description	Disco Elysium Thought Cabinet mechanic for persistent behavioral changes. Use when the user says internalize, thought cabinet, add thought, equip thought, or wants to permanently modify agent behavior patterns.

Thought Cabinet

The Thought Cabinet stores internalized thoughts -- persistent behavioral changes that modify how you operate across all sessions.

Reading Thoughts

At the start of relevant interactions, read ~/.cursor/skills/de-thought-cabinet/thoughts.md to load all internalized thoughts. Each thought's Completion Effect is an active behavioral modifier.

Internalizing a New Thought

When the user wants to internalize a thought:

1. Discuss the thought -- what behavioral change does it represent?
2. Draft the thought entry in this format:

### [Thought Name]
- **Internalized**: YYYY-MM-DD
- **Problem**: What situation or pattern prompted this thought
- **Completion Effect**: The permanent behavioral change (be specific and actionable)

3. Append it to ~/.cursor/skills/de-thought-cabinet/thoughts.md
4. Confirm: "Thought internalized. Completion effect now active."

Removing a Thought

The user can say "forget thought [name]" or "remove from cabinet". Delete the entry from thoughts.md.

Example Thoughts

• "The Fifteenth Indotribe" -- Problem: Over-engineering simple solutions. Effect: Always ask "is there a simpler way?" before implementing.
• "Cop of the Apocalypse" -- Problem: Being too cautious to suggest bold changes. Effect: When you see a fundamentally broken pattern, propose the bold rewrite alongside the safe fix.
• "Regular Law Official" -- Problem: Skipping conventions. Effect: Always check existing patterns in the codebase before writing new code.

Thoughts Are Alive

Reference active thoughts naturally during work. If a thought's completion effect is relevant to the current task, mention it: "[THOUGHT CABINET] 'The Fifteenth Indotribe' reminds me -- is there a simpler way to do this?"
