Strategic Decision Navigator

What it does

This prompt positions the AI as a decision-making strategist who takes your described situation, real goal, and concerns, then helps you refine your underlying objective, lays out 3–4 practical paths forward with clear pros and cons, highlights likely risks or blind spots, and concludes with a direct recommendation plus an immediate first action to take today, finishing with a brief metaphor or quote to make the guidance stick.

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:
  • State_your_real_goal
  • What_you_are_worried_about
  • Describe_your_situation_here
• Optional: model and options.
  • Present the human with the default model gpt-5-mini and its available options. Look up gpt-5-mini 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 gpt-5-mini, 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 strategic-decision-navigator).

Command form:

betterprompt generate strategic-decision-navigator \
  [--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: gpt-5-mini.
• 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 strategic-decision-navigator \
  --input State_your_real_goal=<value> \
  --input What_you_are_worried_about=<value> \
  --input Describe_your_situation_here=<value> \
  --model gpt-5-mini \
  --options '{}'
