Narrow Domain Analysis
Input: $ARGUMENTS
Step 1: Identify the Domain
State the specific domain under analysis. Be precise — narrow beats broad.
DOMAIN: [The specific domain]
DOMAIN LEVEL: [Field > Subfield > Specialty, as specific as possible]
If the input spans multiple domains, pick the primary one. Flag secondary domains for later.
Step 2: Establish Domain Boundaries
Define what is inside and outside this analysis.
IN SCOPE:
- [What belongs to this domain]
- [What this analysis will cover]
OUT OF SCOPE:
- [Adjacent domains explicitly excluded]
- [Tangential topics to ignore]
BOUNDARY RATIONALE: [Why these boundaries make sense]
Step 3: Go Deep
Analyze the input using domain-specific depth. This is the core of the skill — resist the urge to go wide.
DOMAIN-SPECIFIC VOCABULARY:
- [Key term 1]: [precise domain meaning]
- [Key term 2]: [precise domain meaning]
APPLICABLE FRAMEWORKS:
- [Framework 1]: [how it applies here]
- [Framework 2]: [how it applies here]
DEEP ANALYSIS:
[The actual analysis, using domain language and frameworks.
This should read like it was written by a domain expert,
not a generalist.]
Step 4: Domain-Specific Constraints
Identify constraints that only someone in this domain would know about.
DOMAIN CONSTRAINTS:
- [Constraint 1]: [why it matters here]
- [Constraint 2]: [why it matters here]
CONVENTIONS:
- [Convention 1]: [standard practice in this domain]
- [Convention 2]: [standard practice in this domain]
VIOLATIONS: [Does the input violate any domain conventions? If so, flag them.]
Step 5: Domain-Appropriate Output
Format the final output the way a domain practitioner would expect to see it.
FINDINGS:
[Structured output using the format conventions of the domain.
E.g., a legal analysis uses IRAC, a medical analysis uses SOAP,
an engineering analysis uses requirements/specs format.]
DOMAIN CONFIDENCE: [How confident is this analysis given domain norms?]
RECOMMENDED NEXT STEP: [What a domain expert would do next]
