Mental Models
Apply structured thinking frameworks to decisions, problems, and planning.
Safety Contract
This skill is instructional/read-only by default. Before saving a decision record or framework output, show the selected model, source context, destination path, and whether sensitive strategy or personal context is included. Require explicit user approval in the current turn before writing files. Running the scanner and applying a model in chat do not require approval.
Workflow
Step 1: Run Scanner
uv run beam-next-mental-models --format brief
Output shows slugs by category with path pattern:
# Path: 00-system/mental-models/models/{category}/{slug}.md
analytical: decision-matrix, swot-analysis, cost-benefit-analysis...
diagnostic: pre-mortem, five-whys, fishbone-diagram...
Step 2: Select & Load
Based on user's context, pick 1-2 models and load using the path pattern:
Read: 00-system/mental-models/models/diagnostic/pre-mortem.md
Step 3: Apply
Each model file contains purpose, questions, and process. Guide user through it.
Quick Reference
| Situation | Models | |-----------|--------| | Decisions | decision-matrix, inversion, cost-benefit-analysis | | Problems | first-principles, five-whys, fishbone-diagram | | Planning | pre-mortem, scenario-planning, stakeholder-mapping | | Risk | pre-mortem, inversion, margin-of-safety |
Rules
- Run scanner first - don't guess slugs
- Use path pattern -
models/{category}/{slug}.md - Let user pick - suggest, don't impose

beam-ai-team/use-case-proposal
tools
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Build a Palantir-shape, PDF-native use-case proposal document for a sophisticated enterprise account: research-grounded use cases (each with description, challenge, impact, value), an operating-graph ontology page, a recommended PoC with a week-by-week plan, and a closing page that asks for one decision. Load when a client asks us to 'propose high-impact use cases', requests a use-case presentation/catalog for a function (finance, HR, ops), or when a technical evaluation team will review candidates to pick a PoC. NOT for single-account cold outreach (use prospect-brief), full process diagnostics (use operating-diagnostic), or priced proposals (use proposal-creation).

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Convert Beam Figma slide designs into high-fidelity, editable HTML presentation decks. Use when Codex is asked to audit Figma slides, extract slide templates, rebuild Beam slides as HTML decks, decide whether Figma imagery should be exported or rebuilt in HTML/CSS, create Beam/Prism-compatible deck templates, or improve fidelity of existing Beam HTML slide rebuilds.

Use the Beam AI reusable slide library: individual HTML slide templates extracted from Beam Figma rebuilds, kept separate from deck themes and full deck templates. Load when the user asks for a slide library, specific Beam slide patterns, reusable Figma-inspired slides, Prism slide-library items, or slide-level HTML templates.
