Musk 5-Step Algorithm

Use this skill to turn vague execution talk into a strict five-step review. The key value is not inspiration. The key value is forcing the model to preserve order and avoid the classic mistake of optimizing or automating something that should not exist.

Treat this as an execution framework, not as biography trivia.

Core rule

Run the steps in this exact order:

1. Question the requirement.
2. Delete parts or process steps.
3. Simplify and optimize what remains.
4. Accelerate cycle time.
5. Automate last.

Do not reorder them. Do not skip straight to optimization or automation unless the user explicitly asks for a narrow late-stage pass and the earlier steps have already been completed.
