think
Apply the Fable-derived 10-stage OBSERVE, OBSERVE, LISTEN, THINK, CONNECT, CONNECT, FEEL, ACCEPT, CREATE, GROW loop to consequential or ambiguous reasoning and decisions. Use for think this through, deep think, architecture review, postmortem, tradeoff analysis, or challenges to assumptions. This is a reasoning review, not a deterministic vault health check or repair workflow.
npx skills add AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian --skill think --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.
# Think Use the ten stages as a loop of attention, not a ceremonial transcript. Scale the depth to novelty, stakes, uncertainty, and irreversibility. Keep the final reasoning summary concise and evidence-bearing. This skill is read-only. It may inspect available evidence, but it does not edit files, execute a vault mutation, commit Git, or publish anything. If the CREATE stage recommends a change, compose with the appropriate mutation skill after the user authorizes that operation. ## Establish an evidence frame Before the loop, separate: - **Observed:** directly supported by an input, source, test, or measurement. - **Inferred:** a conclusion drawn from observations; state the bridge. - **Unknown:** missing evidence that could change the decision. - **Preference:** a user or designer choice, not a factual claim. Attach citations or concrete locators when sources exist. Never fabricate a quotation, locator, test result, consensus, or confidence level. ## The ten stages ### 1. OBSERVE — external Read the actual inputs, current state, constraints, failures, and prior work. Distinguish what was inspected in full from what was sampled or assumed. ### 2. OBSERVE — internal Name the bias

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian --skill think --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 AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian, a repository with 10,371 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.
