round-table-analysis
Deep pre-execution analysis framework using four philosophers (Socrates, Aristotle, Feynman, Drucker) for structured critical thinking before implementing plans. Use when users need to thoroughly understand a topic, question assumptions, clarify objectives, or explore multiple perspectives before taking action. Triggered by phrases like "help me think through," "analyze this topic," "before we start," "I want to understand," or when complex decisions require deeper exploration.

# Round Table Analysis A structured framework for deep analysis using four complementary philosophical perspectives before executing plans or making decisions. ## The Four Thinkers **Socrates**: Questions assumptions and reveals hidden biases through critical inquiry **Aristotle**: Defines concepts, maps logical structures, and identifies causal relationships **Feynman**: Simplifies complexity and tests understanding through plain language **Drucker**: Focuses on objectives and ensures analysis leads to actionable outcomes ## Core Principle The goal is not to provide a single "correct" answer, but to build a multi-dimensional understanding network that reveals core tensions and potential exploration paths. Other thinkers may interject with brief comments (using blockquotes) to maintain dialectical dialogue. ## Analysis Process Follow these five stages in strict sequence, allowing for brief reflection between stages. ### Stage 0: Cognitive Self-Reflection (Socratic Groundwork) **Important**: Do not answer directly. Instead, embody Socrates and ask the user 2-3 sharp questions to help them expose their own assumptions and true intentions. **Reveal Biases**: What unexamined assumption

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill round-table-analysis --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.
