A deterministic thinking partner that challenges assumptions and applies mental models to sharpen decisions, solve problems, and think more clearly. Use this skill whenever a user says "help me think through X", "challenge my thinking", "what am I missing", "apply mental models to this", "play devil's advocate", "stress test this idea", "poke holes in my plan", "help me decide between X and Y", "what are the second-order effects", "I'm stuck on a decision", names any specific model (SWOT, first principles, inversion, pre-mortem, etc.), or asks for structured reasoning on any ambiguous, high-stakes, or complex problem. Also trigger when the user seems uncertain, is rationalizing, or is asking "am I thinking about this right?" Even casual phrases like "what do you think about..." on non-trivial topics should trigger this skill.
Install and use the 毛选.skill cognitive framework for Claude Code — applies Mao Zedong's strategic mental models (contradiction analysis, protracted war, rural encirclement, united front) to help analyze problems, devise strategies, and cut through complexity.
Reasons through problems using six cognitive modes. Applies causal (execute goals), abductive (explain observations), inductive (find patterns), analogical (transfer from similar), dialectical (resolve tensions), and counterfactual (evaluate alternatives) thinking. Use when planning, diagnosing, finding patterns, evaluating trade-offs, or exploring what-ifs. Triggers on "why did", "what if", "how should", "analyze this", "figure out".
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.
Use when brainstorming feels stuck or generates obvious ideas, need to break creative patterns, working with limited resources (budget/time/tools/materials), want unconventional solutions, designing with specific limitations, user mentions "think outside the box", "we're stuck", "same old ideas", "tight constraints", "limited budget/time", or seeking innovation through limitation rather than abundance.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "think laterally", "apply De Bono's method", "break out of this pattern", "generate creative alternatives", "use lateral thinking", "apply provocation", "use Six Hats", "challenge assumptions", or wants to process input through Edward de Bono's Lateral Thinking to escape dominant patterns and generate new perspectives.
AI agent applies a 5-phase systematic framework for tackling complex problems when conventional approaches fail. Use when stuck, blocked, or troubleshooting issues.
Apply graph-based thinking to visualize complex relationships and solve problems non-linearly. Use when mapping dependencies, analyzing systems, exploring interconnected concepts, or designing architectures.
You must use this when seeking cross-domain analogies, applying first-principles reasoning, or overcoming creative bottlenecks.
Analyze complex systems through stocks, flows, and feedback loops to find high-leverage interventions. For organizational, environmental, social, and technical systems exhibiting circular causality. NOT for linear problems or simple cause-effect chains.
Apply a latticework of mental models from multiple disciplines to improve decision quality. Use this skill when the user needs to think more clearly, avoid cognitive blind spots, apply cross-disciplinary reasoning, or evaluate a complex decision from multiple angles — even if they say 'how should I think about this', 'what am I missing', 'give me a different perspective', or 'what frameworks apply here'.
Use logic tree approach to identify root causes of business problems. Use when diagnosing performance issues, process failures, or customer behavior patterns.
