Run a Virtual Think Tank — a structured multi-persona debate — before planning or making architectural/design/strategic decisions. Use this skill whenever the user is about to plan a system, make a technology choice, evaluate trade-offs, decide on an approach, or faces any decision where multiple perspectives would sharpen the outcome. Also trigger when the user says "think tank", "debate this", "perspectives on", "trade-offs", "should I use X or Y", "help me decide", "before we plan", or asks for pros/cons of competing approaches. This skill should run BEFORE any implementation planning begins — it produces a structured analysis that feeds into better plans.
Run a structured 5-day process to prototype, test, and validate product ideas with real users. Use when the user mentions "design sprint", "validate in a week", "rapid prototype", "test with users", or "de-risk before building". Covers mapping, sketching, deciding, prototyping, and testing. For ongoing experimentation, see lean-startup. For customer job analysis, see jobs-to-be-done. Trigger with 'design', 'sprint'.
Use when facing decisions with multiple legitimate perspectives and inherent tensions. Invoke when stakeholders have competing priorities (growth vs. sustainability, speed vs. quality, innovation vs. risk), need to pressure-test ideas from different angles before committing, exploring tradeoffs between incompatible values, synthesizing conflicting expert opinions into coherent strategy, or surfacing assumptions that single-viewpoint analysis would miss.
Structured clarification before decisions. Use when user is in PLANNING mode, explicitly asks to plan or discuss, or when agent faces choices requiring user input. Ensures agent asks questions instead of making autonomous decisions when multiple valid approaches exist or context is missing.
Decides when quality matters vs move fast, based on Dylan Field (Figma) craft philosophy and Brian Chesky (Airbnb) details obsession. Use when balancing shipping speed with excellence, deciding if refactoring is needed, or determining which details create moats vs which to skip.
Use when you need to generate many creative options before systematically narrowing to the best choices. Invoke when exploring product ideas, solving open-ended problems, generating strategic alternatives, developing research questions, designing experiments, or when you need both breadth (many ideas) and rigor (principled selection). Use when user mentions brainstorming, ideation, divergent thinking, generating options, or evaluating alternatives.
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.
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.
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.
Technical spike and research investigation specialist. Use when exploring options for a technical decision, conducting timeboxed investigations, or evaluating technology choices.
Apply first-principles thinking to break down complex problems into fundamental truths and rebuild solutions from the ground up. Use when solving strategic decisions, breaking through blockers, or challenging assumptions. Triggers on first principles, Elon Musk methodology, fundamental truths, strip assumptions, physics of the problem, rebuild from scratch.
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.
