4 source-grounded skills. Load one workflow at a time.
Agency Gap Diagnosis
Use this workflow when a person or team appears passive, merely compliant, loudly confident, impulsively active, or reliably disciplined without closing undefined outcome gaps, and the real bottleneck among judgment, responsibility, initiative, discipline, decision rights, context, skill, and feedback must be diagnosed from behavior.
Output specification
Return a behavioral evidence table, four-component assessment, confidence, contextual constraints, agency-enemy findings, binding bottleneck, non-diagnostic alternative explanations, intervention, owner, and observable retest.
Constraint Reframe Drill
Use this workflow when helplessness, drift, dependency, excessive escalation, unclear priorities, responsibility without authority, or a history of punished initiative has made action feel futile, and a person or team needs to separate hard constraints from inherited assumptions and recover a bounded sphere of influence.
Output specification
Return an outcome statement, constraint classification, verified boundaries, sphere-of-influence map, bounded action, escalation brief, priority tradeoff, dependency reduction, owner, evidence, and review date.
High Agency Retrospective
Use this workflow when initiative produced a good, bad, or ambiguous outcome and the team must examine calibration, evidence, tradeoffs, second-order and cross-functional effects, responsibility, follow-through, feedback, and system response so judgment improves without rewarding recklessness or conditioning people to wait.
Output specification
Return a decision reconstruction, four-component review, calibration finding, downstream-effect map, process-versus-outcome assessment, lessons, feedback, system contributors, future rule, owners, and retest.
Owner Mindset Plan
Use this workflow when a person or team needs a progressive, evidence-based practice plan for acting under uncertainty, owning an outcome, improving judgment from consequences, and following through—especially after initiative was punished, authority was narrow, or competence must first grow in lower-stakes contexts.
Output specification
Return a development hypothesis, component focus, practice ladder, owned outcomes, decision records, feedback cadence, mentor role, risk gates, evidence of progress, scope-expansion criteria, and next review.
Keep consequential decisions explicit.
These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.
