    • Identify critical collisions between latent goals and hard resource limits.
    • Define the realistic operating envelope for high-stakes AI agent workflows.
    • Instant install

    Sample input

    We need to build a RAG-based search tool. It must be 100% accurate, use the cheapest LLMs to save costs, and have sub-second latency, but management also wants it to cite every single source.

    Sample output

    OBJECTIVE-CONSTRAINT COLLISION MAP

    • Collision: Accuracy vs. Cost (CRITICAL)
    • Tension: Cheap models lack the reasoning for 100% accuracy in complex RAG tasks.
    • Truth: You are implicitly choosing cost over reliability.

    VERDICT

    Impossible brief disguised as ambition.

    About This Skill

    What it does

    The Constraint Negotiator is a specialized framework for developers, architects, and product leads who are facing "impossible" briefs. It explicitly identifies the hidden tensions in complex systems—like the trade-off between latency and safety, or customization and maintainability—and forces a structured negotiation to find a feasible path forward.

    Problem it solves

    Most projects fail not due to a lack of talent, but because they are governed by incompatible demands (e.g., "fast, cheap, and secure"). This skill exposes the "negotiation debt" that teams accumulate when they pretend trade-offs don't exist, preventing the delivery of brittle, compromise-heavy solutions that satisfy no one.

    Output & Benefits

    The skill produces a detailed "Negotiation Status" report, including a Collision Map of conflicting objectives, a Dominant Constraint Diagnosis, and a Feasible Operating Envelope. Unlike simple preference matrices, it provides 2-4 viable paths with explicit sacrifices, ensuring you don't commit to something operationally unstable or mathematically impossible.

    Supported Environments

    Ideal for AI agent design, system architecture, product roadmapping, and multi-stakeholder governance. It bridges the gap between high-level ambition and operational reality.

    Use Cases

    • Identify critical collisions between latent goals and hard resource limits.
    • Define the realistic operating envelope for high-stakes AI agent workflows.
    • Expose the implicit trade-offs being made in a product roadmap.
    • Separate hard technical constraints from soft political preferences.
