What does this agent skill do?
Thinking Skill
Available Frameworks
First Principles
Decompose problem to fundamental truths, then rebuild from ground up.
- Identify assumptions
- Break down to irreducible elements
- Rebuild solution from fundamentals
Council (Multi-perspective Debate)
3-round debate with 3-5 distinct perspectives:
- Round 1: Each perspective states position
- Round 2: Challenge and counter-argue
- Round 3: Synthesize and find consensus
Red Team
Adversarial analysis:
- Identify the plan/system to attack
- Generate 5-10 attack vectors
- Rate severity and likelihood
- Propose mitigations
Iterative Depth
Explore topic from 2-8 angles, each adding depth:
- Surface understanding
- Mechanism understanding
- Edge cases and failures
- Systemic implications
Science Method
- Observe the phenomenon
- Form hypothesis
- Design experiment
- Execute and measure
- Analyze results
- Iterate
World/Threat Model
Analyze threats, opportunities, and second-order effects across multiple time horizons.
Usage
Specify which framework to use, or describe the problem and the appropriate framework will be selected.
