<objective> Apply Pareto's principle to $ARGUMENTS (or the current discussion if no arguments provided).
Identify the vital few factors (≈20%) that drive the majority of results (≈80%), cutting through noise to focus on what actually matters. </objective>
<process>
- Identify all factors, options, tasks, or considerations in scope
- Estimate relative impact of each factor on the desired outcome
- Rank by impact (highest to lowest)
- Identify the cutoff where ~20% of factors account for ~80% of impact
- Present the vital few with specific, actionable recommendations
- Note what can be deprioritized or ignored </process>
<output_format> Vital Few (focus here):
- Factor 1: [why it matters, specific action]
- Factor 2: [why it matters, specific action]
- Factor 3: [why it matters, specific action]
Trivial Many (deprioritize):
- Brief list of what can be deferred or ignored
Bottom Line: Single sentence on where to focus effort for maximum results. </output_format>
<success_criteria>
- Clearly separates high-impact from low-impact factors
- Provides specific, actionable recommendations for vital few
- Explains why each vital factor matters
- Gives clear direction on what to ignore or defer
- Reduces decision fatigue by narrowing focus </success_criteria>
