rethink
From the author
Use when options, a recommendation, or an already-chosen approach are on the table and the reasoning under them has not been independently checked — especially when the case rests on cited documentation, remembered behavior, or premises nobody verified. Not for generating alternatives, and not for critiquing a spec, which is the pushback skill.

Similar skills
Closest to this one by what they do and when they are used.
- pushbackOvid/paadUse when reviewing a spec, PRD, requirements doc, or design plan before implementation begins — especially when the doc feels too big, bundles unrelated features, may contradict the current codebase, or seems vague, infeasible, or thin on security and error handling. Not for cross-checking a spec against a plan — that's the alignment skill.Security★ 142
- thinking-circle-of-competencetjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skillsUse when a specific claim may lack grounding. Check evidence boundary, size wrongness cost, then answer, fetch, or abstain — never confabulate.Planning★ 1.7K
- rollbacksuboss87/FDEOpsPrepare and rehearse a recovery path for an intended release. Use when rollback is assumed, untested or previously failed; follow the environment authority for any drill.Other★ 941
- ultra-thinkcoco-research/cocoUse when facing architectural decisions, complex trade-offs, strategic technology choices, or scaling and migration questions that deserve more than a quick answer. Lays out options with trade-offs, then a recommendation.Planning★ 784
- discussavibebuilder/claude-primeBrainstorms and debates approaches, then drives toward an actionable decision. Use whenever someone needs a thinking partner for a decision they're facing: 'discuss', 'debate', 'brainstorm', 'weigh options', 'tradeoffs', 'should I do X or Y', 'help me decide', 'I'm torn between', 'sanity check my thinking', or 'what do you think about'. The user must be asking for help reasoning through a choice — not asking to build, fix, evaluate, plan, or modify something (even if the topic involves this skill itself). Picks the right decision lens, surfaces tradeoffs and blind spots, pushes back when reasoning is genuinely weak, and never implements.Planning★ 120
- thinktw93/WazaTurns rough ideas into approved, decision-complete plans before coding. Use when planning architecture, judging whether to build, or writing a handoff. Not for bug fixes or small edits.Writing★ 7.4K
