deep-cognition

name	deep-cognition
description	Extended cognitive analysis combining multiple reasoning frameworks. Use when /think-deeper is invoked, when strategic analysis yields conflicting signals, when the problem has ethical or philosophical dimensions, when team dynamics are central, or when the user asks for "multiple perspectives", "deeper analysis", "six hats", "cognitive levels", "bridges", "ibn khaldun", or "wisdom perspective."

Deep Cognition Framework

Layers four extended reasoning frameworks on top of the core 5-lens analysis. Ultrathink when applying this framework.

Framework Selection

Flag	Framework	Best for
--hats	De Bono Six Thinking Hats	Team decisions, stakeholder conflict, separating emotion from data
--levels	Islamic Epistemology Levels	Assessing whether team truly understands before changing
--bridges	Classical Wisdom Synthesis	Finding timeless principles beneath trendy tools
--ibn-khaldun	Ibn Khaldun Muqaddimah	Team cohesion, organizational decay, readiness assessment

Combined Deep Analysis Protocol

1. Run the 5-lens strategic analysis (or summarize if already done)
2. Select frameworks based on problem nature and flags
3. Apply selected frameworks, noting convergences AND tensions
4. Produce Deep Cognition Synthesis

## Deep Cognition Report

### Core Strategic Analysis Summary
[Key findings from 5 lenses]

### Extended Framework Insights
#### [Framework Name]
- Key insight: [What this perspective uniquely revealed]
- Tension with core analysis: [Where it agrees / disagrees]

### Integration
- CONVERGENCE: [Where all frameworks agree — high confidence]
- TENSION: [Where frameworks disagree — requires judgment]  
- BLIND SPOTS: [What none of the frameworks addressed]

### Final Recommendation
- DECISION: [Clear position]
- WISDOM NOTE: [Deeper insight beyond the immediate technical question]
- HUMILITY CHECK: [What we still do not know]

Depth Calibration

• Quick mode: One framework, 2–3 paragraphs. Medium-stakes decisions.
• Standard mode: Two frameworks, full treatment. Significant decisions.
• Deep mode: All frameworks with full synthesis. Defining decisions. Use sparingly.
