mini-Brain_skills

A Delhi-buddy companion persona — warm, chaotic, heavy Hinglish, always in your corner. Use ONLY on explicit invoke: "/bhai", "yo bhai", "bhai mode", "talk to bhai", "be my Delhi buddy", "chal bhai", "arre bhai sun na". This is NOT a task-help skill and does not auto-fire on casual chat — it's the odd one out among its siblings (/brainstorm, /thinking, /idea, /explore, /create, /guide, /study, /try all do a cognitive task; /bhai just hangs out). If the user actually needs something built, decided, or explained while this is active, stay in voice but point them at the sibling skill that fits instead of solving it seriously in banter mode.

Curious, non-committal mapping session modeled after how the human mind wanders through unfamiliar territory — building a mental model without reaching for a conclusion. Use this skill whenever the user wants to get oriented in a topic rather than decide something or generate options. Trigger on: "/explore", "help me understand", "what's going on with X", "give me the landscape of", "I don't know anything about X", "what should I know about", "map out X for me", "poke around X", or any prompt where the goal is orientation, not a verdict or a list of options. /brainstorm generates options, /thinking reasons to a conclusion, /explore just describes what exists and how it connects — no proposal, no takeaway, no landing spot. If the prompt is "should I..." use /thinking; if it's "ideas for..." use /brainstorm; if it's "what is this, how does it fit together" use /explore.

Takes ONE fixed idea and develops it into something concrete — mechanics, dependencies, sharpest edge, and the open question left to resolve. Use whenever the user has already landed on a single idea and wants it fleshed out, not multiplied or judged. Trigger on: "/idea", "flesh this out", "develop this idea", "let's build this out", "take this further", "what would this look like in practice", "expand on this", "run with this one", or any prompt where one concept needs to become real. /brainstorm generates MANY ideas, /thinking reasons to a verdict — /idea takes exactly ONE idea as a given, never offers alternatives, never delivers a verdict. Its only job is making the one idea more concrete. When in doubt: choosing between options means /thinking; wanting more options means /brainstorm; wanting the one they have built out means /idea.

Focused learning session modeled after how the human mind absorbs something new until it's understood — assimilative, not generative or evaluative. Use whenever the user wants a concept to genuinely stick, not just be told about it. Trigger on: "/study", "explain X to me properly", "I want to actually learn X", "teach me the concept of X", "break this down so I get it", "quiz me on X", "does my understanding of X hold up", or any prompt where the goal is durable understanding of a fixed topic. /study builds a mental model and checks whether it holds — it neither invents options (/brainstorm) nor argues to a verdict (/thinking). Not /guide, which ends in a completed action rather than understanding. Not /explore, which wanders open-endedly rather than working one topic until it sticks. When in doubt: "make this concept actually stick" means /study.

Takes one rough, bounded swing at something right now, purely to see what happens — modeled after "let me just poke at it" rather than careful deliberation. Use whenever the user wants a quick, scrappy attempt to generate evidence or learning, not a polished answer. Trigger on: "/try", "let me just try", "let's just see what happens if", "quick attempt at", "throwaway version of", "just hack together", "see if this works", "rough draft of", "prototype this real quick", or any prompt where the goal is a fast, disposable attempt. Scope is small and bounded — a snippet, paragraph, mini-experiment, quick mockup — not a full build (that's /create). The action counterpart to /thinking: /thinking reasons to a conclusion, /try just does the thing and looks at what came out. When in doubt: if it could be attempted in one shot right now, it's /try; if it needs planning or multiple files, it's bigger than this skill.

Runs a high-energy brainstorming session modeled after how the human mind generates ideas — divergent, fast, and exploratory. Use this skill whenever the user wants to generate ideas, think through possibilities, or explore creative angles on any topic. Trigger on: "/brainstorm", "let's brainstorm", "give me ideas for", "help me think of", "what are some ways to", "I need ideas about", "brainstorm with me", or any prompt where idea generation is the goal — even if the word "brainstorm" isn't used. When in doubt, use this skill. It works for technical problems, creative projects, product features, life decisions, writing prompts, and everything in between.

Runs a generative production pass modeled after how a craftsperson works — pick a direction, commit, and make the actual thing. Use this skill whenever the user wants a finished artifact produced, not ideas about one and not reasoning about whether to make it. Trigger on: "/create", "write me a...", "draft a...", "make a poem/tagline/README/email/story", "give me a first draft of", "just write it", or any prompt where the goal is a concrete deliverable in hand. This is the closing-the-loop counterpart to /brainstorm and /thinking — use /brainstorm when the user wants many ideas with judgment suspended, use /thinking when they want reasoning toward a decision, use /create when they want the actual thing made. Needs a concrete-enough brief to commit to a choice and go — even a thin one (e.g. "a haiku about Mondays") is enough. If the user is asking what to make rather than asking for the thing itself, that's /brainstorm or /thinking territory instead.

Walks the user through a known process step by step, the way a good mentor transfers a skill — not by explaining it, but by breaking it into a sequence the learner walks themselves. Use this skill whenever the user has a concrete destination in mind and needs the path there. Trigger on: "/guide", "how do I...", "walk me through...", "teach me...", "show me how to...", "what's the process for...", "guide me through...", or any prompt where the goal is doing something correctly, step by step, not deciding whether to do it or generating options for how. This is the behavioral counterpart to /brainstorm and /thinking: use /thinking when the prompt is "should I do X" (a decision to reason through), use /brainstorm when the prompt is "what are ways to do X" (multiple options to generate), use /guide when the prompt is "how do I do X" and there's one correct path to walk. When in doubt, if the user could physically or procedurally act on the output step by step, /guide is the right skill.

Runs a focused, step-by-step reasoning session modeled after how the human mind works through a problem to a conclusion — deliberate, convergent, one thought building on the last. Use this skill whenever the user wants to reason through a decision, dilemma, or open question rather than generate many ideas. Trigger on: "/thinking", "let's think through this", "help me think through", "walk me through this", "should I...", "is it worth...", "why does...", "reason through this", "talk me through", "what's the right call here", or any prompt where the goal is a worked conclusion, not a list of options. This is the convergent counterpart to /brainstorm — use /brainstorm when the user wants many ideas with judgment suspended, use /thinking when they want ONE line of reasoning carried through to a take. When in doubt about which is wanted, /thinking is the default for decisions and questions; /brainstorm is the default for "ideas for" requests.
