What mental models does the 'consider' skill support?

It supports a wide range of frameworks including 5-Whys, First Principles, Inversion, Occam's Razor, Eisenhower Matrix, Pareto Principle, Second-Order Thinking, SWOT, and Theory of Constraints.

How does the skill gather information for its analysis?

The skill coordinates subagents to perform local codebase exploration (logs, docs, git history), web research (market data, benchmarks), and targeted user questioning.

Can this skill remember my previous decisions?

Yes, if MCP memory tools are available, the skill searches prior analyses to identify recurring insights, previous root causes, and successful strategies.

When is the best time to use the /consider command?

Use it whenever you face a 'what if' scenario, need to choose between multiple technical paths, or need to understand the root cause of a complex systemic issue.

Productivity & Workflow

Applies proven mental models to analyze complex problems, evaluate trade-offs, and facilitate structured decision-making.

The Consider skill empowers Claude to move beyond simple responses by employing a library of professional mental frameworks such as First Principles, Inversion, and Second-Order Thinking. It automatically classifies incoming problems—ranging from root-cause diagnosis to strategic prioritization—and coordinates information gathering across local codebases, web research, and user input. By integrating with MCP memory, the skill can recall prior contexts and recurring patterns, ensuring that every analysis is data-driven, systematic, and builds upon previous insights for high-leverage results.
