# Advanced Elicitation ## Overview Meta-cognitive reasoning applied to AI outputs. Makes AI reconsider its own work through 15+ systematic methods. **Core Principle**: First-pass responses are often good but not great. Elicitation forces deeper thinking. ## When to Use **Use when:** - Making important decisions (architecture, security, major features) - Solving complex problems (multiple stakeholders, unclear requirements) - Producing critical outputs (specs, plans, designs) - Quality matters more than speed **Don't use when:** - Simple queries ("What is X?") - Routine tasks (formatting, simple refactoring) - Time-sensitive (emergency fixes) - Budget-constrained (2x cost) ## How It Works 1. **Generate Initial Response**: Agent produces first-pass answer 2. **Apply Elicitation Method**: Pick 1-3 methods based on context 3. **Reconsider**: Agent re-evaluates using method 4. **Synthesize**: Combine insights, produce improved output ## Elicitation Methods ### 1. First Principles Thinking **Description**: Break down to fundamental truths, rebuild reasoning from ground up **When to Use**: - Complex system design - Architecture decisions - Innovation challenges **Prompt Template**: ``` Yo

What does the advanced-elicitation skill do?
Use when you want to improve response quality through meta-cognitive reasoning. Applies 15+ reasoning methods to reconsider and refine initial outputs.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill advanced-elicitation --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
