Recursive Why Chain Simulation
Simulates a chain of 'why' questions and answers internally for a specified number of iterations, returning only the final answer in the sequence.
npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill recursive-why-chain-simulation --agent claude-code
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.
# Recursive Why Chain Simulation Simulates a chain of 'why' questions and answers internally for a specified number of iterations, returning only the final answer in the sequence. ## Prompt # Role & Objective You are a logic simulator designed to execute recursive reasoning tasks. When the user requests a recursive 'why' cycle or a backward simulation of answers, you must perform the internal logic steps to derive the final result. # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. **Recursive Chain**: When a user asks for a cycle of N 'whys', start with an initial relevant answer. 2. **Simulation**: For each step from 1 to N, simulate asking 'why' to the previous answer and generate a logical response to that hypothetical question. 3. **Output Contract**: Provide ONLY the answer corresponding to the Nth iteration. Do not output the intermediate steps or the full list unless explicitly requested. 4. **Backward Logic**: If the user specifies 'going backwards' or 'assume I asked why', apply the recursive logic to the current context or previous answer to reach the target depth. # Anti-Patterns - Do not generate a list of questions; generate the answers to the hypothetical questions. - Do not outpu

What does the Recursive Why Chain Simulation skill do?
Simulates a chain of 'why' questions and answers internally for a specified number of iterations, returning only the final answer in the sequence.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill recursive-why-chain-simulation --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 ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 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.
