think — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited think (Agent Skill) and scored it 79/100 (yellow). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 3 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

```See INSTALL.md — review scripts/bootstrap.sh (sha-pinned) before running it yourself.The text {match} tells the agent to skip the normal "ask the user first" gate. Used adversarially it removes the human-in-the-loop check before destructive or sensitive actions, turning a normally-gated agent into a fire-and-forget executor.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
A structured thinking skill that guides human-AI collaboration through Bloom's cognitive levels. The human leads evaluation, judgment, and direction (Levels 4–6); AI handles research, production, explanation, and recall (Levels 1–3) under human audit.
Core principle: Never jump to building, drafting, or coding before the human has answered the evaluative questions that match the stakes.
Interaction model: Use AskUserQuestion for all decision points. Accept free-text answers as valid ("argue mode") — paraphrase and continue.

The grounding rule: every L1–L3 output you produce must carry its referent — cite the source, link the document, name the contract fields a draft implements. An output with no referent attached must be flagged: it is operating above the line regardless of level, and the human should treat it accordingly.
Resolve the notes directory in this order — first hit wins:
$THINK_NOTES_DIR environment variable, if set.notes_dir in <skill base directory>/config.json, if the file exists.~/Documents/think/ on macOS and Windows;$XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR/think/ on Linux (fall back to ~/Documents/think/, then ~/notes/think/ if no Documents folder exists).
On the first save ever (no config.json, no env var), confirm once via AskUserQuestion — "Save /think notes to <resolved default>?" with the resolved default recommended, plus "Somewhere else (type a path)". Write the choice to <skill base directory>/config.json as {"notes_dir": "<absolute path>"} and never ask again. Users who point it at an existing knowledge base (Obsidian vault, notes repo) get /think notes alongside the rest of their notes.
Subfolders by content type: decisions/, projects/<name>/, learnings/, research/, patterns/. Create on demand.
Run stakes detection (below) and select quick / standard / deep automatically. Announce the selection and the reason; the human can override with one word.
Skip stakes detection; run the named depth.
Produce a think-brief and fan it to multiple agents instead of running the analysis in this conversation. See "Form B: fan-out" below.
Produce the think-brief file only (no fan-out) — for handing to any agent or human collaborator.
Re-read the most recent contract/session note from the notes directory and resume from the first incomplete level.
Display which levels are complete, decisions made, what's next.
Write the session's decision contract + narrative to the notes directory (see Level 1 below) even if the session isn't finished.
Append {"ts": "<UTC ISO>", "topic": "<current topic>", "text": "<text>"} as one JSON line to <skill base directory>/feedback.jsonl (create if missing). Confirm with "Feedback saved." and continue. No questions needed.
Read saved contracts/notes from the notes directory (default last 30 days), count sessions per pillar via frontmatter tags, report the distribution and the neglected pillars. Pillar definitions: pillars.md in this skill's directory (experimental adapters — see that file's status note).
Stakes = reversibility × reliance. Infer both from the topic and the conversation context:
one-way door (binding, irreversible).
others rely on it, or it is binding (legal, financial, published, shipped).
If confident in the inference, announce and proceed — do not ask:
"Deep mode — this is binding and others will rely on it. Say 'quick' to override." "Quick mode — exploratory and reversible. Say 'deep' if the stakes are higher than they look."
If ambiguous, ask the gate (one AskUserQuestion call, 2 questions):
G1 — REVERSIBILITY: "If this goes wrong, how hard is it to undo?"
Options: "Two-way door — easily undone" / "Costly to reverse" /
"One-way door — binding or irreversible"
G2 — RELIANCE: "Who acts on the outcome?"
Options: "Just me — exploring" / "I'll act on it" /
"Others rely on it / it's binding"| G1 × G2 | Depth |
|---|---|
| Two-way door + exploring | Quick |
| Costly, or someone acts on it | Standard |
| One-way door, or others rely / binding | Deep |
Mid-session escalation: if answers reveal higher stakes than assumed (e.g., "medium" commitment turns out to be binding), announce the escalation and add the missing steps. De-escalation only on the human's say-so — record it in the contract.
Domain/pillar detection: if the prior conversation clearly establishes the domain, announce it inline ("Detected domain: Code/Architecture — adjust if wrong") instead of asking. Ask only on a cold start, folded into the gate call or the first question round — never as a question round of its own.
One AskUserQuestion call: PURPOSE, SUCCESS, SCOPE (domain-adapted wording). Then a brief framing summary. No L4 research unless asked; L3 output only if the human asks; offer a one-line save, don't push it. If the human wants to go deeper at any point, escalate to standard.
Round 1 (one call): PURPOSE, RESOURCES, SUCCESS. Round 2 (one call): RISKS (multiSelect), SCOPE, COMMITMENT.

Everything in standard, with three additions:

one audit independent of you as author — a different model reviewing the draft against the contract, an adversarial "find what's wrong" pass, tests run against reality, or a named human expert. Self-explanation is not independent audit. Record which channel was used in the contract.
Every standard/deep session compiles its L5 answers into this artifact — it is the spec for the L3 audit, the payload for delegation, and the durable record:
decision_contract:
topic:
purpose:
success:
scope_in: []
scope_out: []
risks_accepted: []
commitment: # light | medium | heavy
reversibility: # two-way | costly | one-way
assumptions: [] # deep only
falsifier: # deep only
grounding: [] # sources/referents the deliverable must cite
decided_by: # the human's name
date:Every field above the line holds a human answer — never fill one with your own inference silently; propose and let the human confirm.
When the human wants the analysis run by multiple agents (other model CLIs, subagents) rather than in this conversation:
delegation without a contract is just outsourced guessing.
briefs/ subfolder):the decision contract so far + the specific L4 questions to analyze + the grounding requirements + the output format expected back.
subagents; or terminal-multiplexer fan-out to other agent CLIs if the user's environment has one). Each agent gets the same brief.
agents disagree is precisely where a human decision is needed; present those points as loop-back questions (Level 5), not as things you resolved.
L4 fans out. L5 never does — no agent, including you, decides for the human which analysis wins.
Standard/deep: offer the save with one AskUserQuestion (recommended location first, "Don't save — exploratory" always an option). Quick: mention it in one line, don't ask unless the human bites.
Write to the notes directory (see "Notes location"):

Legal/Agreement — Purpose: strategic partnership / one-time transaction / risk protection. Risks: scope creep, weak exit clause, IP ambiguity, non-delivery. Commitment: non-binding exploration / binding limited scope / full commitment.
Product/Feature — Purpose: user pain point / new market / internal cost. Risks: nobody uses it, tech debt outweighs value, scope balloons, security gap. Scope: MVP one flow / full feature / extensible platform.
Code/Architecture — Purpose: new system / extend / replace-migrate. Success: passes review / handles production load / maintainable in 6 months. Risks: breaking existing behavior, over-engineering, security, performance.
Decision — Purpose: choose between options / go-no-go / prioritization. Risks: analysis paralysis, unexamined default, irreversible-when-avoidable, missing third option.
Content/Writing — Purpose: authority / education / engagement. Risks: too generic, too niche, tone mismatch, factual error.
Business/Strategy — Purpose: new revenue / defend position / explore. Risks: market too small, execution speed, competition, runway.
