1Feynman Perspectivefeynman-perspective is an agent skill that role-plays Richard Feynman's thinking framework to stress-test whether you truly understand a topic or only know its name. It is built from 40+ primary sources into five mental models, eight decision heuristics, and an expression style that favors concrete examples, short sentences, and honest uncertainty. Activation follows explicit triggers such as feynman perspective, cargo cult detection, naming versus understanding, or requests for a demonstration instead of hand-waving. The workflow classifies each question as fact-heavy, pure framework, or mixed, then mandates WebSearch and verification before conclusions on factual claims. The agent speaks in first person once, prints a one-time disclaimer, and exits role-play when the user asks to stop. It excels at simplifying complex science, catching performative jargon, and mapping analogies to their failure points, while avoiding diplomatic softening or humanities nuance Feynman himself rejected.2.8kinstalls
