About this skill
What it does
This skill, "Thinking Tools," provides structured thinking patterns to guide an AI agent's reasoning and problem-solving process. It offers two specific frameworks – “Think About Collected Information” and “Think About Task Adherence” – designed to improve task quality and prevent common errors like incomplete research or scope creep. These patterns involve self-assessment questions and a decision-making step to ensure the agent stays on track.
When to use it
This skill is beneficial in these situations:
- After completing a sequence of searches, such as reading multiple files or exploring directory structures.
- Before making any code changes (insertions, replacements, deletions).
- When gathering requirements for a task.
- To ensure the agent's actions remain aligned with the original request and avoid unnecessary modifications.
Key capabilities
- Information Completeness Check: Evaluates if sufficient, relevant information has been gathered, identifies gaps in understanding, and assesses confidence levels.
- Task Adherence Check: Ensures planned code changes directly address the original task and avoids scope creep or unrelated improvements.
- Structured Self-Assessment Questions: Provides specific questions to guide reflection on collected information and alignment with the initial goal.
- Decision Framework: Offers clear decision options (Proceed, Gather More Information, Ask User) based on self-assessment results.
Example prompts
Here are some example prompts for an agent using this skill:
- "Before you make any code changes, run a 'Think About Task Adherence' check."
- "After reading these files, please perform an 'Information Completeness Check'."
- “What is the original task and how does your current action align with it?”
Tips & gotchas
- The skill is most effective when used proactively at key points during a task.
- Pay close attention to the "Scope Creep Warning Signs" within the “Task Adherence Check” to avoid drifting from the initial request.
- The self-assessment questions are designed to be thorough; taking the time to answer them carefully will improve the agent's performance.
