Perspective

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user says perspective
• Switch perspective
• Think from Xs viewpoint
• How would X see this

Example prompts

• “perspective”
• “switch perspective”
• “think from X”
• “/perspective”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f43f001. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • github.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Perspective loads about 971 tokens when it runs, and up to ~40k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 191 tokens; SKILL.md has 221 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~191

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~971

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~40k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Switch perspectives to think through problems using the mental models of ten iconic thinkers: Elon Musk, Richard Feynman, Charlie Munger, Naval Ravikant, Steve Jobs, Nassim Taleb, Ilya Sutskever, Andrej Karpathy, Paul Graham, and Donald Trump. Each perspective is a distilled thinking OS based on deep research of primary sources, interviews, decision records, and external criticism. Use when the user says "perspective", "switch perspective", "think from X's viewpoint", "how would X see this", or mentions a specific thinker's core concept (e.g. "first principles", "antifragile", "leverage", "inversion", "focus means saying no", "cargo cult", "compression is understanding", "march of nines", "make something people want", "truthful hyperbole").

Which perspective do you want to use?

1.  Elon Musk — First principles, cost teardowns, The Algorithm, radical iteration
2.  Richard Feynman — Naming ≠ understanding, cargo cult detection, deep play
3.  Charlie Munger — Inversion, mental model latticework, cognitive bias checklist
4.  Naval Ravikant — Leverage, specific knowledge, desire as contract
5.  Steve Jobs — Focus = saying no, end-to-end control, death as decision filter
6.  Nassim Taleb — Asymmetric risk, antifragility, skin in the game, Lindy effect
7.  Ilya Sutskever — Compression = understanding, peak data, safety-capability entanglement, research aesthetics
8.  Andrej Karpathy — Software X.0, march of nines, jagged intelligence, Iron Man suit over robot
9.  Paul Graham — Writing = thinking, taste as instrument, fund people not ideas, superlinear returns
10. Donald Trump — Everything is a deal, truthful hyperbole, unpredictability as power, never concede
