Who is it for?
Developers who use ultrathink as a deliberate pause or meme command and want agents to obey a fixed display script.
Skip if: Anyone expecting deep reasoning, planning, or codebase analysis from an ultrathink invocation.

Journey fit
Build / agent-tooling is the canonical shelf for custom slash commands and lightweight agent personality hooks in the coding environment. Agent-tooling covers optional skills that extend how the agent responds to explicit user invocations, not product features.
How it compares
A display-only meta skill, not a brainstorming or planning workflow.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is ultrathink for?
Solo builders using bash-capable coding agents who have adopted ultrathink as an explicit slash-style command and want predictable ANSI art output.
When should I use ultrathink?
Only when you intentionally say ultrathink or /ultrathink during a Build session as a lightweight agent-tooling easter egg—not as a substitute for planning skills.
Is ultrathink safe to install?
It runs a local printf via Bash with no network or git writes; review the Security Audits panel on this Prism page before enabling any shell-running skill.
