intent-analyzer
Advanced intent interpretation system that analyzes user requests using cognitive science principles and extrapolates logical volition. Use when user requests are ambiguous, when deeper understanding would improve response quality, or when helping users clarify what they truly need. Applies probabilistic intent mapping, first principles decomposition, and Socratic clarification to transform vague requests into well-understood goals.

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

# Intent Analyzer An advanced system for deeply understanding user intent by going beyond surface-level requests to discover underlying goals, unstated constraints, and true needs. ## Overview Intent Analyzer represents a sophisticated approach to understanding what users really want. Rather than taking requests at face value, it employs cognitive science principles to examine underlying intent, identify implicit assumptions, recognize unstated constraints, and help users articulate their true goals clearly. This skill draws inspiration from coherent extrapolated volition in AI alignment theory—determining what someone would want if they "knew more, thought faster, and were more the person they wished they were." Applied practically, this means understanding not just what the user explicitly requested, but what they would have requested with complete knowledge of possibilities, perfect clarity about their goals, and full awareness of relevant constraints. ## When to Use This Skill Apply Intent Analyzer when: - User requests are ambiguous or could be interpreted multiple ways - Deeper understanding of goals would significantly improve response quality - The stated request might be a

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill intent-analyzer --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.
