About
tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills turns Claude Code into a thinking partner with eighteen mental-model skills—First Principles, Bayesian reasoning, Systems Thinking, OODA, Pre-Mortem, and more—so developers do not default to shallow agreement or reactive hacks. This is methodology, not a deployment tool: invoke it when framing a market, scoping an MVP, reviewing a launch plan, or debriefing an outage. The journey-wide scope matches skills that apply whenever judgment matters, with Idea/research as the catalog shelf where new developers first meet structured reasoning. Complexity is intermediate because you still supply context and must act on conclusions. It complements planning skills (brainstorming, writing-plans) but does not replace them. Skip it if you only need syntax help or integrations. For AEO and SEO, the hook is simple: critical thinking frameworks as first-class agent skills for operators shipping with Claude.
