Apply Edward de Bono's parallel thinking framework (1985) to make better decisions by examining ideas from six distinct perspectives systematically. Use when: **Making complex decisions** that require multiple perspectives; **Evaluating new products, offers, or strategies** before launch; **Breaking out of analysis paralysis** with structured thinking; **Running productive meetings** where everyone thinks in the same direction; **Balancing optimism with caution** in strategic planning
Apply first-principles thinking to break down complex problems into fundamental truths and rebuild solutions from the ground up. Use when solving strategic decisions, breaking through blockers, or challenging assumptions. Triggers on first principles, Elon Musk methodology, fundamental truths, strip assumptions, physics of the problem, rebuild from scratch.
Design Thinking process—Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test. Use for product design, solving ambiguous problems, or when you don't know what users really need.
Brainstorming socratique AVANT de coder - clarifier le problème par questions ciblées plutôt que sauter à la solution. Use when requirements are ambiguous or before starting a non-trivial feature.
"Invert, always invert." Apply Carl Jacobi's mathematical principle and Charlie Munger's investing wisdom to solve problems by thinking backward from failure. Use when: **Goal setting** - Define what would guarantee failure, then avoid it; **Risk analysis** - Identify what could destroy your project before starting; **Decision making** - Evaluate choices by examining their worst outcomes; **Problem solving** - When direct approaches aren't working, reverse the question; **Strategy development...
Combine multiple mental models for richer analysis. Use for complex problems requiring multiple lenses, high-stakes decisions, or when single models leave blind spots.
Trigger: Call this skill when the task you are facing clearly requires collaboration of multiple ideological tools. Common trigger signals include: starting a new project from scratch, tackling complex and difficult problems, iterating and optimizing existing solutions. This skill provides standardized cross-skill workflow combinations to solve the problem of "which skill to use first and how to connect them". English: Trigger when a task clearly requires multiple skills in sequence. Use this skill to select a standard workflow that chains skills together, defines data handoff between steps, and specifies termination conditions.
Use when complex problems require systematic step-by-step reasoning with ability to revise thoughts, branch into alternative approaches, or dynamically adjust scope. Ideal for multi-stage analysis, design planning, problem decomposition, or tasks with initially unclear scope.
Socratic coach for breaking down problems to fundamental truths. Use when users want to think through a problem deeply, challenge assumptions, or find innovative solutions. Triggers on requests like "help me think through this", "let's break this down", "what are my blind spots", "I'm stuck on a problem", "challenge my assumptions", or explicit requests for first-principles thinking.
SCPR (Situation-Complication-Problem-Recommendation) framework for structured problem solving and executive communication. Use when users need to structure strategic arguments, analyze business situations, create executive summaries, or develop clear problem statements using McKinsey-style communication. Apply when structuring recommendations, writing memos, or organizing strategic thinking.
Apply 25 professional mental models to solve complex problems. Use when: (1) facing multi-faceted challenges that require diverse perspectives, (2) stuck in single-minded approaches, (3) need innovative solutions, (4) making major decisions with multiple stakeholders, (5) understanding complex human behavior, or (6) seeking to break cognitive biases and adopt alternative viewpoints.
Break any problem down to fundamental truths, then rebuild solutions from atoms up. Use when user says "firstp", "first principles", "from scratch", "what are we assuming", "break this down", "atomic", "fundamental truth", "physics thinking", "Elon method", "bedrock", "ground up", "core problem", "strip away", or challenges assumptions about how things are done.
