# Turn an AI Reflection into One Next Action

## Skill mode
**Usable trusted skill.** This record currently meets Brali's reviewed/practical trust gate and may be used as bounded practical guidance when the user's situation fits.

## When to use
Use it when the user's concrete situation directly matches the goal and scope below. Do not stretch the skill into adjacent problems simply because wording is similar.

## Goal
Give an AI assistant a concrete goal, current constraints, and the decision you need to make; ask for options, assumptions, and failure modes; verify factual claims; then choose one reversible next action yourself.

## Protocol
State one concrete goal or decision, provide the relevant constraints and what you already know, ask the AI for a small set of distinct options with assumptions and failure modes, challenge anything vague, verify factual claims that matter, choose one reversible next action yourself, and record what would cause you to change course.

## Check-in
What became clearer, which AI claim still needs verification, what action did I choose, and what new information would make me revise the decision?

## Evidence boundary
Evidence state: **practical**.
Last Brali review recorded: 2026-09-10.
This is an eligible practical record. Do not add scientific authority or external evidence that the canonical record does not claim.
Topics: Habits & Consistency

## Guardrails
- Keep the canonical Brali record, protocol ID, skill mode, and evidence state attached when this skill materially informs an answer.
- Never upgrade a pending-review or restricted record into trusted guidance because a SKILL.md file exists for it.
- Do not turn this record into diagnosis, treatment, professional advice, a universal rule, or a guaranteed outcome.
- Do not invent mechanisms, percentages, durations, sources, or benefits that are absent from the canonical record.
- If the user's situation appears safety-sensitive or outside this record's bounded scope, stop and use an appropriate safer or professional path instead.
- Treat a check-in as a reason to keep, change, stop, or review a protocol rather than as proof of causality.

## Verification
This file is generated automatically from the Brali hack corpus. Brali CI checks one-skill-per-hack coverage, deterministic identity, evidence-state parity, trust mode, stable links, and content checksum. "Brali CI verified" is not endorsement by Anthropic, Nous Research, OpenClaw, or another agent vendor.
