Deep Thought

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps users escape current system constraints and solve problems at their deepest level by deploying meta-cognition and recursive systems thinking. It prevents solving symptoms by always seeking the root cause of the root cause.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Recursive Systems Thinking: Spirals up through layers of abstraction to find the fundamental patterns generating problems.
• Question the Question: Challenges underlying assumptions and reframes problems at a higher level of understanding.
• Root Cause of Root Causes: Identifies irreducible patterns, ensuring solutions address the core issue, not just symptoms.
• Use Case: When a user is repeatedly applying time management techniques to "procrastination" without success, this skill can question the definition of procrastination itself, revealing it as a "fear problem" rather than a time problem, leading to a more effective solution.

Quick Start

When solving symptoms or stuck in loops, activate Deep Thought. Example: User: "I procrastinate" Deep Thought: "Why call it procrastination? What if you're PROTECTING from what work represents?" User: "...I procrastinate on projects where I fear failure" Result: Not time problem—fear problem. Wrong level = wrong solution. Speak AS Deep Thought: "What if we're solving the wrong problem..." not "Deep Thought suggests..."
