SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a disciplined, repeatable thinking loop for tackling non-trivial problems by guiding you through 10 attention stages from external observation to iterative growth, helping surface biases and structure reasoning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides a staged framework (OBSERVE external, OBSERVE internal, LISTEN, THINK, CONNECT, CONNECT, FEEL, ACCEPT, CREATE, GROW) to organize complex analysis and decision-making.
  • Supports use cases such as architectural decisions, post-mortems, audits, and ambiguous requests where rigorous thinking pays off.
  • Encourages artifacts like final recommendations or audit artifacts produced in the CREATE stage.

Quick Start

Invoke /think with your problem statement to walk through the 10 stages in order and produce a final recommendation.

Frequently Asked Questions about think

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I apply structured thinking to ambiguous architectural decisions?

Structured thinking for architectural decisions is applied via a 10-stage loop that guides you from external observation to iterative growth, logging biases and producing a final recommendation artifact.

What is a systematic thinking loop for complex problem-solving?

A systematic thinking loop is a 10-principle staged process covering OBSERVE, LISTEN, THINK, CONNECT, FEEL, ACCEPT, CREATE, and GROW to organize analysis, surface biases, and structure reasoning.

How do I conduct a post-mortem with bias logging and structured reasoning?

Conduct a post-mortem with bias logging by invoking the /think command with your problem statement, walking through the 10 attention stages in order, and generating a final audit artifact.

Can I use structured decision-making for non-trivial user requests?

Yes, structured decision-making for non-trivial user requests is supported by automating a rigorous reasoning process that handles ambiguity through staged observation, connection, and creation.

Does this structured thinking framework require external dependencies?

No external dependencies are required to run this structured thinking framework, as it operates as a standalone meta-skill accessible via the /think command.

When should I avoid using a 10-stage structured thinking loop?

Avoid using a 10-stage structured thinking loop for trivial problems where rigorous reasoning and bias logging are unnecessary, as the process is designed specifically for non-trivial analysis.
