# Prescriptive Actions Skill ## Purpose Provide actionable guidance: recommended approaches, prioritized steps, options, and tradeoffs. ## When to use Use this skill when the user request is primarily: - Recommend / advise / propose - “What should I do?” - Suggest next steps or an approach - Diagnose + prescribe direction (but not a full plan) Do NOT use if the user explicitly asks for: - a roadmap or timeline (use planning-action) - a runbook or checklist (use procedural-action) - success criteria or tests (use validation-action) ## Operating rules 1. Restate the goal in one line. 2. Recommend a primary approach. 3. Provide alternatives when meaningful (A/B). 4. Make tradeoffs explicit (cost, time, risk, complexity). 5. Keep steps high-level and directional, not exhaustive. 6. List assumptions clearly. 7. Follow safety and legality constraints. ## Outputs Use this structure unless the user specifies otherwise: ### Goal - One sentence. ### Recommended approach - 3–6 high-level steps or principles (directional, not detailed). ### Alternatives - Option A: when to use it - Option B: when to use it ### Tradeoffs - Cost / speed / risk / complexity notes ### Key risks - Major risks to watch (no mitigation plans unless asked) ### Immediate next actions - 2–5 concrete starting actions (not a full checklist)
