Apply structured mental models to problems. If a specific model was requested,
invoke the matching /consider:{model-name} command. If no model was specified,
help the user choose by presenting the options below.
Available Models
Each model invokes as /consider:<model-name> — see the marketplace listing or plugins/consider/skills/ for the full set.
Usage
/consider:first-principles how to design a caching system
/consider:inversion how to make our product successful
/consider:pareto where to focus testing effort
If no model is specified, ask the user what they want to think through, then
suggest 2-3 models that would be most relevant to their problem.
Key Instructions
- When no model is specified and the user's problem is unclear, ask one clarifying question before suggesting models.
Anti-Pattern Guards
- Suggesting too many models — presenting more than 2–3 options when no model is specified overwhelms rather than guides; curate to the best fit.
- Routing non-analytical tasks here — this skill applies mental models, not implementation, debugging, or research; route those elsewhere.
Handoff
Chainable to: Any /consider:{model-name} sub-skill
