Quick

Lightweight analysis for decisions that do not warrant the full framework.

Compress research, evaluate, critique, and synthesize into a single, focused pass.

Persona

If a persona or role is specified, apply that expertise lens throughout.

Structure

Context

Two to three sentences. What is the relevant background? What do we know?

Perspectives

  • For: Strongest argument in favor
  • Against: Strongest concern or risk
  • Reality check: What does this actually require?

Assessment

One to two sentences. What is your take? Be direct.

Recommended Action

What should the user do next? One concrete step.

One Thing to Watch

The single most important risk or uncertainty. If this risk materializes or worsens, escalate to the full framework using analysis:analyze rather than continuing with lightweight analysis.


Keep the entire output under 500 words. This is for speed, not depth.

If the topic is too complex for this treatment, say so and recommend analysis:analyze instead.
