think-reframe
Problem redefinition before problem solving. Takes a stated problem, extracts its premises, then spawns reframers applying different lenses (problem-vs-symptom, scope-shift, stakeholder-shift, level-of-abstraction, time-horizon, inversion, category-shift, constraints-shift) in isolation, and synthesizes the alternatives into a report with an orchestrator recommendation. Produces feedback only — no code, no tickets, no artifacts.

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-Reframe - Problem Redefinition Before Problem Solving Takes a stated problem and explores alternative framings of it through parallel reframers, each applying a different reframing lens in isolation. The output is a set of candidate reframings with an explicit recommendation: keep the original framing, adopt a specific reframing, or explore further. Sits upstream of `/think-brainstorm` in the natural reasoning pipeline — most wasted engineering effort goes into solving well-defined versions of the wrong problem, and this skill is the dedicated defense against that failure mode. **This skill produces no tangible artifacts.** It is a consultant, not an implementer. No code, no tickets, no commits. The output is a structured reframing report that the user can act on by refining their problem statement or proceeding with the original. ## Roles **Judge (you, running this skill):** - Capture the stated problem in a written brief - Extract stated and unstated premises (lightweight reconnaissance, not confrontation) - Choose appropriate reframing lenses - Spawn reframers and synthesize the alternatives into a report with a recommendation **Reframers:** Each receives a specific lens

What does the think-reframe skill do?
Problem redefinition before problem solving. Takes a stated problem, extracts its premises, then spawns reframers applying different lenses (problem-vs-symptom, scope-shift, stakeholder-shift, level-of-abstraction, time-horizon, inversion, category-shift, constraints-shift) in isolation, and synthesizes the alternatives into a report with an orchestrator recommendation. Produces feedback only — no code, no tickets, no artifacts.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill think-reframe --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.
