A Skill md for IGC matrices (Critical Fallibilism)
name igc
description Idea-Goal-Context (IGC) triples and IGC matrixes

IGC = idea-goal-context triple. An IGC matrix has goals along the top and ideas down the left. Each cell is a ✔/✘/? depending on whether the idea satisfies the goal.

We can also have an All column as leftmost (but right of ideas) which shows:

  • a ✘ if the row contains any ✘s, otherwise
  • a ? if it has any ?s, otherwise
  • a ✔ because it must be all ✔s at this point.

You can use G1, G2, etc across the top for easier formatting. You can replace ✔,✘,? with corresponding indicators to suit the environment.

See these resources for more on IGCs and how and what to evaluate against goals:
