Results for “groupthink”

Simulates a multi-perspective deliberation council to explore complex questions, decisions, or creative challenges from diverse thinking archetypes.

Guides collaborative dialogue to turn ideas into fully formed designs and specs before any implementation begins.

Interactive idea refinement using Socratic method to develop fully-formed designs

Interviews users relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree.

A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design.

Structured brainstorming for projects and features. Explores multiple options before implementation.

Runs a relentless interview that sharpens a plan or design. Use when the user wants to be grilled on an idea, pressure-test a plan, or refine a design through questioning.

Brainstorming Skill

Challenge system assumptions against accumulated evidence. Triages observations and tensions, detects patterns, generates proposals. The scientific method applied to knowledge systems. Triggers on "/rethink", "review observations", "challenge assumptions", "what have I learned".

Throwaway experiments to validate an idea before build.

You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.

Build lean, opinionated products using the 37signals philosophy from Getting Real, Rework, and Shape Up. Use when the user mentions "Getting Real", "Rework", "Shape Up", "37signals", "Basecamp method", "six-week cycles", "fixed time variable scope", "appetite vs estimates", "betting table", "breadboarding", "fat marker sketch", "build less", "underdo the competition", or "opinionated software". Also trigger when cutting scope to ship faster, running small teams, avoiding long-term roadmaps, or eliminating meetings. Covers shaping, betting, building, and the art of saying no. For MVP validation, see lean-startup. For design sprints, see design-sprint.

Grill the user relentlessly about a plan, decision, or idea. Use when the user wants to stress-test their thinking, or uses any 'grill' trigger phrases.

Evaluate scientific claims and evidence quality by assessing experimental design, identifying biases and confounders, and applying evidence grading frameworks like GRADE and Cochrane Risk of Bias.

Turns rough ideas into approved, decision-complete plans with validated structure before coding. Use when users ask in any language for planning, architecture, design direction, feasibility, value judgment, or whether a feature is worth doing before implementation. Not for bug fixes or small edits.

Grill the user relentlessly about a plan, decision, or idea — one question at a time — until shared understanding is reached. Use when the user says "grill me", "stress-test this plan", "interview me about this", "poke holes in this", "challenge my thinking", or before committing to a non-trivial design.

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.

product-brainstorming

Grill the user relentlessly about a plan, decision, or idea. Use when the user wants to stress-test their thinking, or uses any 'grill' trigger phrases.

Expert-guided brainstorming and ideation session. Phase 1 Analysis

You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.

Harness Ideate

Synthesize retrospectives into themes, root causes, decisions, and team improvements.

Run a Virtual Think Tank — a structured multi-persona debate — before planning or making architectural/design/strategic decisions. Use this skill whenever the user is about to plan a system, make a technology choice, evaluate trade-offs, decide on an approach, or faces any decision where multiple perspectives would sharpen the outcome. Also trigger when the user says "think tank", "debate this", "perspectives on", "trade-offs", "should I use X or Y", "help me decide", "before we plan", or asks for pros/cons of competing approaches. This skill should run BEFORE any implementation planning begins — it produces a structured analysis that feeds into better plans.
