akithink

akithink is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lacvietanh/akidevrule. It costs 113 tokens per session (1,096 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided conversation for making important decisions. It breaks the decision into goals, facts, limits, assumptions, possible objections, and likely failure scenarios before recording a conclusion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for major technical, product, or personal decisions that need structured discussion, criticism, and a written decision record.
Why use it?
It helps when a decision is difficult to reverse or the real goal is unclear, and prevents settling too quickly on an untested answer.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

akithink scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

akithink — structured deep-thinking session

Invoke with /akithink, or when the user explicitly asks for a deep-thinking session on a decision ("let's think this through properly", "hãy tư duy sâu về việc này", "cần một session suy nghĩ kỹ"). This is the active consumption mode of payload/METHOD-deep-think.md — the same analytical brain that akirule loads passively for ordinary tasks, run here at maximum depth through an interactive protocol.

When NOT to use this skill

Small, reversible, low-cost-of-error decisions should just be decided. Casual "should we…?" questions are already handled inline by akirule auto-loading METHOD-deep-think.md passively — that is enough for two-way-door decisions. Reach for /akithink only when the decision is big, hard to reverse (one-way-door), or the goal itself is still unclear. Do not open a session for something that a one-paragraph answer would resolve.

Toolbox

At session start, Read ~/.aki/akidevrule/METHOD-deep-think.md. It is the toolbox for every phase below — do not re-derive the modules from memory.

Phase 0 — model check

If the current model is Haiku or Sonnet, print a recommendation: deep-thinking sessions are best run on a top-tier model (Opus/Fable) — suggest /model then re-invoke /akithink. This is a recommendation only, never a block — if the user wants to continue on the current model, proceed.

Phase 1 — restate

Restate the problem in your own words. Wait for the user to confirm or correct it. Do not proceed to Phase 2 on an unconfirmed restatement — a session built on a misunderstood problem wastes the whole point of slowing down.

Phase 2 — goal excavation

Apply METHOD Module 1 (goal excavation). Climb the goal hierarchy to the ultimate goal; produce the explicit goal chain; call out conflicting goals.

Phase 3 — first principles

Apply METHOD Module 2 (facts / real constraints / assumptions). If the problem has business or product context, also apply Module 4 (techbiz lens). Skip Module 4 explicitly, and say so, when the problem is a personal tool, art project, or pure research question.
