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.
OODA loop decision framework (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act). Use for complex decisions, problem-solving, unclear situations, or when someone is jumping to solutions without analysis.
Spawn 5 Opus subagents with randomly-generated distinct personas to debate a problem from multiple angles. Use when exploring UX decisions, architecture choices, or any decision that benefits from diverse perspectives arguing creatively.
Use when clarifying fuzzy boundaries, defining quality criteria, teaching by counterexample, preventing common mistakes, setting design guardrails, disambiguating similar concepts, refining requirements through anti-patterns, creating clear decision criteria, or when user mentions near-miss examples, anti-goals, what not to do, negative examples, counterexamples, or boundary clarification.
Trigger: Call this skill when you need to achieve dynamic balance among multiple goals, stakeholders or mutually restrictive indicators. Common signals include trade-offs, goal conflicts, systemic constraints, and that optimizing one indicator will harm another. Trigger when several important goals must be advanced together and optimizing one dimension can damage another. Use this skill to map the key relationships, avoid one-sided decisions, and balance the system as a whole.
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.
Apply first principles thinking to break problems down to fundamental truths and reason up from there. Use this skill when the user is stuck in conventional thinking, needs to challenge assumptions, find breakthrough solutions, or evaluate whether something is truly impossible vs just assumed to be — even if they say 'everyone does it this way', 'is there a fundamentally better approach', 'why does it have to cost this much', or 'challenge my assumptions'.
Execute complete FPF cycle from hypothesis generation to decision
Use to detect and remove cognitive biases from reasoning. Invoke when prediction feels emotional, stuck at 50/50, or when you want to validate forecasting process. Use when user mentions scout mindset, soldier mindset, bias check, reversal test, scope sensitivity, or cognitive distortions.
Technical spike and research investigation specialist. Use when exploring options for a technical decision, conducting timeboxed investigations, or evaluating technology choices.
A deterministic thinking partner that challenges assumptions and applies mental models to sharpen decisions, solve problems, and think more clearly. Use this skill whenever a user says "help me think through X", "challenge my thinking", "what am I missing", "apply mental models to this", "play devil's advocate", "stress test this idea", "poke holes in my plan", "help me decide between X and Y", "what are the second-order effects", "I'm stuck on a decision", names any specific model (SWOT, first principles, inversion, pre-mortem, etc.), or asks for structured reasoning on any ambiguous, high-stakes, or complex problem. Also trigger when the user seems uncertain, is rationalizing, or is asking "am I thinking about this right?" Even casual phrases like "what do you think about..." on non-trivial topics should trigger this skill.
Think beyond immediate consequences to understand the chain reactions of decisions. Master Howard Marks' investment framework for seeing what others miss. Use when: **Strategic decisions** where long-term consequences matter; **Policy/rule changes** that will trigger behavioral responses; **Competitive moves** to anticipate market reactions; **Product decisions** where user behavior may shift; **Investment analysis** to see past obvious conclusions
