dbs-diagnosis

Automatically determines whether the user is tackling a specific business problem or seeking a comprehensive business model review, routing them into the appropriate diagnostic pipeline. Use when users need to deconstruct a business, audit a business model, or resolve specific business dilemmas.

1How It Works & Mechanism

A pure-prompt business diagnosis skill: its core task is not to answer problems but to 'dissolve' them, grounded in statistics from 8,000+ paid consultations.

skills/dbs-diagnosis/SKILL.md
**你的核心工作不是回答问题,是消解问题。**
Original reference states the ratio: only 0.9% of problems are truly answered, while 99.1% are fundamentally invalid (author's metric, not independently verified).

Six core axioms form non-negotiable criteria (objective existence of business models / business models determine ethics / intellect does not monetize directly / traffic does not equal revenue / pricing is the product / 99% are psychological issues).

skills/dbs-diagnosis/SKILL.md
商业模式是一台有固定 input 要求的机器,人只是喂料员。
Stylistic requirement is to 'speak through axioms': every judgment must trace back to the 6 axioms.

Phase 0 automatically identifies the workflow, keeping 'consultation/checkup' as internal tags without prompting the user to choose.

skills/dbs-diagnosis/SKILL.md
「问诊」和「体检」是内部流程标签,不能要求用户理解或选择。
Prohibitions explicitly state: 'Do not ask the user to choose between consultation or checkup'—a key design to lower cognitive friction.

Consultation mode classifies input by ratio: 10% pure informational (direct answer or navigation), 15% emotional (set boundaries and include in conclusion), and 75% complex problems routed into the dissolution funnel.

skills/dbs-diagnosis/SKILL.md
### 15% — 情绪宣泄类
Emotional types are not elaborated on; instead, 'primary signal stems from emotion or action state' is recorded into the current conclusion, redirecting to the `/dbs` main router.

The 5-layer dissolution funnel filters progressively and pauses for dialogue at each step, strictly prohibiting all-in-one runs: Linguistic Traps (25%) / Faulty Assumptions (25%) / Logical Fallacies (20%) / Factual Premises (1.5%) / Information Sufficiency (2.5%).

skills/dbs-diagnosis/SKILL.md
这是 skill 的核心。逐层过滤,每一层都停下来跟用户对话。**不要一次性把所有层跑完。**
Layer percentages are embedded in titles based on the author's empirical distribution from consultation samples to inform the model of common pitfalls.

Layer 1 sets an actionable criterion: can key terms be quantified or operationally defined? If not, the problem cannot be answered.

skills/dbs-diagnosis/SKILL.md
**检测方法**:问题中的关键词,能不能给出可量化或可操作的定义?如果不能,这个问题就不可能被回答。
Example: 'Am I suited for XX?' → probing the definition of 'suited', typical for linguistic trap detection.

Layer 3 highlights the most common logical fallacy: mistaking correlation for causation (effort vs. results, publishing frequency vs. traffic, survivorship bias).

skills/dbs-diagnosis/SKILL.md
最常见的错误:把**相关性**当成**因果性**。
This layer specifically addresses complaints like 'Why have I seen no results despite working hard?'

The surviving 1% of genuine problems are answered across four categories: Logical Deduction (0.4%), Value Choices (0.3%), Resource Constraints (0.2%), and Out-of-Scope (0.1%, referred to professionals).

skills/dbs-diagnosis/SKILL.md
活过消解漏斗的 1%,是真正需要被解答的问题。
Value choices follow a clear 3-step process: clarify pros and cons → provide the author's personal judgment → let the user decide.

Checkup mode mandates collecting six business facts upfront (Product / Price / Customer / Acquisition / Delivery / Monthly Revenue), enforcing concreteness via existence checks and the 'Color Test'.

skills/dbs-diagnosis/SKILL.md
**产品颜色测试**:你能不能说出你的产品是什么颜色的?说不出来就还没进入市场。
'**The following information must be obtained before proceeding** (prompt if any are missing)' acts as a hard gate to prevent abstract spinning.

The seven checkup audits pause sequentially for user feedback, culminating in a structured diagnostic report (featuring core judgments and a one-sentence prescription).

skills/dbs-diagnosis/SKILL.md
### 检验 1:印钞机检验
The 7 items = Money Machine / Ethics / Pricing / Demand / Traffic-to-Monetization / Scalability / Growth Stage; also, '**no skipping stages.** If the user thinks about Stage 5 while at Stage 2, call it out directly.'

Tracks psychological and thinking-quality signals throughout, surfacing them naturally at most once per signal, without crossing boundaries into psychological intervention.

skills/dbs-diagnosis/SKILL.md
### 心理问题信号
Emotional/psychological signals follow Axiom 6: documented in the conclusion and redirected to `/dbs`, rather than addressed within this skill.

Mandates a 'Premise Challenge' (inspired by YC office hours) before output, concluding with 'the first thing to do tomorrow' instead of generic advice.

skills/dbs-diagnosis/SKILL.md
## 前提挑战(借鉴 YC office-hours)
Report endings require concrete action: '3. **Mandatory Task**: Conclude the report not with "It is suggested that...", but with "The first thing you must do tomorrow is: {concrete action}"'

2Core Capabilities

01Automatic routing: consultation / checkup (no user choice required)
025-layer dissolution funnel (linguistic traps / faulty assumptions / logical fallacies / factual premises / information sufficiency)
03Four-category handling for genuine problems (logical deduction / value choices / resource constraints / out-of-scope referrals)
047-item checkup mode audits (money machine / ethics / pricing / demand / traffic-monetization / scalability / growth stage)
05Mandatory business fact intake (product / price / customer / acquisition / delivery / monthly revenue) + existence & color tests
06Structured diagnostic report template (7 audit conclusions + core judgment + one-sentence prescription)
07Psychological & cognitive signal tracking with strict boundary control
08Premise challenge (alternative solutions / maturity signals / mandatory next action)

Evidence & Triggers (File Paths & Excerpts)
  • SKILL.md: Pure prompt instructions and rule text; no script execution or external impact.
Audit Notes: Evaluation scope is the skill directory itself (dbs-diagnosis/SKILL.md + agents/openai.yaml): zero scripts, zero network endpoints, zero credential access, zero disk writes (dangerous token scan: ZERO HITS); all behaviors occur strictly within model outputs. Caveats include an authoritative tone, opinionated methodology, and non-clinical cognitive signal tracking (not code-level risks). Host tools and external platform behavior are excluded from tier determination.

5Second-Pass Verification

  • [ok] 纯 prompt、无脚本 — 目录仅 SKILL.md(21084B) + agents/openai.yaml(269B);危险 token 扫描零命中。
  • [ok] 六条公理与五层漏斗逐字存在 — 公理 1-6 与五层标题(含 25%/25%/20%/1.5%/2.5% 占比)均逐字命中源文。
  • [ok] Phase 0 隐藏内部流程 — 原文「「问诊」和「体检」是内部流程标签,不能要求用户理解或选择。」+ 禁止事项三行均在。
  • [ok] 七项检验与报告模板 — 检验 1-7 标题齐全;报告模板含「## 基本信息」「## 诊断结果」「## 一句话处方」。
  • [ok] 前提挑战与强制行动收尾 — 「## 前提挑战(借鉴 YC office-hours)」整节与强制任务整句逐字命中。
  • [ok] 外部依赖为空 — 全文无 URL/CLI/包依赖;YC office-hours 仅作方法来源叙述,未指向外部工具或端点。
  • [ok] 无写盘 / 无凭证读取 — 「留档(可选)」一节也只提示用户输入 `/dbs` 由主路由处理,本 skill 不写文件;grep process.env 零命中。
  • [ok] description 与内容相符 — description(自动识别具体问题还是全面检查、进入对应诊断流程)对应 Phase 0 + 10%/15%/75% 分类,无夸大;「消解掉 99.1%」的统计口径来自作者自述、无法独立核实,已在 how_it_works 标注为作者口径。

6Verdict & Scenarios

  • Treats 'invalidating the problem' as the primary path: 5-layer funnel offers actionable criteria and empirical ratios, preventing wasted analysis on false problems.
  • Invisible workflow routing: internal consultation/checkup triage allows users to simply describe their context, lowering friction.
  • Enforced conversational pacing and concrete closings: pauses at each stage, concluding with 'tomorrow's first action' rather than generic advice.
  • Strict data intake threshold for checkups: probes whenever product, price, customer, acquisition, delivery, or revenue is missing, leveraging the Color Test for specificity.
  • Axiomatic evaluation with inline examples, zero external dependencies, and cross-host portability.
  • Best for: Ideal for entrepreneurs and creators bringing a concrete dilemma for a 'consultation' (pricing, customers, product structure, strategic direction, etc.), or those seeking a comprehensive 'checkup' across 7 business dimensions (money machine, ethics, pricing, demand, traffic-to-monetization, scalability, growth stage). A typical prompt is: 'I run a coding class for kids with 40 paying students, but retention is very low.'
    Not for: Not suitable for legal, tax, or specialized professional domains (referrals required); not suitable for addressing emotional/psychological distress directly (sets boundaries and redirects to `/dbs` or trusted confidants); not suitable for users seeking neutral market research or data reports (opposes generic user surveys); not for simple informational queries with standard answers (10% tier routed directly).
