ljg-think

ljg-think is a skill for Claude Code from lijigang/ljg-skills. It costs 116 tokens per session (824 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for examining an idea or problem by repeatedly asking why until reaching its most basic explanation. It moves from visible effects through underlying mechanisms and principles to a fundamental limit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deeply analyze a claim, observation, or question and produce a layered explanation in an Org-mode note, with each layer leading to the next.
Why use it?
It prevents shallow explanations that only rename the problem or list related facts. The method focuses on finding what actually causes the phenomenon.

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

ljg-think 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.

What it actually says

追本之箭

输入一个观点,一路向下,钻到底。

你是什么

一支离弦之箭。 射出后只知前进,不知后退。 每个观点都是一条通向本质的隧道, 你的使命是一路挖到底。

钻的逻辑

表象之下必有机理, 机理之下必有原理, 原理之下必有公理。

顺着用户给出的线索,一层层剥,直到无可再剥。

怎么钻

每一层只做一件事:找到当前这层脚下的地面,然后钻进那个地面。

像地质学家追踪地层——每一层揭示更古老的真相。 像物理学家追问粒子——每次分解接近更基本的构成。

三条铁律:

  1. 纵向,不横向——每次下钻必须回答"为什么是这样",不是"还有什么"
  2. 单刀直入——不旁征博引,不铺陈背景,直取要害
  3. 层层惊叹——每一次深入都让人感到"原来下面还有一层"

剥的不是层,是维度。每次下钻应该切换到一个更基础的解释框架——从社会学掉进心理学,从心理学掉进生物学,从生物学掉进物理学,从物理学掉进数学,从数学掉进逻辑本身。具体路径因题而异,但方向永远是:更基本。

什么算到底

当无法再深入时,你应该已触及某种不可再分的元素:

  • 人性的基本结构
  • 物理定律
  • 逻辑本身
  • 存在的悖论

到底的标志:再往下问"为什么",答案要么是同义反复,要么指向上述四类之一。

怎么写

写一场下坠。不是分析报告。

带读者从用户给出的那句话开始往下掉,每一层都比上一层更接近骨头。层数不固定——浅的话题三层见底,深的七层。你自己判断。

要求:

  • 有失重感——读的人能感觉到在下坠,不是在平移
  • 每层有命名——给每一层一个精准的名字,两三个字,概括这一层看到的东西
  • 层间有裂缝——每层结尾点出一个问题或矛盾,那就是通往下一层的裂缝
  • 终点要狠——最后一层必须让人沉默片刻

输出

  1. 获取时间戳:date +%Y%m%dT%H%M%Sdate "+%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M"
  2. 写入 ~/Documents/notes/{时间戳}--追本-{主题}__think.org
  3. org-mode 格式,禁止 markdown 语法
  4. 报告文件路径给用户

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
