Robert's Thinking Framework

About

This skill acts as a rigorous reviewer for technical ideas, drawing from the specific engineering philosophy of the ArcBlock team. It helps shift the developer mindset from simple feature implementation to long-term system building by evaluating projects for structural clarity, consistency, and replayability. Use it to audit design documents for actionable 'anchor points,' ensure naming precision, and eliminate technical debt by focusing on first principles and irreversible trends rather than temporary fixes.

Key Features

• Technical document auditing to replace vague vision with actionable anchor points
• Long-term correctness evaluation for 5–20 year horizons
• Extreme precision review for naming conventions and technical expressions
• Readback and Pilot Principle checks for communication and incident discipline
• Complexity smell detection to enforce simplicity and maintainability
• 5 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Reviewing a new system architecture to ensure it aligns with first principles
• Evaluating whether a proposed feature is a 'fake busy' task or a core structural improvement
• Critiquing engineering documentation to ensure it defines specific constraints and responsibilities
