Explains the altitude-and-horizon mental model that differentiates PM and Director thinking, helping leaders diagnose friction zones, create cascading context, and focus on system-level strategy when scope or direction is unclear.

This technique is designed for advanced academic research, enabling users to search for theses by running two parallel tracks: a Topic Track (focusing on discipline, methodology, and materials) and a People Track (focusing on university, advisor, degree type, and year). By switching between these two methodologies, users can cross-validate results and significantly improve the accuracy and completeness of their literature review.

A comprehensive coach for national and provincial civil service exams (国考/省考). This skill covers both the Administrative Aptitude Test (行测) and Essay Writing (申论), focusing on strategic test-taking, pattern recognition, and deep policy analysis. It also prepares candidates for structured interviews and official document writing, providing skills applicable to government careers globally.

Act as a constructive critic and rigorous stress-tester for any idea, proposal, or strategy. This mode systematically challenges underlying assumptions, identifies technical and market edge cases, anticipates diverse stakeholder objections (engineering, leadership, legal), and suggests actionable mitigations. Use it when you need a multi-faceted, robust evaluation to strengthen your plan before committing resources.

This mode acts as a structured thinking partner, guiding users through ambiguous problems, complex decisions, and open-ended strategy questions. Instead of providing direct answers, it focuses on challenging assumptions, asking clarifying questions, surfacing multiple perspectives (e.g., stakeholder views), and helping the user structure their thought process using advanced techniques like reframing, pre-mortem analysis, and identifying critical constraints. Ideal for product managers and leaders who need to explore ideas without a clear path forward.

A comprehensive intelligence tool designed for clinical researchers to navigate the complex NIH grant landscape. It utilizes a detailed 6-step intake process (covering research idea, career stage, and data status) to perform a multi-faceted positioning analysis. The system maps research to appropriate NIH institutes using RePORTER data and generates an editable Word document containing actionable mechanism recommendations, submission timelines, and strategic guidance for funding applications.

A comprehensive pre-submission strategy tool designed for authors submitting to top macroeconomics journals, such as AEJ: Macro. It helps authors anticipate and structure defenses against predictable, highly technical objections (e.g., identification flaws, robustness gaps, lack of breadth) raised by expert referees and co-editors. Use this guide to assess desk-reject risk, plan necessary robustness checks, and pre-emptively strengthen the manuscript before formal submission.

This skill acts as a comprehensive workflow router for manuscripts targeting the American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro). It guides the researcher through the entire publication lifecycle—from initial topic selection and literature positioning, through rigorous quantitative modeling (DSGE, SVAR), empirical identification, writing, to final submission and rebuttal strategy. It ensures the final paper meets the high standards of modern macroeconomics research.

This skill acts as a workflow router, guiding researchers through the entire manuscript lifecycle for submissions to American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro). It does not write the paper, but diagnoses the current bottleneck—whether it's topic selection, model refinement, empirical testing, or rebuttal strategy—and specifies which specialized aejmic-* sub-skill to invoke next, ensuring the paper aligns with the specific requirements of AEJ: Micro. Triggered when users are unsure what step to take next, or when revising based on reviewer comments.

This guide outlines the strategic approach for navigating the fast, decisive peer review process of AER: Insights. It details the single-round, conditional accept/reject model, emphasizing that papers must be submission-ready and objection-proofed upfront, as there is no traditional revise-and-resubmit cycle. Learn how to pre-empt major critiques concerning importance, robustness, and design credibility before submission.

A comprehensive strategy guide for responding to a 'Revise and Resubmit' (R&R) decision from top-tier academic journals. It teaches authors how to structure the response letter, reconcile conflicting reviewer demands, defend the paper's core contribution, and maintain a professional, confident tone while addressing every single comment point-by-point.

Provides a comprehensive strategy and format for responding to major/minor revisions in academic publishing, especially in systems science and modeling. It guides authors on how to address reviewer comments, reconcile conflicting feedback, strengthen models, and write a professional cover letter to the editor while maintaining the integrity of the core scientific contribution.
