1. ▌
   Probe Duplicate 2 · product-on-purpose

   PROBE FIXTURE side B. Two plugins ship a skill with this exact directory name and this exact skill name. Invoke it and read which side answers - that is the whole experiment.

2. ▌
   Plt Grade Doc · product-on-purpose bundle

   Grades and reviews a product document that already exists against the researched rubric for its own document type, returning an itemized report card that quotes the document's own text as evidence, names the anti-patterns it hit, and lists the three fixes worth an hour. Use when someone asks for a review, a critique, a quality check, a second opinion, or a score on a PRD, user stories, acceptance criteria, an ADR, an RFC, a software design document, a test plan, a test case, a bug report, a risk register, a RAID log, a KPI dashboard definition, OKRs, a product vision, strategy or roadmap, a business case, a user persona, a definition of done, a runbook, an incident postmortem, retrospective notes, a status report, a backlog, or release notes.

3. ▌
   Plt Fill Template · product-on-purpose bundle

   Selects and fills a researched product-document template from a 27-bundle library covering the full product lifecycle, then grades the result against that document type's own rubric. Use when writing a PRD, user stories, acceptance criteria, a risk register, a RAID log, a KPI dashboard definition, a test plan, a test case, a bug report, an ADR, an RFC, a software design document, a product vision, strategy, roadmap, OKRs, a business case, a user persona, a definition of done, a runbook, an incident postmortem, sprint retrospective notes, a status report, a product or sprint backlog, or release notes. Each bundle carries a lean and a full variant, a worked example, and the research log every claim traces to.

4. ▌
   Style Profile · product-on-purpose bundle

   Guide a user to a personal writing-style profile - a saved selection across the catalog's Voice, Tone, Style, and Format axes - and prove it sounds like them with a generated sample before saving. Offers four intake modes (infer from your writing, recognize from examples, interview, or fill a template), confirms with an A/B sample, and saves a reusable profile to local user state.
   1 install
5. ▌
   Entry Recommender · product-on-purpose bundle

   Recommend a voice, tone, style, and format combination from the catalog's stable entries for a described writing situation, then compose the prompt in the same step. Accepts optional pre-fixed axis values; never recommends draft entries; reports low confidence rather than force-picking when nothing fits.
   1 install
6. ▌
   Writing Instruction Builder · product-on-purpose bundle

   Compose a writing instruction from voice, tone, style, and format entries you have already chosen. Returns a ready-to-paste LLM prompt prefix.
   1 install
7. ▌
   Critique Docs · product-on-purpose bundle

   Reviews technical documentation pages and page trees written in markdown against the Diataxis framework: tutorial, how-to, reference, and explanation mode fit, plus heading structure, orphaned pages, cross-mode linking, and navigation-list length. Use when the user asks for a review, feedback, a second opinion, a red-line pass, or a quality check on a docs site, a README tree, a knowledge base, or any markdown documentation before it ships.
   1 install
8. ▌
   Critique Clarity · product-on-purpose bundle

   Reviews markdown or plain-text prose for clarity against the Federal Plain Language Guidelines and Williams' Style: readability, passive voice, sentence length, and nominalization density. Judges sentence- and passage-level readability, not whether an argument's claim is supported or its structure holds together (critique-argument covers that). Use when the user asks for feedback, a second opinion, a red-line pass, or a quality check on a memo, PRD, proposal, or any prose document before it goes out.
   1 install
9. ▌
   Critique Argument · product-on-purpose bundle

   Reviews argumentative prose - essays, proposals, position papers, recommendation memos, strategy docs, and op-eds - against the Toulmin model of argument: whether the claim, grounds, warrant, backing, qualifier, and rebuttal are present, explicit, and actually hold together. Judges the argument's structure, not prose readability or sentence mechanics (critique-clarity covers that). Use when the user asks for a review, feedback, a second opinion, a red-line pass, a quality check, or a critique of whether an argument holds up before it goes out.
   1 install
10. ▌
    Critique Microcopy · product-on-purpose bundle

    Reviews error messages, empty states, and other short microcopy strings, including screens annotated with placement, container, timing, and behavior context, against NN/g's error-message guidelines: plain language, specificity, constructive next steps, neutral tone, and recovery grace. Judges the message text itself, not the surrounding screen's flow, controls, or confirmation behavior (critique-usability covers that). Use when the user asks for a review, feedback, a second opinion, a red-line pass, or a quality check on error copy, empty-state copy, form validation messages, or other short UI text before it ships.
    1 install
11. ▌
    Critique Usability · product-on-purpose bundle

    Reviews HTML or markdown UI specs, wireframe write-ups, and page mockups against Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics: system status, user control and exits, consistency, error prevention and recovery, recognition over recall, and minimalist design. Judges the interface's flow, controls, and states, not the wording of error or empty-state message text (critique-microcopy covers that), and not conformance against accessibility standards such as contrast or screen-reader access (critique-accessibility covers that). Use when the user asks for a usability review, design feedback, a second opinion, a red-line pass, a heuristic evaluation, or a quality check on a screen, a flow, or an interface spec before it goes to build. Covers static specs and mockups, not live running applications.
    2 installs
12. ▌
    Critique Accessibility · product-on-purpose bundle

    Reviews HTML pages and fragments (markdown where mappable) against WCAG 2.2 AA: contrast, alt text, heading hierarchy for screen readers, link text, and keyboard and screen-reader access. Judges conformance against WCAG, not an interface's general usability, flow, or controls (critique-usability covers that). Use when the user asks for an accessibility review, feedback, a second opinion, a red-line pass, an a11y audit, or a pre-launch quality check on a page or component.
    3 installs
13. ▌
    Critique Toy · product-on-purpose bundle

    Reviews short markdown field-operations notices, memos, and similar prose documents against the toy TOY-* grammar, covering a passive-voice recast that deletes the actor, a hedging phrase stacked ahead of an otherwise direct statement, and a subheading left with no body before the next heading of equal or higher level. Use when the user asks for a review, feedback, a second opinion, a red-line pass, or a quality check on one of this fixture's worked-example documents. This is the skill template's own committed fixture, not a shipped critique-family skill, and it is never registered in library.json.
    1 install
14. ▌
    Replace With Kebab Case Name Matching This Directory · product-on-purpose bundle

    REPLACE - state what the skill does AND when to use it, with concrete trigger keywords. One to two sentences. Third person. Avoid "helps with".

    1 install
16. ▌
    Askit Migrate · product-on-purpose bundle

    Assesses an existing skills repository against the Advanced Skill Library Standard, produces a staged bring-to-conformance plan, and writes the minimal canonical manifest so the repo becomes gradeable. Use when adopting a foreign or ad-hoc skills repo, migrating a Claude-only plugin toward cross-agent conformance, or planning a Bronze-to-Silver upgrade path.
    1 install
17. ▌

    1 install
19. ▌
    Askit Evaluate · product-on-purpose bundle

    Evaluates a skill or plugin against the Advanced Skill Library Standard across three modes, producing deterministic conformance findings and a tier, an opt-in behavioral pass, and a qualitative review.

    Askit Deprecate · product-on-purpose bundle

    Validates and records a component's deprecation (status, replacement, and removal target) and keeps deprecated components validating until removal. Use when deprecating a component, recording its replacement, or checking the deprecation contract.
    1 install
22. ▌
    Askit Build Docs · product-on-purpose bundle

    Creates and improves a plugin's documentation across modes (readme, quickstart, tutorial, how-to, reference, glossary, faq, troubleshooting, architecture, folder-readme, and an Astro Starlight docs site) to the Advanced Skill Library Standard.

    1 install
27. ▌
    Askit Build Samples · product-on-purpose bundle

    Creates and validates a skill's sample sets and eval sets (golden examples, anti-examples, and triggering cases) and detects drift against current behavior. Use when generating samples for a skill, building an eval set, or checking samples for drift.
    1 install
28. ▌
    Askit Build Settings · product-on-purpose bundle

    Creates and improves a plugin's settings and permissions per target and recommends least-privilege allowlists. Use when authoring settings, scoping permissions, wiring environment variables, or registering hooks in settings.
    1 install
29. ▌
    Askit Build Subagent · product-on-purpose bundle

    Creates and improves Claude subagents (agents/<name>.md) to the Advanced Skill Library Standard. Use when you need to author a new subagent, scaffold an agents/ delegate, declare its tools and chain, or raise an existing subagent's conformance.
    1 install
30. ▌
    Askit Build Workflow · product-on-purpose bundle

    Creates and improves workflows (an ordered multi-skill arc) for a plugin to the Advanced Skill Library Standard. Use when a recurring sequence of skills is worth formalizing as a workflow, when you need to author a _workflows file with steps and exit criteria, or to resolve S5 workflow findings.
    1 install
31. ▌
    Askit Build Agents Md · product-on-purpose bundle

    Creates and improves a plugin's AGENTS.md (the agent navigation and instructions entrypoint) to the Advanced Skill Library Standard. Use when you need to author or sync AGENTS.md, align it with the component index, or trim an overgrown one to essential, mostly-positive guidance.
    1 install
32. ▌
    Askit Standards Watch · product-on-purpose bundle

    Checks whether the pinned agentskills.io upstream specification has changed, reports which Universal conformance checks each delta lands on, and drafts a proposal ADR without editing a check or the Standard. Use when asking if the upstream spec has moved, before cutting a Standard minor version, or when re-pinning the agentskills.io revision the Universal tier tracks.
    1 install
33. ▌
    Askit Build Statusline · product-on-purpose bundle

    Creates and improves a Claude Code status line script and its settings registration. Use when authoring a status line, customizing what the status line shows, or wiring its settings entry.
    1 install

    Askit Init Marketplace · product-on-purpose bundle

    Creates and validates a marketplace index that catalogs plugins for Claude Code and Codex, checking each entry, its plugin reference, and version consistency. Use when standing up a marketplace, adding a plugin to a marketplace, or validating marketplace entries.
    1 install
35. ▌
    Askit Template Manager · product-on-purpose bundle

    Creates and maintains a plugin's global templates directory so the scaffolders produce consistent components. Use when adding a template, updating an existing one, or keeping templates in sync with the component shapes they scaffold.
    1 install
36. ▌
    Askit Build Output Style · product-on-purpose bundle

    Creates and improves Claude Code output styles (Claude-only response-mode definitions) to the Advanced Skill Library Standard. Use when you need to author a custom output style for Claude Code, define a response mode, or improve an existing output style.
    1 install
37. ▌
    Askit Capability Advisor · product-on-purpose bundle

    Reports which component types a target agent can run and recommends a conformance tier before a plugin is built, mapping Claude Code and Codex capabilities to the Advanced Skill Library Standard's component types. Use when choosing agent-targets, checking whether a component is portable across agents, or deciding which tier to aim for.
    2 installs
38. ▌
    Askit Build Chain Contract · product-on-purpose bundle

    Creates and improves a plugin's chain contract (agents/_chain-permitted.yaml) to the Advanced Skill Library Standard. Use when a skill or subagent invokes another component and you need to declare the permitted inter-component invocations, or to resolve S4 orphan or phantom findings.
    1 install
39. ▌
    Askit Capability Whats New · product-on-purpose bundle

    Surveys what the agent platforms shipped since this repository last looked, diffing each vendor's release feed forward from a recorded version pin, and writes a dated survey record without deciding anything. Use when asking what is new in Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Codex or the agentskills.io spec, before planning a release that claims to be current with the vendors, or on a periodic currency sweep.
    1 install
40. ▌
    Askit Capability Gap Analysis · product-on-purpose bundle

    Assesses a new agent capability against the capability matrix, the Standard, and every skill, subagent and command this plugin ships, then proposes a matrix update, a backlog entry or an ADR draft without implementing any of them. Use when deciding whether a new Claude Code, Cowork or Codex capability should be modelled or adopted, when analysing a capability gap after a survey reports one, or when checking which components were last verified against an older agent version.
    1 install
41. ▌
    Probe Duplicate · product-on-purpose

    PROBE FIXTURE side A. Two plugins ship a skill with this exact directory name and this exact skill name. Invoke it and read which side answers - that is the whole experiment.
    1 install
42. ▌
    Think Replace Method · product-on-purpose bundle

    REPLACE with one sentence. Lead with an action verb (Generates / Produces / Evaluates / Audits / Checks), name the artifact it produces, and include a "Use when ..." clause with concrete trigger words. Third person. Do NOT use first person ("you can", "you should", "we "). Keep under 1024 characters. This text is the activation trigger and is scored by the toolkit (U5).
    1 install
43. ▌
    Think Swot · product-on-purpose bundle

    Runs a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) caveat-first. It leads with the weak evidence (Hill and Westbrook 1997 found real SWOT grids did not amount to analysis), then forces the discipline a bare grid lacks, namely evidence-tagged and prioritized factors plus a TOWS matching step that turns the four lists into strategic options. Use only when a SWOT or TOWS is asked for by name; for genuine situation decomposition prefer think-issue-tree.
    1 install
44. ▌
    Think Top3 · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a worked three-framework analysis of a topic. Ranks the library's thinking frameworks for relevance, applies the top three so each emits its real artifact, and reconciles them into one cross-framework synthesis. Use when a decision, problem, or stuck point deserves more than one lens and the goal is worked output now rather than a plan of which methods to run later. Use when several frameworks plausibly fit and the most relevant few should be ranked, executed, and integrated into a single read.
    1 install
45. ▌
    Think Woop · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a WOOP commitment card by working through Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, and Plan - contrasting the desired outcome against the main internal obstacle and binding an if-then response to it. Use when a goal is already chosen but follow-through keeps failing, or to close the gap between intention and action.
    1 install
46. ▌
    Think Scamper · product-on-purpose bundle

    Generates a structured set of variations on an existing idea, product, or process by running it through seven transformation prompts (substitute, combine, adapt, modify, put to other use, eliminate, reverse), then shortlists the most promising, producing an expansion sheet. Use when you have a seed idea and need to break past the obvious options; not for blank-page ideation.
    1 install
47. ▌
    Think Five Whys · product-on-purpose bundle

    Runs a Five Whys root-cause trace caveat-first. It leads with the weak evidence (Card 2017 found the single-chain method oversimplifies multi-causal problems), then forces the discipline a bare why-chain lacks, namely flagging at each step whether more than one cause could apply. Use only when Five Whys is asked for by name; for any problem that might have more than one cause prefer think-issue-tree.
    1 install
48. ▌
    Think Premortem · product-on-purpose bundle

    Generates a ranked risk register that stress-tests a planned decision by imagining it has already failed, surfacing the likely causes and pairing each with a mitigation, tripwire, and kill criterion. Use when about to commit to a launch, hire, investment, migration, or any risky, hard-to-reverse decision, or when you need risks surfaced before committing.
    1 install
49. ▌
    Think Issue Tree · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces an issue tree that decomposes one big, ambiguous question top-down into a mutually-exclusive, collectively-exhaustive (MECE) set of smaller sub-questions, branch by branch, until the leaves are small enough to answer with data or judgment. Use when a question is too broad or multi-cause to answer as posed (for example "why is churn rising?", "where is margin leaking?", "should we launch a free tier?"), when analysis work must be split into non-overlapping parts, or when coverage matters and missing a whole category would be costly. Not for evaluating a given argument's soundness (use argument-mapping) or clustering existing notes (use affinity-mapping).
    1 install
50. ▌
    Think Backcasting · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a backcast path by fixing a vivid desired future state and reasoning backward through the milestones and preconditions required to reach it, ending at the next concrete step available now. Use when planning toward a transformative or long-horizon goal that forward planning anchors too low, when a chosen future needs a route mapped back to today, or when milestones and dependencies between now and the goal must be made explicit.
    1 install
51. ▌
    Think Brainwriting · product-on-purpose bundle

    Generates ideas the way silent parallel brainwriting does, producing several independent idea streams that build on each other without anchoring on the first voice, then consolidates them into a shortlisted idea pool. Use when you need breadth of options and want to avoid the anchoring and conformity that make ordinary brainstorming underperform.
    1 install
52. ▌
    Think Futures Wheel · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a consequence map by tracing the first, second, and third order effects of a change or decision radiating outward from the center, surfacing ripples beyond the obvious and flagging the high-impact branches. Use when a decision has knock-on effects over time, or when first-order thinking is missing downstream risks and opportunities.
    1 install
53. ▌
    Think Iceberg Model · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces an iceberg that moves a problem down four levels of causation - from the visible event, to the pattern over time, to the underlying structures, to the mental models that hold them in place - pairing each level with the intervention it implies to find systemic causes and higher-leverage fixes. Use when a problem keeps recurring despite event-level fixes, when a symptom is being treated as a one-off, or when the question is why this keeps happening and where to actually intervene.
    1 install
54. ▌
    Think Role Storming · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a persona-tagged divergent idea list, ideas generated while inhabiting a chosen non-self identity to lower self-censorship and shift associations. Use when idea flow is throttled by self-consciousness or a fixated frame rather than missing knowledge, and you want more and stranger candidates before converging. Not evaluation through fixed lenses (that is parallel-perspectives) and not genuine challenge (that is authentic-dissent).
    1 install
55. ▌
    Think Ethical Matrix · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces an ethical matrix, a grid that cross-references affected parties (rows, deliberately including voiceless ones such as future generations and the environment) against prima facie principles (columns of wellbeing, autonomy, fairness), specifying the option's impact in every cell and reading the result as a trade-off pattern rather than a score. Use when a concrete proposal affects multiple parties with a genuine moral trade-off among them, some affected parties have no voice, and an ethics debate keeps sliding between groups and principles. Not a decision calculator and not an option-versus-criteria scorer; the matrix maps the terrain and leaves the weighing to deliberation.
    1 install
56. ▌
    Think Frame Creation · product-on-purpose bundle

    Generates a new problem frame from theme analysis of the broader context, an abductive standpoint stated as approach it as if it were Y that redefines what the problem is and reasons forward to native solution directions. Use when an open paradoxical problem keeps resisting solutions inside the frame it arrived in, when conventional problem solving has only produced more of the symptom, or when the way a problem is framed is itself the obstacle and a fresh standpoint would be worth more than another solution attempt.
    1 install
57. ▌
    Think Minimax Regret · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a regret (opportunity-loss) matrix with the minimax pick and the binding worst-case state, choosing among options over un-probabilized states of nature. Use when a few discrete options face a few discrete uncontrollable states and no defensible probabilities exist. Not an expected-value tree (which needs probabilities) and not an attribute scorecard.
    1 install
58. ▌
    Think Question Burst · product-on-purpose bundle

    Generates a rapid burst of questions about a problem (questions only, no answers), then ranks them for which would most change the approach and selects the single most catalytic one to pursue, producing a ranked question set. Use when you are stuck, too attached to one framing, or need a better question before answering.
    1 install
59. ▌
    Think Red Team Light · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces an adversarial critique by constructing the strongest case against a proposal or thesis (the best objections an intelligent adversary would raise), then judging which objections actually land and what would rebut them. Use when a plan has too-easy consensus and needs pressure-testing, or to steelman the opposition before committing.
    4 installs
60. ▌
    Think Three Horizons · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a three-curve transition map (a declining present H1, a contested middle H2 read in two directions, an emerging future H3) with the actor located in it. Use when a group is stuck in a present-versus-future binary and needs to govern the managed decline of the old system and the cultivation of the new one at once. Not a single backward path from one fixed future, and not a set of ranked external futures.
    1 install
61. ▌
    Think Concept Mapping · product-on-purpose bundle

    Builds a concept map - a non-hierarchical network of concept nodes joined by directed, labeled linking phrases so each node-link-node reads as an explicit proposition, with cross-links across clusters - then surfaces gaps, missing links, and questionable propositions. Use when a domain has many interrelated concepts and the goal is to externalize and inspect how they relate, forcing every relationship to be named rather than left as a vague association.
    1 install
62. ▌
    Think Process Tracing · product-on-purpose bundle

    Evaluates rival causal explanations of a single case by typing each piece of within-case evidence by its diagnosticity (hoop, smoking-gun, straw-in-the-wind, doubly-decisive tests) against each rival's mechanism chain, then eliminating or confirming rivals item by item rather than by tallying. Use when one outcome has happened, several genuine rival explanations compete to explain it, and mechanism-level evidence (logs, timestamps, documents, who knew what when) is available to discriminate them - an incident postmortem, a churn spike, a lost deal, a metric anomaly. Not for cross-case generalization, not a consistency-matrix scoring tally, and not for cases with no rivals on the table.
    1 install
63. ▌
    Think Affinity Mapping · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a clustered theme map that groups many raw notes, observations, quotes, or data points bottom-up into a small set of named, traceable themes (the KJ method). Use when a scattered pile of dozens to hundreds of existing items needs to become a few emergent themes, such as synthesizing user-research notes, support tickets, survey free-text, or retro stickies, and the right structure should emerge from the data rather than be imposed.
    1 install
64. ▌
    Think Argument Mapping · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces an argument map by laying out a claim's supporting reasons, the co-premises each silently depends on, and the objections against it as an explicit structure, then flags the weakest links and unsupported premises. Use when an argument or recommendation must be evaluated for soundness, or when a fluent case may be hiding a broken inference.
    1 install
65. ▌
    Think Decision Journal · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a decision journal entry that records a consequential decision at the moment it is made - the decision, the rationale, the predicted outcome, an explicit confidence level, and the assumptions it rests on - so it can be honestly reviewed later against what actually happened. Use when committing to a consequential, uncertain decision (a launch, hire, investment, bet, or strategic choice) and you want to lock in the prediction now to defeat hindsight bias and build calibration, or when pairing a record-now step with a later review.
    1 install
66. ▌
    Think Fermi Estimation · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a Fermi decomposition worksheet that estimates an unknown numeric quantity by factoring it into a chain of order-of-magnitude sub-estimates, guessing each to within a band, then multiplying back to a point estimate plus a compounded low/high range, with an independence check and a dominant-uncertainty flag. Use when you need a number and no lookup-able data or genuine reference class exists, so the magnitude has to be built from factors (for example sizing a market, a load, a cost, or a conversion you cannot look up). Not for forecasting from real base rates (use reference-class-forecasting) or decomposing a question for coverage with no number (use issue-tree).
    1 install
67. ▌
    Think Authentic Dissent · product-on-purpose bundle

    Checks whether a decision has genuine minority dissent or only smooth surface consensus, identifies who actually holds a contrary view, and plans how to elicit and protect real dissent, flagging clearly where a view is constructed rather than authentically held. Use when consensus feels too easy, or to set up genuine challenge before a high-stakes call.
    1 install
68. ▌
    Think Boundary Critique · product-on-purpose bundle

    Audits the boundary judgments that silently define a problem frame. For each of four sources, who benefits, who decides, whose knowledge counts, who has standing, it contrasts the descriptive is boundary against the normative ought boundary, names the gaps, and lists the affected-but-excluded parties who have no voice in the frame, producing a boundary-judgment audit rather than a stakeholder round-up. Use when a plan, metric, or proposal already encodes who matters and who does not and the risk is solving a tidy problem for the people inside the line while pushing harm onto people outside it, when an improvement claim rests on an unexamined judgment about whose improvement, or on contested, value-laden, multi-party situations.
    1 install
69. ▌
    Think Framework Advisor · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a prioritized, evidence-graded Thinking Plan that diagnoses which thinking frameworks a situation actually needs - the dominant cognitive job, a short sequence of the fewest fitting frameworks to apply (each with its evidence tier, expected artifact, and a ready-to-run prompt), and what not to use. Recommends only frameworks this library ships. Use when unsure which thinking method or skill fits a decision, problem, or stuck point, when overwhelmed by where to start, or when you need a recommended plan of which frameworks to use and why rather than running one yourself.

    Think Pyramid Principle · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a pyramid that structures a recommendation answer-first - a single governing thought on top, a small set of MECE, deliberately ordered key arguments beneath it, and supporting evidence under each (Minto), with an optional SCQA intro framing. Use when a conclusion or recommendation already exists and must be communicated clearly to a busy or senior reader, when findings need to be ordered into a tight top-down case, or when a write-up buries its point under context.

    Think Random Frameworks · product-on-purpose bundle

    Generates three off-pattern framework analyses of a topic by drawing frameworks at random, applying each regardless of fit, and harvesting the non-obvious angles the unexpected lenses expose. Use when a framing feels frozen or fixated and the goal is to break out of it with deliberately unranked methods rather than the obvious best-fit ones. Use when relevance-ranked selection would only reinforce the stuck view and a random draw is wanted to surface what a fitted analysis would miss.

    Think Scenario Planning · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a scenario set, 2-4 contrasting and internally consistent short narratives of alternative external futures named by two critical-uncertainty axes, plus a robustness read of the strategy across the worlds (which moves survive every world, which early signals show which world is arriving, which options to keep open). Use when the planning horizon is long and the decisive forces are outside control and not reliably predictable, and a single implicit forecast is driving the strategy. Not forecasting and not a single preferred path.

    Think Research Framework · product-on-purpose bundle

    Researches a thinking framework end to end and produces a schema-valid proposed registry entry plus a learning dossier, grading the evidence on the seven-tier model and assessing overlap against the shipped catalog. Use when you need an honest evidence grade and a build-or-fold verdict for a candidate method before turning it into a skill, when reproducing the evidence-and-overlap vetting on a method the catalog already judged, or when you need a ranked shortlist of new candidate methods in a family.

74. ▌
    Think After Action Review · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a structured after-action review by comparing what was expected against what actually happened, diagnosing why the gaps occurred, and converting them into specific owned sustain-and-change actions. Use when a project, launch, sprint, or incident has finished and you want to turn the outcome into learning, not a status update.

75. ▌
    Think Assumption Reversal · product-on-purpose bundle

    Generates non-obvious ideas by surfacing the foundational assumptions a problem or solution rests on, negating each, and reframing from the reversed assumptions, then shortlisting, producing an assumptions-and-reversals sheet. Use when an option space feels stuck inside default constraints, or when you need to expose premises that are taken for granted.

76. ▌
    Think Pairwise Comparison · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a binary-vote comparison matrix (every pair judged A-beats-B), a derived ranking, and a consistency check, ordering options without any criteria axis or absolute scoring. Use when items must be ranked but no defensible scale or articulable criteria exist. Not a criteria-weighted option matrix and not a base-rate forecast.

77. ▌
    Think Problem Restatement · product-on-purpose bundle

    Generates several genuinely different framings of an ambiguous problem by varying altitude, stakeholder, and goal-versus-implementation, then selects the most useful one to solve and produces a reframed problem statement with How Might We angles. Use when a problem is vague, arrived as a symptom or a pre-baked solution, or before committing significant work to solving the wrong thing.

    Think Causal Loop Diagrams · product-on-purpose bundle

    Builds a signed causal loop diagram by closing the feedback loops in a situation, labeling each loop reinforcing (R) or balancing (B) with its link polarities, and reading likely dynamics (spiral, goal-seeking, or oscillation) off which loop dominates. Use when a situation feeds back on itself - growth that funds more growth, a fix that recreates its own problem, capacity that relieves then re-attracts demand - and you need to see why it keeps accelerating, stalling, or overshooting. Not for a single accumulation, a one-directional consequence tree, or a genuinely linear chain.

79. ▌
    Think Far Analogy Ideation · product-on-purpose bundle

    Generates novel solution candidates by stating a problem's deep relational structure, mapping it to distant source domains (nature, other industries, games), and transferring the mechanism rather than surface features, then adapting. Use when near, obvious solutions are exhausted and you need genuinely original approaches.
    1 install
80. ▌
    Think Abstraction Laddering · product-on-purpose bundle

    Builds an abstraction ladder that moves a problem up ("why / to what end?") and down ("how / what specifically?") to locate the right altitude to work at, then marks one rung as the working level. Use when a problem is stated as a bare solution with an unstated purpose, as a vague aspiration with no concrete handle, when people are arguing past each other at different levels, or before committing effort at an altitude nobody chose on purpose.

    Think Belief Update Routine · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a belief-update ledger that re-scores a standing inventory of open beliefs against newly arrived evidence on a cadence - each belief carrying a prior confidence, the evidence accrued since the last review, a revised confidence with an explicit delta and direction, a reason for the size of the move (a guard against under-updating), and a next-review trigger. Use when you hold consequential open beliefs, forecasts, or standing assumptions that should track new evidence over time and you want a disciplined, recurring re-score - not a one-time decision record, a finished-event retro, or a single claim's conditions.

82. ▌
    Think Consider The Unknowns · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a known-unknowns ledger by enumerating the relevant evidence not in hand, the variables that bear on a judgment but are unknown or unobservable, rating each unknown by its bearing and its obtainability, then re-rating confidence against the mapped gap. Use when a consequential one-off judgment rests on thin or partial evidence, no usable base rate exists, and the confidence on the table may be inflated by what was never looked at. Not for cases with a real reference class, for widening a numeric interval, or for unknowns cheap enough to just go resolve.

83. ▌
    Think Theory Of Constraints · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a constraint-intervention plan that names the single binding constraint capping a system's throughput and attaches its exploit, subordinate, and elevate decisions, after testing capacity versus demand at each step to confirm that step is genuinely the rate-limiter rather than the loudest one. Use when a system has a clear flow (a pipeline, a funnel, a queue, an approval chain, a production line) whose output is capped by one step and improvement effort is being spread evenly across all steps instead of aimed at the bottleneck. Not for coverage questions (route to think-issue-tree), recurring deep-cause questions (route to think-iceberg-model), or accumulation-trajectory questions (route to think-stocks-and-flows-reasoning).

    Think Complexity Domain Sort · product-on-purpose bundle

    Runs a Complexity Domain Sort, sorting a situation into Clear, Complicated, Complex, Chaotic, or Confusion and choosing the response posture that fits, caveat-first. It leads with the weak evidence (the 2021 PMC internal-medicine review found scientific proof of its validity has yet to be provided), then forces the discipline the bare label lacks, namely an explicit response posture and a concrete next action rather than just a name. Use only when this complexity sort (also known as Cynefin) is asked for by name; for cause decomposition prefer think-issue-tree.

    Think Decision Option Review · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a criteria-weighted option matrix by comparing a set of options against weighted criteria, scoring each, surfacing the explicit tradeoffs, and recommending one while flagging where the scoring is soft. Use when choosing among several real options, or when a decision needs its tradeoffs made explicit rather than left to intuition.

86. ▌
    Think Morphological Analysis · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a morphological field (a Zwicky box of independent parameters by their possible values) plus a cross-consistency-pruned set of internally consistent configurations. Use when a solution is genuinely a configuration - a choice on each of several semi-independent dimensions (product architecture, service bundle, policy package) - and the risk is defaulting to one familiar combination and never seeing the rest of the space. Not a top-down MECE tree and not a provoked option list.

87. ▌
    Think Reflective Equilibrium · product-on-purpose bundle

    Runs reflective equilibrium (mutual adjustment between considered case judgments, general principles, and background theories) caveat-first. It leads with the weak evidence (philosophically central since Rawls 1971 but empirically untested as a procedure, with three failure modes that bite in a bounded session), then forces the discipline a bare run lacks, namely an explicit revision ledger that records which commitment gave way and why. Use only when reflective equilibrium is asked for by name; for impartial allocation prefer think-veil-of-ignorance-reasoning, for a parties-by-principles audit think-ethical-matrix.

    Think Causal Layered Analysis · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a four-layer matrix (litany, system, worldview, myth) of the current 'used future' beside a reconstructed preferred future per layer, anchored by a deliberately changed deep metaphor. Use when an issue is stuck because the framing is stuck, the official account and the system explanation have been argued to exhaustion, and the real disagreement is about clashing worldviews and the unexamined story underneath. Not a single-cause diagnosis (that is think-iceberg-model) and not a forecast.

    Think One Way Vs Two Way Door · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a reversibility classification that triages a decision before any analysis - labeling it a reversible two-way door or a hard-to-reverse one-way door - and matches the deliberation and sign-off level to that verdict, so reversible calls are made fast and irreversible ones get real rigor. Use when it is unclear how much process a decision deserves, when a team is about to rubber-stamp something irreversible or convene a committee over something trivially reversible, or when a chronically slow org needs a defensible reason to move fast or slow down.

    Think Contradiction Resolution · product-on-purpose bundle

    Converts a stuck trade-off into a contradiction to dissolve rather than a compromise to settle for. Names the two conflicting requirements, states an implementation-free Ideal Final Result, and applies the four separation principles (separate the requirements in time, space, scale, or condition) to satisfy both at once, then produces either a concrete resolution or an honest flag that the trade-off is genuine. Use when a decision has hardened into an either/or like speed versus quality, thorough versus fast, or generous versus profitable, when splitting the difference feels wrong and a win-win would be worth far more than the best compromise, or when a recurring design or product trade-off keeps forcing the same painful balance.

    Think Eisenhower Moscow Pareto · product-on-purpose bundle

    Runs one of the three lightweight prioritization presets (Eisenhower urgent-important 2x2, MoSCoW Must/Should/Could/Wont bucketing, or Pareto vital-few cut) caveat-first. It leads with the fact that this is a bundle of three different operations stapled by the word "prioritization", not one move, and each is weakly evidenced, then produces the one preset the user named with the discipline a canned template lacks. Use only when an Eisenhower matrix, MoSCoW list, or Pareto chart is asked for by name; for the rigorous versions prefer think-theory-of-constraints, think-one-way-vs-two-way-door, or think-decision-option-review.

    Think Linear Model Aggregation · product-on-purpose bundle

    Builds a simple mechanical scoring model - a few weighted predictive cues combined by a fixed formula and applied consistently - for a repeated predictive judgment, because consistent simple rules reliably match or beat holistic expert intuition. Use when the same kind of evaluative judgment recurs (screening candidates, scoring leads, triaging) and gut calls are inconsistent or overconfident.

93. ▌
    Think Dialectical Bootstrapping · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a dialectical estimate that improves a single committed number by polling the inner crowd, make a first estimate, assume it is wrong and list why, read whether that pushes the answer too high or too low, make a second estimate from those changed assumptions, then mechanically average the two. Use when a hard, one-off, bounded-scale numeric estimate (a year, a percentage, a count, a forecast) is about to be committed and no second judge, no real reference class, and no better data are available. Not for easy questions, not for unbounded order-of-magnitude unknowns, and never a cherry-picked single number in place of the average.

    Think Ladder Of Inference Check · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces an annotated reasoning trace that reconstructs how a conclusion was reached, from the observable data, to the data actually selected, to the meaning and assumptions added, then flags the riskiest leap and tests an alternative interpretation. Use when a conclusion feels certain but rests on interpretation, or to audit a contested inference.

95. ▌
    Think Evidence Vs Inference Sort · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces an evidence/inference ledger by sorting the claims in a prompt, document, or proposed conclusion into evidence, inference, and assumption, attaching a confidence level to each inference and flagging anything uncited. Use when a recommendation must be trusted, or when you need to audit the reasoning behind a conclusion in a high-stakes context.

96. ▌
    Think Interest Based Negotiation · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a negotiation preparation map that separates both sides' positions from their underlying interests, anchors the accept-or-walk decision on a named, valued best alternative inside the mapped zone of possible agreement, and invents options for mutual gain across differently-valued issues before dividing value against objective criteria. Use when agreement is required from a party not under your control and more than one issue is in play (salary, vendor, partnership, resource, or multi-party disputes), and a position fight has hardened before anyone checked whether the interests actually conflict. Preparation deskwork only, not live-table tactics, and not for a single-issue distributive haggle or a choice with no counterparty.

    Think Interval Calibration Check · product-on-purpose bundle

    Audits whether a stated confidence interval means what it claims by running an equivalent-bet indifference test on its width and scoring nominal confidence against the actual hit rate, emitting corrected intervals and a calibration scorecard. Use when a human-stated interval or confidence number drives a consequential plan, forecast, or commitment and has never been audited, and the worry is overprecision rather than a wrong central estimate. Calibrates human-stated uncertainty only, never the agent's own confidence, and resizes width without relocating the number. Not for lookupable facts and not a promise of full debiasing.

    Think Natural Frequency Bayesian · product-on-purpose bundle

    Converts a conditional-probability or base-rate question into natural frequencies over a concrete population (for example 9 of 1000) to compute the correct posterior and expose base-rate neglect, and refuses to proceed without real input rates. Use when interpreting a test result, screening signal, or any "given a positive, what is the real probability" question.

99. ▌
    Think Stocks And Flows Reasoning · product-on-purpose bundle

    Produces a stock-flow map by separating a quantity that accumulates from the inflows and outflows that change it, then reasoning about the stock's trajectory from the net flow rather than the direction of any single flow. Use when a problem involves an accumulation (cash, debt, backlog, headcount, customer base, technical debt, emissions) and intuition about whether it is rising or falling may be wrong.

     Think What Would Have To Be True · product-on-purpose bundle

     Converts a strategy, option, or contested claim into the specific conditions that would have to be true for it to be the best choice, rates each condition's confidence, and identifies which load-bearing assumptions to test first, producing an assumption ledger. Use when evaluating a strategic bet, or when a disagreement has become a clash of opinions rather than evidence.
