost,' 'moral hazard,' 'skin in the game,' or 'incentive misalignment.'

"Activate when: user asks 'why does everyone keep doing X when it's obviously bad for all of us', 'how do we get out of this race to the bottom', 'should we trust them not to defect', 'we'd both be better off cooperating but it never happens', 'is this a prisoner's dilemma / Nash equilibrium / tragedy of the commons / race to the bottom'.

"Activate when: user says 'what are the odds,' 'base rate,' 'Bayesian update,' 'calibration,' or 'what's the probability'; user is making a forecast or estimating a conversion/close/hire/outcome probability; someone claims 'I'm 90% sure' without any evidence grounding; a vivid story is being used in place of a prior frequency; team is treating an uncertain outcome as binary will/won't.

Activate when: a founder needs to know if the company survives without more funding; 'are we default alive or default dead', deciding to cut burn or raise, bootstrapping to survival; runway math. Do NOT activate when: the company is already comfortably profitable and the question is scaling, not survival. More: deciqai.com/s/ramen-profitability

Activate when: a real estate agent wants clients who refer and return; designing the closing/handoff experience, milestone moments in a transaction; 'how do I get more referrals from happy clients'. Do NOT activate when: the transaction is transactional-only with no relationship goal (e.g. one-off REO). More: deciqai.com/s/realtor-closing-experience-peak-end

Activate when: a listing isn't selling and the agent must decide list price or a price reduction; 'should we drop the price', 'how much and when', days-on-market rising, showings without offers. Do NOT activate when: the property is priced right and getting offers (no decision). More: deciqai.com/s/realtor-price-reduction-decision

Activate when: a real estate agent wants repeat + referral business instead of chasing cold leads; 'where's my next deal coming from', building a sphere-of-influence / past-client nurture, database marketing. Do NOT activate when: the agent has no past clients/contacts yet (start with lead-gen basics first). More: deciqai.com/s/realtor-sphere-of-influence-ladder

Activate when: a real estate agent is running a listing/transaction and must not skip disclosure, agency, and fair-housing steps; 'what do I need to disclose', writing an ad, handling an offer, closing coordination. Do NOT activate when: the question is pure market/pricing analysis with no compliance step. More: deciqai.com/s/realtor-transaction-fair-housing-checklist

Activate when: someone is being unexpectedly generous before making a request; you're deciding whether to accept a gift, free sample, or unsolicited concession; you're designing a sales or fundraising sequence and want to give first; a negotiation counterpart just retreated from an extreme position and you feel pulled to match; you're asking "why do they keep buying me lunch?" or "should I send a gift first?" Do NOT activate when: the exchange is explicitly priced (commerce, not reciprocity);...

Activate when: user says 'we keep investing but market share won't move,' 'why does nobody make money in this industry,' 'our competitor copied us again within a year,' 'we improve but the gap stays the same,' or is evaluating whether to enter a low-margin high-activity industry. Do NOT activate when: the competitive advantage is protected by strong IP, regulatory approval, or deep network effects that genuinely slow imitation; or when the situation is pre-competitive with no direct rivals ye...

Activate when: a founder wants customers to bring customers; 'how do we get referrals / word of mouth', designing a referral program, improving virality; loops, incentives, timing. Do NOT activate when: the product has weak retention/love (fix that first — referrals amplify a leaky bucket). More: deciqai.com/s/referral-loop-design

Activate when: someone says 'things always bounce back,' wonders why an intervention seemed to work on a struggling team, is surprised their star performer regressed, is evaluating whether a coaching/bonus/firing had an effect, or is interpreting before-vs-after performance changes without a control group. Do NOT activate when: the measurement is genuinely noise-free (e.g., deterministic process outputs); the underlying signal has demonstrably changed due to a structural shift (new product la...

"Activate when: user says 'what would my 80-year-old self think', 'if I never try this will I regret it', 'I keep hesitating but the math is clear', 'regret minimization', or faces a major hard-to-reverse life decision (career pivot, founding a company, relocation, leaving a relationship) where the units are joy/meaning/identity rather than money.

Activate when: user asks how to build trust with a repeat counterparty, whether to retaliate after a partner defected, how to design a reputation system, whether a long-term relationship can survive betrayal, or says 'shadow of the future / tit-for-tat / burn this bridge / they'll remember this / build credibility.' Do NOT activate when: interaction is genuinely one-shot with no third-party observers (use prisoners-dilemma), or situation is zero-sum competition where repetition entrenches riv...

"Activate when: user says 'this person/startup looks like a winner', 'I know one when I see it', 'they have the profile of a great hire', 'this reminds me of [famous success]', or any judgment where a vivid profile drives a probability estimate without an explicit base rate. Also activate when auditing for the conjunction fallacy or when pattern-matching is cited as the basis for a high-stakes decision.

Activate when: user says 'I feel stuck at a ceiling in my role,' 'what separates good managers from great ones,' 'why can't we solve this class of problem,' 'how do I operate at a higher level,' or a team is consistently reactive rather than proactive. Do NOT activate when: the problem is a purely technical skill gap; the goal is near-term output optimization rather than capability development. More: deciqai.com/s/resource-integration-hierarchy

Activate when: user says 'this will take years', 'we need to build this from scratch', 'we don't have the resources to move faster', 'how do we compress our timeline', 'competitors are already ahead and we can't catch up sequentially', or when a goal is achievable but the default sequential plan is too slow for the market window. Do NOT activate when: the bottleneck is a genuine sequential dependency that cannot be parallelized (e.g., regulatory approval must precede launch); or when required...

"Diagnoses how consuming external AI forces you to reveal proprietary knowledge — your 'intelligence exhaust' (prompts, tool calls, corrections, evals) — to whoever controls the learning infrastructure, and prescribes a trust boundary that keeps your data, evals, memory, adapted weights, and learning loops inside your tenant while decoupling orchestration from any single provider.

Activate when: annual ADV amendment season; onboarding/updating Form CRS delivery; launching marketing/testimonials; a mock/real exam; 'are we books-and-records compliant?', 'can we post this ad/testimonial?'.

Activate when: a market drop has clients wanting to sell; framing performance reviews; onboarding risk tolerance; 'clients panic in downturns,' 'how do I keep them invested?'.

Activate when: sizing a single-name or thematic position; a client with concentrated stock; setting max-position/rebalancing bands; 'how much of the portfolio should this be?'. Do NOT activate when: broad index allocation already governed by the IPS. More: deciqai.com/s/ria-position-sizing-kelly

Activate when: user asks "why has our growth stalled after early success?", "when will this market saturate?", "we used to grow easily, now it's hard", "how do we cross the chasm?", "we need to reach mainstream buyers", "our marketing stopped working", "what adopter stage are we in?", or mentions S-curve, diffusion of innovations, Rogers, early adopters, majority, laggards, Bass diffusion model, or technology adoption lifecycle. Do NOT activate when: the market is already mature/saturated wit...

"Activate when: user says 'what are the scenarios,' 'stress test our strategy,' 'what if X happens,' 'multiple futures,' 'strategic resilience,' or is making a high-stakes irreversible decision with a 3+ year horizon where a single forecast could be catastrophically wrong.

Activate when: user says 'our growth is slowing and we need to figure out what's next', 'we keep doubling down on the core but I'm worried about disruption', 'when is the right time to start something new alongside the main business', 'should we diversify now or wait', 'competitors are moving into adjacent spaces'. Do NOT activate when: the company has not yet reached product-market fit; resources are so constrained that any investment outside the core would kill the business. More: deciqai.c...

Activate when: user says 'and then what?', 'what are the second-order effects?', 'what could go wrong downstream?', 'what happens once everyone does this?', or brings a decision where the immediate effect is clear but downstream effects are not, or says 'everyone agrees this is good.' Do NOT activate when: the decision is genuinely low-stakes and reversible (e.g., a variable rename), or the user lacks a causal model and needs to build understanding first before tracing consequences. More: dec...

Activate when: user says "I've been working hard but I'm not growing," development programs feel pointless, a leader has plateaued despite strong expertise, someone asks "how do I grow as a person / leader / founder," or high-quality output isn't translating into organizational influence. Do NOT activate when: the gap is a specific functional skill (use deliberate-practice instead); the person is in acute crisis (financial, health, relationship) — address the acute situation first. More: deci...

Activate when: someone says "I keep reverting to old habits," "our strategy worked five years ago but not now," "I know I should think differently but can't seem to," "how do I stay relevant," or a leader/team is operating on prior-era assumptions in a changed environment. Do NOT activate when: the underlying belief is still valid and the environment hasn't changed (renewal for its own sake produces instability), or someone is in acute crisis and needs stability rather than dismantling. More:...

Activate when: user says 'seven questions,' 'Zero to One test,' 'Thiel checklist,' 'should I start this business,' 'is this startup idea any good,' or 'stress-test my startup idea'; a business idea, pivot, product line, or funding decision is about to proceed on enthusiasm rather than evidence; a pitch or plan is strong on one dimension (usually technology or market size) and silent on the others; the user wants a structured go/no-go gate before committing capital, time, or reputation to a ve...

"Activate when: user says 'my management style isn't working for this person', 'I don't know how much to delegate', 'my top performer is disengaged', 'my new hire is struggling without guidance', 'should I give him more autonomy?', or asks how to lead/manage a specific person on a specific task.

Activate when: a meeting keeps going in circles, people have different agendas, someone says 'we need structure' or 'let's look at this from all angles,' a proposal needs evaluation from multiple sides, or creative ideas keep getting killed before development. Do NOT activate when: the question has a clear empirical answer (use critical-thinking instead), or time is under 10 minutes and no setup is possible. More: deciqai.com/s/six-thinking-hats

Do NOT activate when: the decision is low-stakes and reversible (choosing a lunch spot) or the user already has direct measured evidence stronger than any consensus signal. More: deciqai.com/s/social-proof

Activate when: a founder is the bottleneck on repetitive work, or wants to delegate/automate to people or AI agents; 'everything depends on me', 'how do I document this', turning recurring tasks into repeatable processes. Do NOT activate when: the task is genuinely one-off and non-recurring. More: deciqai.com/s/sop-systemization

"Activate when: user says 'we've always done it this way', 'changing now would be too disruptive', or 'no one is complaining so why change'; a team is slow to adopt a clearly better option; someone frames inaction as safe when omission carries real costs; you are designing enrollment/default settings and need to choose opt-in vs opt-out.

"Activate when: someone says 'they don't believe we'll follow through', 'how do I make my threat credible?', 'how do we deter a competitor from entering?', 'we need to lock in this customer/partner', 'should we burn our bridges?', or when a stated threat or promise is being discounted by the other side.

Activate when: strategy results are consistently below target despite strong market conditions; a team agrees on a plan but results fall far short; diagnosing why execution broke down after a leadership change or merger; auditing whether the organization can support a new growth phase. Do NOT activate when: the team is fewer than 10 people with no defined organizational system; no strategy exists yet and the task is pure strategy formulation. More: deciqai.com/s/strategic-execution-3d9

"Activate when: organization's strategy is losing momentum despite doing the right things; team disagrees on which strategic phase they're in; deciding whether to push deeper into current strategy or start a new cycle; setting phase-appropriate goals and resource allocation; preparing a mid-cycle board or investor assessment.
