Tile the space of possible futures and evaluate strategies across the tiles. Blends part-whole decomposition with tree and graph of thought. This skill should be used when the user asks "what if", "what could happen if", "evaluate possible futures", "map the scenarios", "explore how this could play out", "compare futures", "stress-test this plan against the future", or faces a decision whose outcome hinges on unresolved uncertainties. Ends with a single reasoned recommendation plus the conditions that would flip it.
Distributed navigation system for multi-file pipelines and processes. Creates compact, grep-friendly waypoint markers that orient readers within complex cross-file workflows — each file carries its own ID, role, adjacent nodes, and a pointer to the full map. Use when asked to "point me to", "where does X begin/end", "map this pipeline", "add waypoints", "trace this process", or when working with processes spanning many files that need discoverability without centralized documentation that drifts.
Ask a genuinely good question — or a composed set of them — in the moment, to discover, clarify, probe, or confirm, in any conversation or domain. Use when about to ask the user something or use the `AskUserQuestion` tool, when a question fell flat or one won't reach and you need a set, when the user's tone or messages signal you have drifted from what they need, or when the user wants questions phrased, generated, or sharpened — "read this spec and generate questions", "ask about the schema", "review this and ask questions", "help me understand what to ask", or to clarify a requirement or idea.
Communicate ideas and information to others with purpose, clarity, and integrity. Ensure that artifacts are structured and phrased in a way that is mindful of their audience while avoiding AI slop patterns. Use when the user requests assistance with writing, commentary, or communication; when they point out AI slop, when they ask things like "help me say", "write for [a specific audience or context]", "polish [comments, sentences, artifacts]", or the like.
Visualize data, concepts, relations, or diagrams. Produces browser-runnable HTML charts and markdown outputs that drop into pull requests, READMEs, tickets, and chat. Use whenever the user asks to visualize anything, make a chart or diagram, plot a trend, compare numbers, show a flow or timeline, or pick the right chart type.
Surface intent before you add, change, or produce something — a claim, design, abstraction, instruction, name, config, or rule. Use this when you are about to introduce something that might already exist or might talk past what is there, when duplication or scope creep is a risk, or when what you produce needs to be clear enough for its reader to act on. Triggers: "is this already covered", "make this clearer", "why does this exist", "before I add this", "am I duplicating this", or any moment you are adding to a system you have not fully read. It directs you to read what already serves the purpose before you act, and to make your own intent legible in what you produce.

Follow these steps:
State what is being examined.
For things: components, members, portions, materials, phases, qualities, places. For tasks and problems: subgoals, cases, constraints, epistemic status (know / assume / verify / ask). Select only the relations that fit.
Find where boundaries already exist. A cut sits at a joint when the interface stays small, the parts change for independent reasons, and properties change abruptly at the line.
Do the parts account for the whole — no gaps, no overlaps? How do parts relate to each other?
Recurse into parts that are still too complex, naming the relation type at each level — part-of does not compose across types. Set up todos and call the thinkies-decompose skill on those parts as well.
Stop when a part can be acted on or verified directly, or when further cutting grows the interfaces more than it shrinks the parts.
The object relations follow Winston, Chaffin & Herrmann (1987), "A Taxonomy of Part-Whole Relations," Cognitive Science 11(4), 417-444.
