Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# OODA Loop Analysis Run a complete OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Execute) on the problem or decision provided. ## Instructions Work through each phase sequentially. Be thorough but concise. ### Phase 1: OBSERVE Gather facts before analyzing. Ask: "What is actually happening?" Output: - **Current State**: Facts only, no interpretation - **Signals**: What prompted this inquiry - **Scope**: Boundaries of the situation - **Constraints**: Resources, time, rules, dependencies - **Unknowns**: Information gaps to acknowledge ### Phase 2: ORIENT Analyze and build understanding. Ask: "Why is this happening?" Output: - **Root Cause Analysis**: Underlying drivers, not just symptoms - **Mental Models**: Frameworks that apply (first principles, inversion, second-order effects, etc.) - **Patterns**: Similar situations and their outcomes - **Stakeholder Views**: How different parties see this - **Assumptions**: What we're taking for granted - **Biases**: Cognitive traps to watch for ### Phase 3: DECIDE Choose from viable options. Ask: "What's the best approach?" Output: - **Options** (minimum 3): - Option A — Pros / Cons / Risk level - Option B — Pros / Cons / Risk level - Option C — Pros /

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill ooda-wildwasser-opencode-agents --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.
