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.

What does the think-tank skill do?
Collaborative exploration and reasoning frameworks. Use when ideas need shaping, decisions need analysis, or requirements need clarification. Includes l'entonnoir questioning, incremental validation, YAGNI, and 12 reasoning techniques. Not for execution when path is clear or analysis is complete.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill think-tank --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.
