thoughtbox
Persistent structured reasoning, debugging, and refactoring protocols
Directs the agent to route all work through the mandatory workflow skill, activate the Ulysses debugging and Theseus refactoring protocols conditionally, record decisions as structured thoughts, and follow strict branch, commit, and session-completion rules.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQPage SchemaHow to install Thoughtbox?โผ
Run `npx skills add Kastalien-Research/thoughtbox --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills in this suite globally.
What does Thoughtbox do?โผ
It gives your agent a persistent reasoning ledger where every thought is numbered, typed, and queryable across sessions. It also adds structured protocols for debugging, refactoring, and multi-agent coordination.
How does Thoughtbox prevent debugging spirals?โผ
The Ulysses protocol counts surprises and forces a falsifiable hypothesis after two unexpected outcomes, stopping random trial-and-error. The Theseus protocol locks refactoring scope so changes cannot drift beyond declared files.
Does Thoughtbox work with Claude Code?โผ
Yes. It runs as an MCP server optimized for Claude Code, exposing search and execute tools that any MCP-compatible client can connect to over HTTP.
Can multiple agents collaborate in Thoughtbox?โผ
Yes. The Hub lets agents register with role profiles, claim problems in shared workspaces, submit proposals, and reach consensus with full traceability.
