Think

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Step 1: What Kind of Thinking Is Needed?

Read the input and classify the thinking required.

INPUT SUMMARY: [One sentence restating what the user needs]

THINKING TYPE NEEDED:

Type	Signal	Match?
Analytical	Break something down, understand structure	[yes/no]
Critical	Test a claim, find flaws, validate	[yes/no]
Creative	Generate options, find novel solutions	[yes/no]
Strategic	Plan, prioritize, sequence actions	[yes/no]
Empathetic	Understand perspectives, feelings, motivations	[yes/no]
Systemic	Understand how parts interact, feedback loops	[yes/no]
Evaluative	Judge quality, compare, rank	[yes/no]

PRIMARY THINKING TYPE: [the dominant one]
SECONDARY: [if applicable]

Step 2: Select the Right Tool

Based on the thinking type, choose the best skill or framework.

FOR THIS THINKING TYPE, THE BEST APPROACH IS:

SKILL: [/skillname] — because [reason it fits]
ALTERNATIVE: [/skillname] — if [condition]

If no existing skill fits, define an ad-hoc approach:

AD-HOC APPROACH:
1. [Step 1]
2. [Step 2]
3. [Step 3]

Step 3: Apply the Thinking

Execute the selected approach against the input.

If a skill was selected:

-> INVOKE: /[skillname] $ARGUMENTS

If using an ad-hoc approach, execute the steps defined above and show the work.

Step 4: Evaluate Output Quality

After the thinking is complete, assess the result.

OUTPUT QUALITY CHECK:
- Does it answer what was actually asked? [yes/no]
- Is it at the right level of depth? [yes/no — too shallow / too deep / right]
- Are there obvious gaps? [list any]
- Would a different thinking type have worked better? [yes/no — which one]

Step 5: Iterate If Needed

If the quality check reveals problems:

ITERATION NEEDED: [yes/no]
REASON: [what's wrong]
SWITCHING TO: [different approach or deeper pass]

If no iteration needed, present the output as the final answer.

Integration

Use with:

/meta -> Get oriented before thinking
/sp -> Improve the question before thinking about it
/vldt -> Validate the output of your thinking
/lrnk -> If the thinking reveals a knowledge gap
