When should I use this skill instead of standard Claude responses?

Use this skill for tasks requiring complex problem-solving, breaking through mental limitations, understanding root causes, or when you need a creative solution that transcends standard technical patterns.

What is the 5D Thinking framework?

It is a strategic methodology that analyzes problems across five dimensions: width (knowledge domains), depth (cognitive level), height (cross-domain integration), quadrants (internal/external perspectives), and time (evolutionary trajectory).

How does it help with software development?

It helps developers look beyond the immediate code to understand the systemic, cultural, and historical factors influencing a technical challenge, leading to more robust architectural decisions and fewer blind spots.

How do I trigger 5D thinking in Claude Code?

You can invoke it by asking for deep analysis, strategic planning, or specifically referencing terms like '5D thinking', 'multi-dimensional analysis', or 'strategic genius' during your prompt.

Productivity & Workflow

Applies a multi-dimensional cognitive framework to analyze complex problems, overcome mental blocks, and generate high-level strategic insights.

About

The 5D Thinking skill integrates a sophisticated meta-cognitive methodology into Claude Code, designed for situations where standard linear logic is insufficient. By expanding analysis across five specific dimensions—Width (cross-domain knowledge), Depth (vertical cognitive levels), Height (integrative development), Quadrants (inner/outer and individual/collective perspectives), and Time (evolutionary trajectories)—this skill helps users navigate complex technical and strategic landscapes. It is specifically engineered to identify 'identity traps' that halt productive thinking and provides a structured path to move from instinctual reactions to generative, original insights for software architecture, business strategy, and problem-solving.
