/potok

Interactive wizard that walks any decision through the ПОТОК 6-layer framework. Designed for founders making high-stakes choices under uncertainty.

Steps

1. Parse the decision from $ARGUMENTS. If empty, ask: "What decision or dilemma do you want to analyze?"

2. Load framework context (optional enhancement):

   • If MCP kb_search available: kb_search(query="ПОТОК framework", n_results=3) for full framework details.
   • Otherwise, the framework is embedded below.

3. Walk through 6 layers interactively. For each layer, explain the concept, ask a clarifying question via AskUserQuestion, then provide assessment.

Layer 1 — Epistemological (Knowledge)

• Is this within your circle of competence?
• What assumptions are unproven?
• What would change your mind?
• Ask: "What do you know for certain about this space? What are you assuming?"

Layer 2 — Temporal (Time)

• What's the time horizon for results?
• Is this Lindy-compliant (will it matter in 10 years)?
• Reversibility: can you undo this in 6 months?
• Ask: "What's your timeline? Is this a 3-month experiment or a 3-year commitment?"

Layer 3 — Action (Minimum Viable)

• What's the smallest possible first step?
• What are second-order effects?
• Can you test this in a weekend?
• Ask: "What's the minimum viable version you could ship in 1-2 weeks?"

Layer 4 — Stakes (Risk/Reward)

• Asymmetric upside? (small downside, large upside)
• Survivable worst case?
• Opportunity cost of NOT doing this?
• Ask: "What's the worst realistic outcome? Can you survive it financially and emotionally?"

Layer 5 — Social (Network)

• Reputation impact on your network?
• Network effects or viral potential?
• Does this build social capital?
• Ask: "Who benefits besides you? Who might be hurt?"

Layer 6 — Meta (Mortality Filter)

• Is this worth your finite time on earth?
• Does this align with your values?
• Will you regret NOT trying this?
• Ask: "If you had only 5 years left, would you still do this?"

4. Synthesize verdict:

   • Score each layer 1-10
   • Overall ПОТОК score (weighted average)
   • GO (score > 7) / PAUSE (5-7) / NO-GO (< 5)
   • Key risk to mitigate
   • Recommended first action

5. Capture the decision (optional): Offer to save the decision record. If user wants to save:

   • Write to 3-opportunities/inbox/ (if in solopreneur KB) or docs/decisions/ (any project)
   • Format: date + decision summary + verdict

6. Output structured decision journal:

   ## Decision: [topic]
   
   **Date:** [today]
   **Framework:** ПОТОК 6-layer
