First Principles Decomposer

第一性原理拆解器

When To Use

适用场景

  • Designing new products or features
  • Feeling stuck on a complex problem
  • Existing solutions seem overcomplicated
  • Need to challenge assumptions
  • Starting any new project or initiative
  • 设计新产品或新功能
  • 被复杂问题卡住无从下手
  • 现有解决方案看起来过于复杂
  • 需要质疑现有假设
  • 启动任何新项目或新计划

The Process

操作流程

Phase 1: Identify Assumptions

阶段1：识别假设

Ask: "What am I assuming to be true that might not be?" List every assumption embedded in the current approach.
提问：“我认定为真、但实际可能不成立的假设有哪些？” 列出现有方案中隐含的所有假设。

Phase 2: Break to Atoms

阶段2：拆解到原子级

For each assumption, ask: "What is the most fundamental truth here?" Keep asking "why?" until you hit bedrock facts.
对每个假设提问：“这里最根本的事实是什么？” 持续追问“为什么”，直到触达不可撼动的基石事实。

Phase 3: Rebuild From Truth

阶段3：从事实出发重建方案

Starting ONLY from verified fundamentals, ask: "What's the simplest solution that addresses the core need?"
仅基于已验证的基本事实出发，提问： “满足核心需求的最简单解决方案是什么？”

Interactive Flow

交互流程

When user invokes this skill:
  1. Clarify the problem (1-2 questions max)
  2. Surface assumptions - list what's being taken for granted
  3. Decompose to fundamentals - show the atomic truths
  4. Rebuild solution - construct from ground up
  5. Compare - show how this differs from conventional approach
当用户调用该技能时：
  1. 明确问题（最多提问1-2个问题）
  2. 梳理假设 - 列出所有被默认成立的前提
  3. 拆解到基本事实 - 展示原子级底层事实
  4. 重建解决方案 - 从底层开始搭建方案
  5. 对比差异 - 展示该方案与传统方法的区别

PROBLEM: [stated problem]

ASSUMPTIONS IDENTIFIED:
1. [assumption] → Challenge: [why this might be wrong]
2. [assumption] → Challenge: [why this might be wrong]

FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS:
• [bedrock fact 1]
• [bedrock fact 2]
• [bedrock fact 3]

REBUILT SOLUTION:
[New approach built only from fundamentals]

VS CONVENTIONAL:
[How this differs from the obvious approach]

Example Triggers

触发示例

  • "Break down our parent communication problem from first principles"
  • "I want to rethink how we do [X] from the ground up"
  • "What are we assuming about [problem] that might be wrong?"
  • "用第一性原理拆解我们的家长沟通问题"
  • "我想从底层开始重新思考我们做[X]的方式"
  • "关于[某个问题]，我们有哪些可能错误的预设假设？"

Integration

组合使用

This skill compounds with:
  • inversion-strategist - After rebuilding from fundamentals, invert to find what would guarantee failure of the new approach
  • second-order-consequences - Project downstream effects of implementing the rebuilt solution
  • pre-mortem-analyst - Stress-test the rebuilt solution by imagining its failure
  • six-thinking-hats - Apply all six perspectives to validate each fundamental truth identified
该技能可与以下技能搭配使用：
  • inversion-strategist - 从基本事实重建方案后，用逆向思维找出会导致新方案失败的因素
  • second-order-consequences - 预测落地重建方案后的下游连锁影响
  • pre-mortem-analyst - 通过想象方案失败的场景对重建后的方案进行压力测试
  • six-thinking-hats - 应用六顶思考帽的所有视角，验证识别出的每一条基本事实
