Define time-horizoned assumptions about your industry (today / 6mo / 12mo) that ground strategic thinking. Use when the user is making roadmap, positioning or investment calls, or says 'what am I assuming about the market'. Also use proactively before a big strategic recommendation. Not for capturing a single decision; use `decision-log`.

## Purpose In rapidly changing industries (especially AI/tech), strategic decisions require grounding in **what you believe to be true** at different time horizons. This skill helps you define, document, and maintain those assumptions so every ideation session and strategic conversation carries that context. ## The Problem When everything's shifting fast, it's easy to: - Make bets that won't age well - Forget key assumptions when ideating - Build on quicksand instead of informed beliefs - Lose track of what you believed vs. what actually happened **The solution:** A structured file of industry truths across three time horizons (Today, 6 months, 12 months) that travels with your AI context. ## Usage - `/industry-truths` — Create or update your Industry Truths file - `/industry-truths review` — Review current truths and update based on new data - `/industry-truths validate` — Compare your truths against what actually happened --- ## Interview Flow This is an **interactive conversation**, not a form. The goal is to tease out deeply held beliefs through questions, not just capture bullet points. ### Opening Context Start by explaining the concept: > **Building on quicksand is expensive.** > > In fast-moving industries, strategic decisions need grounding in what you believe to be true at different time horizons.
