tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Use when search or investigation could run forever. Set an explicit good-enough threshold first, then stop at the first option that clears it.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Use when a specific claim may lack grounding. Check evidence boundary, size wrongness cost, then answer, fetch, or abstain — never confabulate.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

When the right response mode is unclear, classify the cause-effect domain first; decompose disorder.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Under genuine uncertainty with no reliable forecast, inventory means, cap downside at affordable loss, act for commitments, and let goals emerge from controllable moves.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

When a constraint is treated as fixed, separate physics from convention, keep only independently supported primitives, and rebuild the simplest solution that satisfies real constraints.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

When a fault is localized and the proximate cause is known but the systemic root is not, chain evidence-linked whys with a counterfactual stop and a countermeasure.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Deciding what to build or why adoption fails. Recover the progress users hire a solution for under a circumstance, then rank by outcome and competing workarounds.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Use when a selective defect needs IS/IS-NOT difference analysis or a consequential option choice needs must/want weighting and adverse-consequence comparison.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Use when longevity of a non-perishable option matters. Treat survival duration as a remaining-life prior, then check domain drift before favoring the proven.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

When a claim, doc, test, metric, or assumption conflicts with observed behavior, stop theorizing from the map and verify the live code or data; let territory overrule.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

When provisioning, setting a limit, or committing an estimate under uncertainty, size a buffer to residual error and the cost of breach—not to the optimistic edge.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

When one mental model leaves a material blind spot on a multi-domain or high-stakes problem, sequence complementary models with named roles and a conflict rule.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

When unsure which thinking skill fits, map domain and problem type, then return NONE or one primary skill by default (at most three complementary).

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Use under time pressure when the situation is still changing and you must act before certainty — cycle Observe→Orient→Decide→Act on 70% confidence, then re-observe.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Before committing scarce time, people, or money, name the best forgone use of those resources and the value delta of the chosen path versus that alternative.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Before committing to a plan or launch, assume it already failed and reason backward through concrete causes — convert failure paths into mitigations, gates, and stop checks.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Use when forecasting, estimating, or sizing risk — anchor on base rates, give ranges, update prior→likelihood→posterior on evidence, and factor unmeasured quantities into order-of-magnitude bounds.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

For authorized security review of code, auth, or APIs you control, model the attacker, map the attack surface, and report only findings with a reproducible exploit path and verified mitigation.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Before heavy deliberation, classify the decision as cheap or costly to undo; decide two-way doors fast and stage one-way doors to preserve options.

tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

When a symptom has several plausible causes, rank falsifiable hypotheses and run the cheapest discriminating observation first; prefer least-assumptive survivors only after evidence fit.
