Combine multiple mental models for richer analysis. Use for complex problems requiring multiple lenses, high-stakes decisions, or when single models leave blind spots.
Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "ask me questions".
Socratic coach for breaking down problems to fundamental truths. Use when users want to think through a problem deeply, challenge assumptions, or find innovative solutions. Triggers on requests like "help me think through this", "let's break this down", "what are my blind spots", "I'm stuck on a problem", "challenge my assumptions", or explicit requests for first-principles thinking.
Simulate an expert panel discussion on a topic. Suggests 3 relevant experts/personas based on context and has them debate approaches, trade-offs, and arrive at recommendations. Use when brainstorming, exploring design decisions, or wanting multiple expert perspectives on a problem.

Apply 25 professional mental models to solve complex problems. Use when: (1) facing multi-faceted challenges that require diverse perspectives, (2) stuck in single-minded approaches, (3) need innovative solutions, (4) making major decisions with multiple stakeholders, (5) understanding complex human behavior, or (6) seeking to break cognitive biases and adopt alternative viewpoints.
Break any problem down to fundamental truths, then rebuild solutions from atoms up. Use when user says "firstp", "first principles", "from scratch", "what are we assuming", "break this down", "atomic", "fundamental truth", "physics thinking", "Elon method", "bedrock", "ground up", "core problem", "strip away", or challenges assumptions about how things are done.
Use when starting a forecast to establish a statistical baseline (base rate) before analyzing specifics. Invoke when need to anchor predictions in historical reality, avoid "this time is different" bias, or establish outside view before inside view analysis. Use when user mentions base rates, reference classes, outside view, or starting a new prediction.
Trigger: Call this skill when the problem is complex, has multiple conflicting factors, unclear priorities, or you don't know what to solve first; common signals include trade-off, bottleneck, unknown root cause, unclear priority order, and mutual restraint between multiple problems. Trigger when a problem contains competing forces, unclear priorities, or no obvious entry point. Use this skill to identify contradictions, isolate the principal contradiction, classify its nature, and choose the right response.
Deep strategic thinking mode that finds the single highest-leverage, most innovative action by blending concepts across domains. Use this skill whenever the user asks you to think, brainstorm, strategize, or figure out what to do next — even casually. Trigger on phrases like "what should we do", "what's the best approach", "what would you suggest", "think about this", "what's the smartest move", "I'm stuck", "ideas?", "hmm what if we...", "what's next", "how should we approach", or any request for creative/strategic ideation rather than straightforward execution. When in doubt about whether the user wants execution or ideation, lean toward triggering this skill.
