Use when you need to think through a complex problem systematically — generating ideas, stress-testing them, and converging on a decision. Triggers on: "think workflow", "깊이 있게 생각해보자", "아이디어를 체계적으로 검토", structured thinking", "체계적 사고 프로세스", "idea to
4-step structured thinking process: diverge → decompose → challenge → converge.
| Use | Skip |
|---|---|
| Complex decision with multiple viable paths | Simple factual question |
| Problem needs reframing before solving | Already know what to do |
| Ideas exist but lack rigorous validation | Time-boxed quick answer needed |
[1] Diverge — Brainstorming
↓
[2] Decompose — First Principles
↓
[3] Challenge — Devil's Advocate
↓
[4] Converge — Decision Framework
Skill: brainstorming
Goal: Generate maximum breadth of ideas — no filtering yet
Output: 10-20 raw ideas, grouped by theme
Skip if: Ideas already exist, just need evaluation
"Step 1 시작" 또는 "아이디어 발산부터 해줘"
Skill: first-principles
Goal: Break the problem to its fundamentals, question every assumption
Input: Top ideas from Step 1 (or the core question directly)
Output: Root causes, broken-down components, assumption list
Skip if: Problem scope is already well-defined
"Step 2 시작" 또는 "first principles로 분해해줘"
Skill: devils-advocate
Goal: Steel-man the strongest objections — expose where the idea breaks
Input: Best idea(s) from Steps 1-2
Output: 3 strongest counterarguments + core vulnerability + optional fix paths
Skip if: Decision is low-stakes or reversible
"Step 3 시작" 또는 "devil's advocate 돌려줘"
Skill: decision-maker
Goal: Converge — evaluate options with criteria, make a recommendation
Input: Ideas, decomposition, and counterarguments from Steps 1-3
Output: Decision matrix, weighted recommendation, confidence level
Skip if: Only one viable option remains after Step 3
"Step 4 시작" 또는 "decision framework으로 정리해줘"
어느 단계에 있는지 알려주면 바로 합류합니다:
| Claude | You |
|---|---|
| Idea generation, framing, synthesis | Define the core question |
| Assumption breakdown, reframing | Validate assumptions against real context |
| Counterargument generation | Add domain knowledge I don't have |
| Decision matrix scoring | Make the final call |
