SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you work through non-trivial, ambiguous problems without skipping critical stages like bias-checking, active listening, and humility—so your final decision is more accurate and actionable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 10-principle thinking loop across external observation, internal metacognition, active listening, first-principles analysis, lateral connections, system orchestration, intuition/FEEL, and iterative GROW.
  • Stage-gated workflow that prevents “confident wrong answers” by enforcing OBSERVE-internal, ACCEPT (anti-sycophancy), and GROW feedback.
  • Decision-oriented outputs for audits, architectural choices, post-mortems, and ambiguous user requests where you must produce a recommendation or artifact.

Quick Start

Use the think skill to audit your current plan by running the 10 principles on: what you are observing, what biases you might have, what the user is really asking, and the smallest shippable recommendation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct a structured architecture review for an ambiguous system design?

A structured architecture review applies a stage-gated thinking loop—spanning observation, metacognition, and acceptance—to systematically evaluate ambiguous designs and produce calibrated, evidence-based recommendations.

What is the best way to run a post-mortem that avoids bias and confident wrong answers?

A disciplined post-mortem requires enforcing an anti-sycophancy acceptance stage and a growth feedback loop, preventing skipped bias checks to ensure iterative learning and accurate decision auditing.

How does metacognition improve tradeoff analysis for complex agent orchestration?

Metacognition improves tradeoff analysis by requiring an internal observation stage that checks biases before connecting lateral concepts, ensuring agent orchestration decisions are grounded in first-principles thinking.

Can I use systematic thinking frameworks for non-trivial software engineering decisions?

Yes, systematic thinking frameworks apply to non-trivial software engineering decisions by enforcing a 10-principle workflow that moves from external observation to actionable creation, preventing incomplete reasoning.

When should I not use a structured reasoning loop for architectural audits?

Avoid using a structured reasoning loop for trivial, straightforward tasks where evidence is abundant and ambiguity is low, as the stage-gated workflow adds unnecessary overhead to simple architectural audits.
