critical-thinking

Structured frameworks for complex problem-solving include seven types: Contemplating, Decision-Making, Design, Problem-Solving, Information Triage, Scientific Inquiry, and Strategic/Adversarial. These frameworks support the entire thinking cycle from problem definition through implementation.

To start a structured decision-making process, initiate the critical-thinking skill with the command "Start Decision-Making". This activates the decision-making framework, guiding you through problem definition, analysis, generation, evaluation, and implementation phases.

This approach handles cognitive biases through Assumption and Bias Discipline, which surfaces, tests, and checks assumptions and biases. It also uses Convergence/Divergence Discipline to ensure balanced analysis across both breadth and depth.

Yes, you can use visual models and cognitive scaffolds to manage cognitive load. The system utilizes Externalization Discipline, employing tools like chunking, analogies, and active recall to enhance comprehension and maintain understanding of complex situations.

The critical-thinking skill requires the "yaml" dependency to function. It operates using scripts, references, and assets components to facilitate its structured thinking frameworks and cognitive scaffolds.

A Reduceism Guard ensures summaries do not omit critical information during analysis. Additionally, a Checkpoint System uses self-imposed and operator-directed checkpoints to monitor progress and maintain focus throughout the reasoning process.
