Shannon Thinking
Guides systematic problem-solving by implementing Claude Shannon's methodology of problem definition, modeling, and validation.
About
The Shannon Thinking tool implements Claude Shannon's systematic problem-solving methodology as an MCP server. It helps break down complex problems into structured thoughts following Shannon's approach of problem definition, constraints identification, mathematical modeling, proof/validation, and practical implementation. This tool guides users through these stages, supporting iterative refinement, dependency tracking, assumption management, and confidence level assessment to arrive at well-reasoned solutions.
Key Features
- Supports iterative problem-solving with revisions and rechecks.
- Combines formal proofs with experimental validation.
- Tracks dependencies between thoughts explicitly.
- Manages assumptions clearly.
- Quantifies uncertainty with confidence levels.
Use Cases
- Complex system analysis
- Engineering design challenges
- Optimization problems
