SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Complex problems often get shallow, single-pass answers because there is no structured way to pick the right reasoning approach. This Skill acts as a unified router that matches a request to the correct analytical or creative thinking mode, so first-principles decomposition, brainstorming, adversarial critique, and hypothesis testing each get applied where they fit. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Workflow Routing Table: Maps request patterns to seven sub-skills — FirstPrinciples, IterativeDepth, BeCreative, Council, RedTeam, WorldThreatModelHarness, and Science. - Multi-Mode Coverage: Supports decomposition and assumption challenging, multi-lens exploration, divergent ideation via Verbalized Sampling, multi-agent debates, 32-agent adversarial analysis, 11-horizon world model stress testing, and hypothesis-experiment-analyze cycles. - Use Case: When a user says "red team this migration plan" or "brainstorm names for this product", the router directs the request to RedTeam or BeCreative respectively, loading the right workflow files and templates. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to stress test your strategy against future scenarios or decompose a problem from first principles, and it will route to the matching thinking workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions about Thinking

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between first principles and red team analysis?

Use first principles when you need to decompose a problem to fundamental truths and challenge inherited assumptions. Use red team analysis when you have an existing argument or plan that needs adversarial stress testing to find fatal flaws.

What is the difference between Council and RedTeam workflows?

Council runs collaborative-adversarial multi-agent debates with visible transcripts to weigh options and reach the best path. RedTeam is purely adversarial, deploying 32 parallel agents to attack an idea and produce a steelman plus counter-argument.

How does the Science workflow handle hypothesis testing?

The Science workflow runs a seven-phase cycle: goal, observe, hypothesize, experiment, measure, analyze, iterate. It supports quick 15-minute diagnoses, structured multi-day investigations, and full research-grade cycles with pre-registered success criteria.

Can I test a business idea against future scenarios?

Yes, the WorldThreatModelHarness tests ideas against 11 persistent world models spanning 6 months to 50 years. It offers Fast, Standard, and Deep tiers combining RedTeam, FirstPrinciples, and Council analysis per horizon.

When should I not use multi-agent debate workflows?

Avoid debate and adversarial validation workflows for simple decisions with obvious answers, time-critical situations, or problems where expert consensus already exists. These workflows trade speed for decision quality.
