What does the /rethink command actually do?

It analyzes your stored observations and tensions to identify where your system's behavior differs from your stated goals, then helps you update your rules or notes accordingly.

Can I run specific parts of the rethink process?

Yes, you can target specific phases by passing arguments like 'triage' to process observations, 'patterns' to analyze evidence, or 'drift' to check system alignment.

How does this skill help with 'system drift'?

It compares your current configuration files against your methodology notes to find staleness, coverage gaps, or contradictions, ensuring your AI assistant stays aligned with your preferences.

Do I have to approve every change the skill makes?

Yes, the skill is designed with an interactive triage phase where it presents proposed changes for your review before modifying any files or promoting notes.

What happens to my observations during a rethink?

Observations are classified into one of five categories: Promoted to permanent notes, Implemented as system changes, added to Methodology, Archived, or kept Pending for more evidence.

生産性とワークフロー

Challenges system assumptions and triages observations to evolve individualized knowledge systems through evidence-based analysis.

The rethink skill acts as the immune system for your Claude Code knowledge base, preventing the calcification of workflows and rules over time. It implements a rigorous multi-phase workflow—including drift checks, evidence triage, and pattern detection—to ensure your system's methodology aligns with actual usage data. By processing friction points (observations) and conflicts (tensions), it transforms fleeting insights into permanent notes or system-level improvements, applying the scientific method to personal knowledge management and automated workflows.
