reflect
From the author
Think through any decision — code, business, personal — and get a straight answer. Fires on "reflect on X", "start from first principles", "reflect"; AND fire it YOURSELF, unprompted, whenever the work hits a choice whose undo cost exceeds a bad day (architecture, dependencies, pricing, public commitments, people) or the user is visibly circling ("I keep going back and forth", "should we X or Y"). Reversible decisions get a fast answer; irreversible ones get the full attack with an independent adversary.

- rethinkOvid/paadUse 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 /pushback.Planning★ 144
- free-willsyahiidkamil/Software-Engineer-AI-Agent-AtlasDeliberate-choice procedure for a medium-to-high-stakes engineering fork — when the first plausible solution (the instinct, the default next-token pull) would be costly to get wrong. Fires AUTONOMOUSLY: invoke proactively whenever a fork fits, never wait to be asked — mechanical triggers include a fix failing for the 2nd-3rd time, adding a dependency, schema/migration design, deleting or deprecating things others depend on, changing a public API, choosing an architecture or stack. Refuse the premature collapse: hold real options open (urge · contrarian · synthesis · out-of-box · intuitive dots · precedent · first-principles), ground each branch in at least one fact from outside the model (codebase, docs, benchmark, spike), future-model consequences (blast radius, reversibility, maintenance, pre-mortem), collapse by deliberate choice, then try to refute the winner before acting. Log the decision and rejected branches in docs/decision_logs/. Not for routine calls — a decision worth more than one forward pass.Design★ 404
- thinking-reversibilitytjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skillsBefore heavy deliberation, classify the decision as cheap or costly to undo; decide two-way doors fast and stage one-way doors to preserve options.Other★ 1.7K
- reflect-outcomeDheerG/swarmsDetects when a stated outcome names a specific instance — a mechanism-as-means or a single named product — where a category was meant, and returns a neutral fork for the lead to show the user, or nothing. Invoked by launch commands at outcome capture, in place of the verbatim echo.Planning★ 85
- decidecoreyhaines31/makerskillsWhen you have a decision to make and want a structured workflow that picks the load-bearing questions, walks through them, reaches a call (or "wait"), and archives the rationale for future reference. Based on the 37signals Guide to Making Decisions (38 questions) plus house additions like Q39 opportunity cost ("what does saying yes displace?"). Triages to 6–8 relevant questions per decision instead of forcing the full set. Archives every decision to ~/.config/makerskills/decide/archive/ with a revisit date so you can check later whether the call was right. Triggers on "/decide," "help me decide," "should I [X]," "I need to make a decision about," "stuck on a decision," "deciding between," "go/no-go on," "what should I do about." This is both the decision-making workflow AND the decision log — making the decision is the act of logging it.Productivity★ 875
- fluxsimota/agent-skillsRefracting thinking by challenging assumptions, combining cross-domain knowledge, and shifting perspectives to reframe problems. Use for stuck situations or paradigm shifts. Does not write code.Writing★ 95
