File contents

Diagnose / Apply Split

For complex methodology books where one Skill is too broad.
Template only — fill with your own learn/ outputs; never paste copyrighted excerpts.

When to split

Signal	Action
Method has numbered steps and analysis frameworks	Consider split
Users ask both "review my plan" and "write the deliverable"	Split
Book is mostly reference / Q&A	Single Skill or HTML only

Two skills

Skill	Job	Example triggers
diagnose	Analyze current state with book's questions/frameworks	"review this PRD", "what's wrong with our funnel"
apply	Produce structured output with book's steps/templates	"draft the spec", "fill the template"

Fictional example (not a real book)

Book: Product Decision Patterns (fictional)

	diagnose	apply
Trigger	"evaluate this feature idea"	"write the one-pager"
Input	Problem statement + constraints	Approved direction from diagnose
Output	Gap list + risks + questions for stakeholders	Filled one-pager markdown
Must not	Write full spec	Re-run full market analysis

Agent workflow

User finishing book-learn-distill Equip for a complex book
Read learn/ framework + steps (user's private repo)
Copy references/template.md
Draft two SKILL.md files: skills/<slug>/diagnose/ and skills/<slug>/apply/
Run skill-activation-test on each

Negative constraints

Do not embed book excerpts in public copies
Do not use real author personas without rights
diagnose must not silently do apply's deliverable
