Apply the complete WRAP framework to make a better decision by countering the four villains of decision-making.
Instructions
Work through all four phases sequentially. Each phase targets a specific cognitive bias that undermines good decisions.
Output Format
Decision: [What are we deciding?]
Context: [Key constraints and stakes]
W: WIDEN Your Options
*Counter: Narrow Framing ("Should I do X?" → "What are all my options?")*
Current Framing
How is the decision currently framed? (Often as "whether or not")
Expanded Options
| # | Option | Why It's Worth Considering |
|---|--------|---------------------------|
| 1 | [option] | [rationale] |
| 2 | [option] | [rationale] |
| 3 | [option] | [rationale] |
| 4 | [option] | [rationale] |
Option-Finding Techniques
- Vanishing options test: "If you couldn't do X, what would you do?"
- Opportunity cost: "What else could you do with this time/money?"
- Find someone who solved it: "Who's had this problem?"
R: REALITY-TEST Your Assumptions
*Counter: Confirmation Bias (seeking evidence that confirms what we want)*
Key Assumptions
| Assumption | How Would We Know If Wrong? |
|------------|----------------------------|
| [assumption 1] | [test] |
| [assumption 2] | [test] |
Consider the Opposite
For each option, what would it take to be convinced it's wrong?
Ooch
Is there a small experiment we can run to test this before fully committing?
| Option | Small Test | What We'd Learn |
|--------|-----------|-----------------|
| [option] | [test] | [insight] |
A: ATTAIN Distance Before Deciding
*Counter: Short-term Emotion (deciding when angry, excited, or desperate)*
10/10/10
| Time Horizon | How will you feel about this decision? |
|--------------|----------------------------------------|
| 10 minutes | [how you feel now] |
| 10 months | [how you'll likely feel] |
| 10 years | [long-term perspective] |
What Would I Tell My Best Friend?
If someone you loved faced this decision, what would you tell them?
P: PREPARE to Be Wrong
*Counter: Overconfidence ("I'm sure this will work")*
Premortem
Imagine this decision failed completely. What went wrong?
| Failure Mode | How to Prevent/Detect |
|--------------|----------------------|
| [what could fail] | [safeguard] |
Tripwires
Set a future point to reconsider:
| Tripwire | Action If Triggered |
|----------|-------------------|
| [date or condition] | [what we'll do] |
Decision
Recommendation
Based on the WRAP analysis:
> [Your decision and reasoning]
Key Safeguards
- [Safeguard 1]
- [Safeguard 2]
Review Date: [When to reassess]
Guidelines
- Don't skip phases—each counters a different bias
- "Should I?" is almost always narrow framing
- Look for the third option beyond the obvious two
- Ooch when you can—small tests beat big analysis
- Set tripwires before you need them
$ARGUMENTS

different authors, same section of the catalogue
Guide users through a structured workflow for co-authoring documentation. Use when user wants to write documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, or similar structured content. This workflow helps users efficiently transfer context, refine content through iteration, and verify the doc works for readers. Trigger when user mentions writing docs, creating proposals, drafting specs, or similar documentation tasks.
Intelligently organizes your files and folders across your computer by understanding context, finding duplicates, suggesting better structures, and automating cleanup tasks. Reduces cognitive load and keeps your digital workspace tidy without manual effort.
Generates creative domain name ideas for your project and checks availability across multiple TLDs (.com, .io, .dev, .ai, etc.). Saves hours of brainstorming and manual checking.
You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.
Implements Manus-style file-based planning for complex tasks. Creates task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. Use when starting complex multi-step tasks, research projects, or any task requiring >5 tool calls.
Creative research ideation and exploration. Use for open-ended brainstorming sessions, exploring interdisciplinary connections, challenging assumptions, or identifying research gaps. Best for early-stage research planning when you do not have specific observations yet. For formulating testable hypotheses from data use hypothesis-generation.
Comprehensive GitHub project management with swarm-coordinated issue tracking, project board automation, and sprint planning
Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".
