Decision Filter Stay Focused Achieve Your Long Term Goals

What it does

This prompt asks the AI to help you design a simple, repeatable decision filter for evaluating new options or opportunities against your long-term goals so you can stay focused. It guides you to clarify your priorities, define objective criteria (e.g., goal alignment, impact, time cost, opportunity cost, and timing), and produce a checklist or scoring rubric you can apply quickly whenever a distraction appears. The outcome is a practical framework—often including rules for when to say yes/no, a short set of questions to ask, and a process for parking ideas—that reduces impulsive pivots and keeps your time and energy aligned with what matters most.

Inputs

textInputs

Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.

Models and options

This skill's modality is: text.

To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "text".

How to run

Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "text" to discover valid models and available options:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:

• Required text inputs:
  • options_or_opportunities
• Optional: model and options.
  • Present the human with the default model gemini-2.5-pro-preview and its available options. Look up gemini-2.5-pro-preview in the betterprompt resources output (filtered to modality "text") and show its availableOptions as: key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value (default) if it matches these defaults: {}.
  • If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model gemini-2.5-pro-preview, options {}. Other models from the resources call are also available.

If any required text input is missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values.

Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use decision-filter-stay-focused-achieve-your-long-term-goals).

Command form:

betterprompt generate decision-filter-stay-focused-achieve-your-long-term-goals \
  [--input <key>=<value>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]

Notes:

• Pass each text input as a separate --input <key>=<value> flag.
• If the human does not mention a model, omit --model and BetterPrompt will use the default model: gemini-2.5-pro-preview.
• If the human does not mention options, omit --options and BetterPrompt will use the default options: {}.
• If the run times out, the response will include a runId you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

betterprompt generate decision-filter-stay-focused-achieve-your-long-term-goals \
  --input options_or_opportunities=<value> \
  --model gemini-2.5-pro-preview \
  --options '{}'
