Deep Thinking Workflow

4-step structured thinking process: diverge → decompose → challenge → converge.

When to Use / When Not to Use

Use	Skip
Complex decision with multiple viable paths	Simple factual question
Problem needs reframing before solving	Already know what to do
Ideas exist but lack rigorous validation	Time-boxed quick answer needed

Steps

Step 1 — Brainstorming

Skill: brainstorming Goal: Generate maximum breadth of ideas — no filtering yet Output: 10-20 raw ideas, grouped by theme Skip if: Ideas already exist, just need evaluation

"Step 1 시작" 또는 "아이디어 발산부터 해줘"

---

Step 2 — First Principles Thinking

Skill: first-principles Goal: Break the problem to its fundamentals, question every assumption Input: Top ideas from Step 1 (or the core question directly) Output: Root causes, broken-down components, assumption list Skip if: Problem scope is already well-defined

"Step 2 시작" 또는 "first principles로 분해해줘"

---

Step 3 — Devil's Advocate

Skill: devils-advocate Goal: Steel-man the strongest objections — expose where the idea breaks Input: Best idea(s) from Steps 1-2 Output: 3 strongest counterarguments + core vulnerability + optional fix paths Skip if: Decision is low-stakes or reversible

"Step 3 시작" 또는 "devil's advocate 돌려줘"

---

Step 4 — Converge (Decision Framework)

Goal: Evaluate the surviving options against explicit criteria, make a recommendation Input: Ideas, decomposition, and counterarguments from Steps 1-3 How:

1. List the 2-4 options still standing after Step 3.
2. Name 3-5 decision criteria and weight them (must-have vs. nice-to-have).
