critical-thinking

Proactively challenge implementation plans, architecture decisions, and design assumptions. Use when reviewing plans, designs, or technical decisions. Verifies claims via web search, cross-references documentation, identifies risks and gaps, and surfaces hidden assumptions. Activates automatically when evaluating technical proposals.

Problem-Solving Techniques

Apply systematic problem-solving techniques for complexity spirals (simplification cascades), innovation blocks (collision-zone thinking), recurring patterns (meta-pattern recognition), assumption constraints (inversion exercise), scale uncertainty (scale game), and dispatch when stuck. Techniques derived from Microsoft Amplifier project patterns adapted for immediate application. | Dùng khi giải quyết vấn đề, tìm giải pháp, phân tích, tối ưu, thuật toán, bị kẹt.

brainstorming

Use when creating or developing, before writing code or implementation plans - refines rough ideas into fully-formed designs through collaborative questioning, alternative exploration, and incremental validation. Don't use during clear 'mechanical' processes

verification-gate

Enforce mandatory pre-action verification checkpoints to prevent pattern-matching from overriding explicit reasoning. Use this skill when about to execute implementation actions (Bash, Write, Edit, MultiEdit) to verify hypothesis-action alignment. Blocks execution when hypothesis unverified or action targets different system than hypothesis identified. Critical for preventing cognitive dissonance where correct diagnosis leads to wrong implementation.

requirements-elicitation

Systematic framework for analyzing product documents (PRDs, feature specs, user stories, roadmaps, one-pagers) to identify gaps, generate clarifying questions for PMs and engineers, and assess technical risks. This skill should be used when engineers or technical leads need to bridge PM documents and implementation by eliciting missing technical details rather than making assumptions. Use when asked to extract technical requirements, review specs, identify what's missing, or prepare clarifying questions from product documents.

dreaming

Think expansively and imaginatively without practical constraints. Use when brainstorming ambitious ideas, exploring what's possible, challenging assumptions, envisioning ideal futures, or when the user needs to break out of incremental thinking and imagine boldly.

wise-novice

Approach problems with beginner's mind while asking penetrating questions. Use when seeking fresh perspectives, cutting through complexity, challenging expert assumptions, simplifying explanations, or when deep domain knowledge may be creating blind spots.

sequential-thinking

Structured problem-solving through iterative reasoning with revision and branching capabilities for complex problems. Use when tackling multi-step problems with uncertain scope, design planning, architecture decisions, or systematic decomposition. Auto-activates when user asks about breaking down epics, designing systems, assessing complexity, or performing root-cause analysis. Uses 6-step process: Initial assessment (rough estimate) → Iterative reasoning (learn progressively) → Dynamic scope adjustment (refine as understanding deepens) → Revision mechanism (update when assumptions change) → Branching for alternatives (explore multiple approaches) → Conclusion (synthesize findings). Supports explicit uncertainty acknowledgment within thoughts. Adjusts total thought count dynamically (e.g., "Thought 3/8" when initially estimated 5). Recommends binary search for intermittent issues and five-whys technique for root causes.

structured-analysis

Apply structured analytical frameworks to any artifact (prompts, systems, documents, code). 12 frameworks in 3 tiers: Core (4 universal), Auto-Invoke (specialized), On-Demand (advanced). Includes adversarial-review for finding blind spots and post-plan validation workflow.

critical-perspective

Engage in critical thinking by questioning assumptions, exploring alternative perspectives, and uncovering latent topics in conversations. Use when discussions could benefit from deeper exploration, when identifying blind spots, or when broadening understanding through respectful challenge and curiosity-driven inquiry.

prd-v05-risk-discovery-interview

Surface risks through guided questioning, helping users consider pivots, constraints, and prioritization during PRD v0.5 Red Team Review. Triggers on requests to identify risks, stress-test the idea, perform red team review, or when user asks "what could go wrong?", "identify risks", "red team", "risk assessment", "challenge assumptions", "stress test the idea". Consumes all prior IDs (CFD-, BR-, FEA-, PER-, UJ-, SCR-) as interview context. Outputs RISK- entries with owner decisions and mitigations. Feeds v0.5 Technical Stack Selection.
