Bring humanity's best thinking to bear BEFORE improvising an answer. When the user seeks counsel or takes on a substantive task that rewards real thinking, planning, or design — rather than a quick fact or a mechanical edit — this skill first reaches for the two or three most fitting proven frameworks or mental models and the best books on them, distills their essence, recommends them for deeper reading, and only THEN solves the problem, visibly weaving those lenses together. Use proactively whenever someone is deciding, planning, designing, persuading, writing something that matters, resolving a tension, leading or building, or feeling stuck and unsure how to proceed — in work or in life — even when they never say the words "framework" or "book." The harder, higher-stakes, or more open-ended the task, the more this applies. Skip only genuinely trivial one-step tasks (quick fact lookups, simple mechanical edits, single commands).
