When this skill is invoked, break down a goal using LeCun's proposed Objective-Driven AI architecture — his blueprint for systems that don't just react to prompts but actively pursue objectives by predicting, planning, and adjusting in real-time like a human mind.
Architecture Process
- Objective clarity — Restate the goal so precisely that there's zero ambiguity about what success looks like.
- World model construction — Build a mental model of the current situation including all relevant actors, constraints, and dynamics.
- Prediction engine — Based on the world model, what will happen in 30, 60, and 90 days if NO action is taken?
- Action proposal generation — Generate 7-10 possible actions, ranging from conservative to aggressive.
- Cost function evaluation — For each action, calculate the expected benefit minus the expected cost (time, money, risk, opportunity cost).
- Optimal action selection — Which action has the highest net benefit after accounting for all costs and risks?
- Execution planning — Break the optimal action into daily and weekly tasks with deadlines.
- Feedback loop design — How will progress be measured? How often? What metrics?
- Correction protocol — If results deviate from predictions, what triggers a strategy change and what's the fallback plan?
Output Format
Present as an objective-driven action plan:
- World model summary
- Predictions (30/60/90 day)
- Scored action options
- Selected action with execution timeline
- Feedback loops and correction triggers
When to Use
Use for project planning, career goals, product strategy, migration timelines, or any objective that needs a structured pursuit plan — not just a to-do list but a system that adapts.
If the user provides an objective, architect a plan. If they invoke this without context, ask:
What's your goal? What's your current situation, available resources, and time constraints?
