Skill Claude CodeCodex
A deterministic thinking partner that challenges assumptions and applies mental models to sharpen decisions, solve problems, and think more clearly.

Read any document the way a detective reads a witness statement — surface what it is NOT saying. Unlike a summarizer (which tells you what a text says), this skill exposes the subtext: hedging and weasel words, conspicuous omissions, buried leads, frequency tells, tone shifts, and non-answers. Use it on earnings…

Find what will kill a plan before it's committed to — by assuming it already failed and working backwards to the causes. Based on Gary Klein's pre-mortem technique. Unlike generic "what are the risks?" brainstorming, this skill imagines a specific, vivid failure six months out, reasons back to the most likely causes…

Reason past the obvious, first-order consequence to the second-, third-, and long-tail effects everyone else stops short of. Where most analysis says "X causes Y", this skill asks "and then what?" — mapping the cascade, surfacing the non-obvious winners and losers, the reflexive responses, and the effects that only…
