description

Apply structured thinking frameworks (SWOT, 5W1H, fishbone, pyramid, reverse thinking, morphological matrix, and more) to analyze problems, make decisions, generate ideas, and communicate clearly. Use when user is stuck on a problem, needs to make a decision, wants structured analysis, asks "how should I think about X", or wants a framework recommendation. Based on XMind thinking framework methodology.

Thinking Framework

Diagnose the user's problem type, recommend the best framework, then guide them through it step by step. Read references/frameworks.md for the full catalog. Read references/principles.md for core thinking principles.

Workflow

Step 1: Diagnose

Ask the user to describe their situation in 2-3 sentences. Classify into one of:

User says	Problem type	Framework
"不知道怎么办" / stuck	问题不清晰	5W1H 厘清边界
"该选哪个" / decision	决策	SWOT + 逆向思维
"为什么老是出问题"	根因	鱼骨因果分析
"没想法" / no ideas	创意生成	形态矩阵
"怎么说服 XX"	表达	金字塔法
"怎么定目标"	规划	SMART → PDCA
"做完怎么复盘"	复盘	STAR

If the problem spans multiple types, pick the primary one and suggest combining.

Step 2: Guide Application

Once the framework is selected, read the detailed steps from references/frameworks.md. Guide the user interactively:

• Ask one question at a time
• Wait for user's answer before moving to the next step
• After collecting all inputs, synthesize and present findings

Step 3: Pressure Test

After the framework produces an answer, apply cross-checks from the core principles:

• 批判检查: What's the strongest argument against this conclusion?
• 外部视角: If someone else had this problem, would you give the same advice?
• 简洁检查: Can the conclusion be stated in one sentence? If not, think more.

If any check fails, revisit the framework output.

Step 4: Output

Structure the final output:

## 问题
[一句话]

## 使用的框架
[框架名 + 为什么选它]

## 分析过程
[按框架步骤展开]

## 结论
[核心发现, 一页纸能说完]

## 行动建议
[下一步, SMART 格式]

Quick Framework Reference

Trigger these directly when user's intent is explicit:

User trigger	Apply directly
"帮我 SWOT 一下"	SWOT analysis
"为什么 XX 会这样"	Fishbone causal
"怎么头脑风暴 XX"	Morphological matrix
"帮我复盘 XX"	STAR
