    Sample input

    I'm a senior full-stack developer, 8 years experience. Consulting at $200/hr for ~30 hrs/week. I have a half-built SaaS side project — a local dev environment manager for teams — that I've been building on weekends for 6 months. Audit my leverage using Naval's framework.

    Sample output

    NAVAL LEVERAGE AUDIT: Senior Dev / SaaS Pivot Decision

    Specific Knowledge: STRONG Full-stack + DevOps + intimate knowledge of local dev pain. The intersection of knowing the pain AND being able to build the fix is rare.

    Leverage Map: Current: Labor (consulting = selling hours) Best move: Code leverage (the SaaS IS the move — it runs without you) Permissionless opportunities: SaaS tool, technical writing on dev environment problems

    Time-for-Money Trap: TRAPPED 30 hrs/week × $200 = hard income ceiling. Stop working = income stops.

    Productize Yourself:

    1. Finish and launch the dev environment SaaS (already 6 months in — ship it)
    2. Write "local dev environments are broken" essay and share publicly
    3. Sell a $49 guide: "The Local Dev Stack I Use at Every Job"

    Long Game Score: 4/10 You're actively building the right asset (the SaaS) but funding it with trapped labor. Every consulting hour is now opportunity cost.

    One Highest-Leverage Move: Ship the SaaS. You have the specific knowledge, the code is half-done, and you're solving your own daily pain. Stop consulting hours that delay this.

    About This Skill

    What it does

    The Naval Leverage Audit is a strategic framework designed to help software engineers and startup founders transition from trading time for money to building permissionless wealth. It applies the core principles of Naval Ravikant—specific knowledge, leverage, accountability, and judgment—to your current career, codebase, or business model.

    Why use this skill

    Most developers are trapped in high-paying 'time-for-money' loops (salaries or hourly consulting). This skill acts as a ruthless business strategist that analyzes your situation to find where you are leaving leverage on the table. It identifies if your work is a depreciating asset or a compounding one, providing a clear roadmap to 'productize yourself.'

    Supported outcomes

    • Specific Knowledge Check: Identifies unteachable, obsession-driven skills that give you a competitive edge.
    • Leverage Mapping: Audits your use of Labor, Capital, Code, and Media to maximize scale.
    • Wealth Equation Analysis: Scores your current trajectory based on Naval's proprietary wealth framework.
    • Productization Roadmap: Generates three concrete product ideas derived from your existing expertise.

    Unlike a generic AI prompt, this skill is pre-configured with the specific constraints of the Navalmanack and 'How to Get Rich' philosophy. The output is a structured audit report that flags 'wealth blockers' and identifies your single highest-leverage move.
