What it does
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 solo builders 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 builders 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 indie operators shipping with Claude.
Highlights
- 18 mental models and critical-thinking skills packaged for Claude Code
- Named frameworks including First Principles, Bayesian, Systems Thinking, OODA, and Pre-Mortem
- Reasoning-oriented skills for analysis, scope, and risk—not one-off API glue
- Single-plugin bundle in the productivity category on the marketplace
- Usable at any journey phase when decisions need explicit structure
Why builders use it
Builders let the coding agent jump to implementation without explicit reasoning, so bad scope and fragile decisions slip through.
After install, you can invoke named thinking frameworks so decisions, risks, and tradeoffs are argued in structured steps before you commit effort.
