stnl-standalone-skill-design

Guides the design of a skill that works independently with no dependencies on other skills. Ensures the skill is self-contained, well-scoped, and useful in isolation.

strt-where-to-start

For when you have a goal but genuinely don't know where to begin. Find the zero-dependency starting point and take it.

sycs-so-you-can-see

Expand implications of a statement so the hidden conclusions are explicit, ordered by depth, and flagged by impact and testability.

sym

Real problems exist in complex systems with many interacting parts. Comprehensive system modeling ontology.

sysk-systems-analysis

Analyze any system by mapping components, connections, feedback loops, leverage points, and emergent behaviors.

systhink-systems-thinking

Analyze feedback loops, emergent behavior, system dynamics, stocks and flows, and leverage points. See the system, not just the parts.

tbd-to-be-determined

Identify unresolved decisions in any plan, document, or conversation, and convert each into an explicit determination question with type, owner, deadline, and cost of remaining unresolved.

td-temporal-deadline-orderings

Orderings driven by temporal constraints, deadlines, and timing requirements.

teach-feynman-explanation

Explains any concept so that someone can actually understand it. Uses the Feynman technique — simple words, clear structure, no hiding behind jargon.

technical-domain-specific-routing

Sub-orchestrator for domain-specific questions. Routes to specialized skills based on domain and task type.

tfac-team-facilitation

Design and run effective group sessions that produce clear outcomes, manage group dynamics, and keep participants engaged.

thnk-think

Meta-skill for choosing the right thinking approach. Identifies what type of thinking is needed, selects the appropriate framework, applies it, and evaluates output quality.

tkint-toolkit-integrity-analysis

Assess structural integrity of a collection, system, or toolkit. Finds broken references, orphans, circular dependencies, and naming inconsistencies.

tmsk-team-analysis

Analyzes something from the team perspective. Identifies composition, roles, communication patterns, coordination costs, and collaboration synergies.

tnt

Specific, tested tactics for navigating the most common value tensions and conflicts.

to-topological-ordering

Generate valid execution sequences from dependencies. Respects hard constraints, optimizes for priorities, and identifies parallel execution opportunities.

tobd-to-be-determined-operational

Sequence unresolved TBDs by dependency and impact for operational resolution, identifying parallel tracks, blockers, and the critical resolution path.

tp

Arguments form dependency graphs. When any assumption's truth value changes, propagate through all dependent conclusions.

tr-template-registry

Registry for domain templates. Store, retrieve, search, and manage domain-specific configurations.

tri-triage

Rapidly sorts multiple problems, tasks, or issues by urgency and importance into a priority matrix with a ranked action list.

trust-trust-analysis

Assess trust dynamics — who trusts whom, on what dimensions (competence, integrity, benevolence), what would build or erode trust, and how trust asymmetries create organizational dysfunction.

u-universalize

Universalize - Extract the complete space of assumptions, dimensions, and alternatives from any claim. Map before you judge. Track every finding.

uaua-universalize-araw-universalize-araw

UAUA Combined Exploration - Universalize, ARAW, loop, synthesize. Map possibilities with numbered findings, test rigorously with numbered claims, compile a complete registry, derive synthesis only from the registry.

uf-useful-for

Given a skill or method, map its best-fit use cases, failure conditions, limits, and alternative skills with explicit switch conditions.

uga-universal-goal-analysis-consolidated

The comprehensive question framework v5 — adds operational, meta-cognitive, and quality categories. Consolidated from ugav2-v5.

ugav2-universal-goal-analysis-v2-actionable-questions

Goal analysis focused on generating fact-yielding questions. Each question must produce a testable fact, not a vague reflection. Consolidated into /uga but usable standalone for question-focused goal analysis.

ugav3-universal-goal-analysis-v3-decomposed-sub-procedures

Goal analysis with fully decomposed sub-procedures. Every analysis step is broken into atomic operations that can be followed mechanically. Consolidated into /uga but usable standalone for procedural goal decomposition.

ugav4-universal-goal-analysis-v4-leverage-communication

Goal analysis emphasizing leverage identification and stakeholder communication. Finds where small effort produces big results and maps who needs to know what. Consolidated into /uga but usable standalone.

ugav5-universal-goal-analysis-v5-operational-meta-cognitive

Goal analysis adding operational load assessment, meta-cognitive sustainability, and quality validation categories. Catches goals that are analytically sound but operationally unsustainable. Consolidated into /uga but usable standalone.

undr-under-represented-analysis

Analyzes an under-served area to determine what it needs. Assesses current coverage, identifies gaps relative to demand, and recommends build order.

unstk-get-unstuck

Diagnose why you're blocked and get concrete unblocking actions based on the type of block: information gap, decision paralysis, emotional block, skill gap, or wrong approach.

unsure-not-sure-about-this

For mild uncertainty — you have a direction but aren't confident. A decision tree to move from hesitation to action or justified pause.

unvs-universal-applicability-analysis

Tests whether a claim, principle, or method works across all contexts. Finds the true scope of applicability and states boundary conditions.

unx-unexpected-non-obvious-solution-discovery

Find non-obvious solutions. Three layers — obvious, unexpected, reframed — using disruption techniques that force the search off its default path.

uo

Every output must be unassailable. Nothing wrong with form, content, length, logic, precision, completeness, or necessity.

upth-unproceduralized-thinking

Identify cognitive operations that don't have explicit procedures yet. Observes thinking processes, surfaces implicit steps and tacit knowledge, formalizes them into explicit procedures, tests, and refines.

usnd-user-need-discovery

Discover what users actually need versus what they say they need. Observes behavior, identifies pain points, maps workarounds, traces root desires, validates with evidence, and outputs a need hierarchy.

usrn-user-need-reasoning

Reason about what someone actually needs based on what they said. Surfaces underlying needs, unstated constraints, and what would truly satisfy the request.

utp-utopia-analysis

Systematically construct and examine the best possible outcome — what would ideal actually look like, and what would it take to get there?

va

For any obvious strategy, ask what if we did the exact opposite. Counters the tendency to accept first-good-enough answers.
