When to use this skill
- Need to organize scattered materials or search results into a decision-ready brief.
- Need to clearly define "known facts, assumptions, uncertainties, and next-step validation plan."
Required Inputs
- Goal and decision context: What problem are we solving / what decision are we making?
- Specific question list: priorities, success criteria, time constraints.
- Existing materials: links, data, key points from expert interviews; credibility or bias.
- Output audience: executive/technical/operations? Expected length and language.
Workflow
- Focus the question: Rewrite a 1–3 sentence problem statement + success criteria; list priorities.
- Organize evidence: Archive sources by question (data/documents/interviews), record source and date; flag credibility or potential bias.
- Analysis and judgment:
- Distill key findings (fact + interpretation + impact).
- Distinguish "fact vs. assumption vs. unverified risk."
- When contradictions or gaps are found, write down the additional data/experiments needed.
- Output structure:
- TL;DR (3–5 conclusions or insights, including impact and recommendations)
- Key findings (grouped by question, with evidence citations)
- Uncertainties and risks (missing data, sample bias, time-sensitive information)
- Next steps (what to validate, how to do it, by whom, deadline)
- Appendix: source list, citations, data methodology notes.
- Quality check: Citations are traceable; figures note methodology/time; clearly state the parts that are "I don't know" or "still need validation."
Output Format Example
Present with Markdown paragraphs and lists; when citing sources, annotate in parentheses (来源/时间); if it is an assumption, mark it [假设]; recommend using a table to list "Question / Key Findings / Evidence / Risks / Recommended Actions."
Final Checklist
- Each conclusion can be mapped to specific evidence or noted as an assumption.
- Gaps and next-step validation methods have been marked.
- Readers can understand the background, conclusions, and recommended actions without additional context.
