five-minds
Answer a question five completely different ways — as five independent minds with clashing worldviews — then converge on what survives. Use when asked for multiple perspectives, look at this from every angle, what would different people think, or give me a range of views not one answer. Produces five genuinely distinct takes (each committed to one worldview, not hedged), the tensions between them made explicit, and a final synthesis that keeps what's strongest — deliberately widening the range before narrowing it.

# Five Minds A single answer is a single angle. This runs the question through five deliberately different minds — each fully committed to its own worldview, none aware of the others — so you get a real spread instead of one blended, cautious view. Then a sixth pass reads them against each other and keeps what holds. It's structured disagreement, on purpose. ## What This Skill Produces - **Five distinct takes** — each from a different frame (e.g. the optimist, the skeptic, the pragmatist, the outsider, the long-term thinker), each committed rather than hedged - **The clashes** — where the minds directly contradict each other, made explicit (that's the signal) - **What each sees that the others miss** — the unique contribution of each angle - **A synthesis** — the final view that keeps the strongest points and resolves (or holds) the tensions ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The question** — the decision, problem, or topic - **Any angles you want included** — specific perspectives that matter here - **Your context** — enough to make the takes concrete - **What you'll do with it** — a decision, understanding, or ideas ## Framework: Diverge Hard, Then Converge 1.

What does the five-minds skill do?
Answer a question five completely different ways — as five independent minds with clashing worldviews — then converge on what survives. Use when asked for multiple perspectives, look at this from every angle, what would different people think, or give me a range of views not one answer. Produces five genuinely distinct takes (each committed to one worldview, not hedged), the tensions between them made explicit, and a final synthesis that keeps what's strongest — deliberately widening the range before narrowing it.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill five-minds --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 mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,277 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.
