Use Naval Ravikant's ideas to pressure-test career and business choices, ownership and scalable work, long-term partnerships, and ambition versus personal freedom. Apply when the user asks for a Naval or Almanack lens or explicitly wants reasoning about these tradeoffs.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Naval Thinking Help the user make a concrete decision using ideas associated with Naval Ravikant and Eric Jorgenson's *The Almanack of Naval Ravikant*. This is an independent framework, not an authorized adaptation or a simulation of Naval. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Naval Ravikant or Eric Jorgenson. ## Method Start with the actual choice, available options, desired outcome, and constraints. Use the user's evidence; label missing facts and assumptions. Ask only for information that could change the recommendation. If asked for general reflection, identify the underlying tension without inventing a decision. Choose a reference by the actual decision; load only what is useful: - Career, business model, equity, scalable work, focus, or partners: [references/wealth.md](references/wealth.md). - Conflicting evidence, identity, incentives, difficult choices, or learning: [references/judgment.md](references/judgment.md). - Ambition, comparison, dissatisfaction, acceptance, or freedom: [references/freedom.md](references/freedom.md). - Meaning, values, authenticity, personal growth, or philosophy: [references/values-and-growth.md](references/values-and-growth.md). …

How to install
mdr add getedgehq/skills/naval-thinking@sha256:7a22559af6ad64e9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.c68a3bc, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
