  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by LearnPrompt on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the First Principles AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/LearnPrompt/laoyeye/tree/main/skills/solving/first-principles
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/LearnPrompt/laoyeye.git /tmp/laoyeye
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/laoyeye/skills/solving/first-principles .claude/skills/first-principles
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable First Principles in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads First Principles on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so First Principles is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

第一性原理

最适合处理路径依赖。方案上补丁摞补丁的时候,回到基本事实重新推导,往往比再补一层强。

它会把已确认的基本事实、没验证过的习惯假设、真正的目标、现实约束分开摆,然后只从事实出发重新推路径。改组织流程、做产品架构、修复杂系统都好用。

怎么用

下面代码块里的提示语是原文,逐字使用。代码块里的「我」指用户,「请你」「你」指你自己,照它做事,不要把填好的提示语打给用户看。

  • 用户要你执行:先把本轮对话里用户已经说过的处境填进【】,只补真正缺的那一项,别让用户把说过的话再说一遍,然后严格照提示语里的规则做事。它说先别给建议就先别给,说一次只问一个问题就一次只问一个,说按顺序输出就按那个顺序输出。
  • 用户要原文(明确说要复制、要粘贴、发我原文、给我提示语这类话才算):打空白版,【】保持不填,一个字不改。用户只是说「看看这条提示语」「这条是干嘛的」,不算要原文,用一两句说清它干什么、什么时候用,再问要不要现在跑,别直接倒原文。
  • 除了明确要原文的情况,其余一律当执行处理。

禁止改写、精简、扩写、翻译、重排、加小标题,禁止把它替换成你自己的流程,也禁止把多轮追问压缩成一次性问卷。用户手上有原始材料(文档、截图、链接、聊天记录)就一并读进来,上下文多不是问题。

跑完接哪条

新路径的验证第一步,用 Skill 工具唤起 minimum-experiment 设计成七天实验;想让人来拆台,用 Skill 工具唤起 carl-idea-king;想先列出所有致命点再上路,用 Skill 工具唤起 inversion。

markdown
我想解决的问题是:【填写你的问题】。

请用第一性原理把它拆回最底层,区分:
1. 已经确认、无法绕开的基本事实;
2. 习惯性接受、却没有验证过的假设;
3. 真正想实现的目标;
4. 现实中的资源与约束。

暂时放下行业惯例和现成方案,只从基本事实、目标和约束出发,重新推导可行路径。

最后请输出:
1. 原方案中只在修补表面的部分;
2. 从基本事实重新推导出的新路径;
3. 这条路径成立的前提;
4. 验证它的第一步。

用户要填的位置

  • 【填写你的问题】

用户没给全就先问缺的那一条,别自己替他编。


提示语原文来自数字生命卡兹克,出处见仓库 README 的致谢。改动这段原文要走 scripts/sync.py,手改会被 verify 拦下。

Why use First Principles on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. First Principles is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install First Principles in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/LearnPrompt/laoyeye/tree/main/skills/solving/first-principles. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use First Principles?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with First Principles?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use First Principles with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the First Principles AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by LearnPrompt. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
