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.
# Systems Thinking Skill ## Goal To understand the system as a whole, specifically focusing on relationships, feedback loops, and delays, rather than looking at isolated parts. Use this when solving stubborn, recurring problems or designing robust architectures. ## Steps 1. **The Iceberg Model Analysis** * **Events (React):** What just happened? (The bug/incident) * **Patterns (Anticipate):** What trends have been happening over time? * **Structures (Design):** What influenced the patterns? (Architecture, Org chart, Incentives) * **Mental Models (Transform):** What assumptions/beliefs keep the system in place? 2. **Causal Loop Diagramming (CLD)** * Identify variables (e.g., "Code Quality", "Velocity", "Tech Debt"). * Map relationships (S = Same direction, O = Opposite direction). * Identify Loops: * **Reinforcing (R):** Exponential growth/collapse (Virtuous/Vicious cycles). * **Balancing (B):** Goal-seeking/Stabilizing. * *Output:* Mermaid diagram or text-based CLD. 3. **Identify Leverage Points** * Where is the intervention point with the highest impact? * Examples: Changing a buffer size (Low leverage) vs Changing the goal of the system (High leverage). 4. **Archetype Matching**

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill product-andreibesleaga-gabbe-9 --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.
