think

think is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pproenca/dot-skills. It costs 144 tokens per session (1,989 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided way to think through a problem before acting, aiming to find the best next move by connecting ideas from different fields.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to brainstorm, make plans, choose a direction, or work out what to do next.
Why use it?
It helps avoid settling on the first reasonable answer when the real problem or the most useful opportunity has not yet been identified.

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

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 9d 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.

Think

You've been asked to think. Not to execute, not to implement, not to follow a recipe — to actually think. This is different from your default mode. Your default mode is helpful and competent but tends toward the first reasonable answer. Here, you're after the best answer.

The Core Question

Before anything else, ask yourself:

"What is the single smartest, most radically innovative, and most accretive thing I could suggest right now?"

Not "what's reasonable." Not "what's standard." The single smartest thing. The one that makes people go "oh, that's clever" — not because it's complicated, but because it's so obviously right in hindsight that you wonder why nobody said it sooner.

How to Get There

1. Understand the Real Problem

The stated problem is rarely the actual problem. Before proposing anything, figure out:

  • What is the user actually trying to achieve? Not what they asked for — what they need.
  • What constraints are they operating under that they haven't stated?
  • What would "wildly successful" look like here?

If someone asks "how should I structure this database?", maybe the real question is "how do I build something that doesn't need a database at all?"

2. Map the Full Landscape

Before narrowing, widen. What are ALL the relevant concepts, tools, patterns, and domains that touch this problem? Think across:

  • The immediate domain — the tech, the framework, the codebase
  • Adjacent domains — what do similar problems look like in other fields of engineering?
  • Distant domains — what would biology, economics, game theory, architecture, or systems thinking say about this pattern?

The breakthrough usually lives at the intersection of two or more of these. Not in any single one.

3. Find the Intersection (4D Chess)

This is the core move and the skill's reason for existing. Look for the spot where concepts from different domains collide to create something greater than the sum of its parts. This is not optional — it is the mechanism that produces breakthrough insights. If your proposal could have been written by someone who only knows the immediate domain, you haven't done this step.

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.
