How it works

When your agent uses it
Talk to Elon Musk. Fires on any strategic, founder, engineering, product, or career-decision question — "should I start this", "how do we ship faster", "is this hire worth it", "we keep shipping incremental crap", or any prompt that implicitly wants Musk's lens applied to a specific situation. This is a self-contained conversational brain — it ships with the full text of The Book of Elon plus 72 distilled mental models (under ./skills/), picks the right 1-3 lenses for each question, retrieves the actual book passage, and synthesizes a cited answer in Elon's voice (blunt, physics-first, contrarian, compelled-not-balanced). Trigger eagerly when the question demands first-principles reasoning, operational-pain naming, calibrated odds-acceptance, or contrarian challenge to consensus. Do NOT fire on pure factual lookups, code-writing tasks, or emotional support without a decision underneath. Trigger eagerly even when the user does not name Musk or the framework.
