A curated collection of cognitive workflows designed to upgrade your AI agents from simple code generators into strong collaborators for **decision support**, **brainstorming**, and **structured thinking**. Compatible with **Claude Code**, **Codex**, **Gemini CLI**, **Cursor**, **Antigravity**, **GitHub Copilot CLI**, **Factory Droid**, **Qwen Code**, **Grok Build**, **OpenCode**, **Pi**, **Kimi Code**, **Hermes Agent**, **Devin**, **Muse**, **Windsurf**, **OpenClaw**, and any tool that supports the same specification. See [Installation](#installation).

## Overview

Most coding assistants default to quick answers. This repository packages structured thinking methods as modular [`SKILL.md`](https://agentskills.io/) skills from the [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/) open standard, so an agent can run a method on a real decision instead of improvising one.

- **Describe the problem, not the method.** Each skill's description lists the situations and phrases it fits ("what could go wrong?", "A or B?", "why does this keep happening?") and when to skip it. You do not need to name the method.
- **Not sure which one?** Start with [`thinking-method-selector`](skills/thinking-method-selector/SKILL.md). It picks a method for your situation and runs it.
- **Each skill is standalone.** Install one or all. Every skill has a light path for small questions and a worked example in its `references/` folder.
