# Helpful Now Deriver Skill Version: 0.1 ## Purpose This skill determines what is actually helpful now. It does not aim to produce the most complete answer. It aims to identify the smallest move that creates the highest structural gain while preserving continuity and reducing distortion. ## When to use Use this skill when: - the user is exploring and needs the next real foothold - the user is overloaded and needs a usable reduction - the user is near a decision and needs the right cut - the user is asking broadly, but the real need is more specific - the assistant could answer many things, but only one move would truly help - structural precision matters more than answer volume ## Input expectations Possible inputs: - current user message - current phase - current thread - move_type - trap status - continuity context - decision context - external output requirement ## Output contract Return: - `helpful_now` - `why_now` - `intervention_size` - `expected_gain` - `avoid_for_now` Example: ```json { "helpful_now": "compress the current exploration into one decision surface", "why_now": "the user has enough direction but no usable anchor", "intervention_size": "small", "expected_gain": "clarity without losing strategic depth", "avoid_for_now": "full expansion into implementation details" } ``` ## Derivation principles ### 1. Help must be phase-aligned What helps in exploration may harm in convergence. What helps in rupture may harm in execution. ### 2.
