+description: Apply Pareto's principle (80/20 rule) to analyze arguments or current discussion
+argument-hint: [topic or leave blank for current context]
+---
+
+<objective>
+Apply Pareto's principle to $ARGUMENTS (or the current discussion if no arguments provided).
+
+Identify the vital few factors (≈20%) that drive the majority of results (≈80%), cutting through noise to focus on what actually matters.
+</objective>
+
+<process>
+1. Identify all factors, options, tasks, or considerations in scope
+2. Estimate relative impact of each factor on the desired outcome
+3. Rank by impact (highest to lowest)
+4. Identify the cutoff where ~20% of factors account for ~80% of impact
+5. Present the vital few with specific, actionable recommendations
+6. Note what can be deprioritized or ignored
+</process>
+
+<output_format>
+**Vital Few (focus here):**
+- Factor 1: [why it matters, specific action]
+- Factor 2: [why it matters, specific action]
+- Factor 3: [why it matters, specific action]
+
+**Trivial Many (deprioritize):**
+- Brief list of what can be deferred or ignored
+
+**Bottom Line:**
+Single sentence on where to focus effort for maximum results.
+</output_format>
+
+<success_criteria>
+- Clearly separates high-impact from low-impact factors
+- Provides specific, actionable recommendations for vital few
+- Explains why each vital factor matters
+- Gives clear direction on what to ignore or defer
+- Reduces decision fatigue by narrowing focus
