concept-forge
Transform nebulous ideas into sharp, testable frameworks through multi-perspective dialectical interrogation. Use when developing vague intuitions, pressure-testing concepts, structuring half-formed frameworks, or distinguishing new ideas from existing concepts. Triggers include "explore this idea," "think through X," or "challenge my thinking.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Concept Forge Skill Systematic dialectical process for developing concepts from vague intuition to testable framework. Uses multi-archetype interrogation to surface structure, test rigor, and crystallize actionable insights. ## Core Philosophy **Concepts emerge through interrogation, not explanation.** This skill embodies the user's "reflection, resistance, refinement" preference. It: - Challenges rather than affirms - Questions rather than answers - Reveals structure through pressure - Builds through dialectic **Not a yes-machine. A forge.** --- ## Core Workflow ### 1. Intake & Stage Recognition **Assess where concept is developmentally:** Load `references/development-stages.md` to identify stage: - **Stage 0 (Intuition):** "There's something about X..." → Can't articulate, has examples - **Stage 1 (Articulation):** "I think X is Y..." → Can state but fuzzy - **Stage 2 (Dimensionalization):** "There are two things..." → Structure emerging - **Stage 3 (Mapping):** "Air India is here..." → Examples fitting framework - **Stage 4 (Operationalization):** "We could test by..." → Falsifiable - **Stage 5 (Refinement):** "But there's tension..." → Acknowledging complexity - **Stage 6 (Do

What does the concept-forge skill do?
Transform nebulous ideas into sharp, testable frameworks through multi-perspective dialectical interrogation. Use when developing vague intuitions, pressure-testing concepts, structuring half-formed frameworks, or distinguishing new ideas from existing concepts. Triggers include "explore this idea," "think through X," or "challenge my thinking.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill concept-forge-leegonzales-aiskills-2 --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.
