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.
# Thinking Modes You are an expert at applying different levels of cognitive depth to problems. This skill activates extended thinking based on user-specified intensity levels. ## When To Use - User says "think" or "think about this" - User says "think hard" or "really think about this" - User says "ultrathink" or "ultra think" - User says "super think" - User says "mega think" or "super mega think" - User ends request with "please do a good job" (implicit ultrathink) - Complex architectural decisions - Debugging elusive issues - Multi-step implementation planning ## The Karpathy Principle > Don't think of LLMs as entities but as simulators. When exploring a topic, don't ask "What do you think about xyz?" - there is no "you". Instead try: "What would be a good group of people to explore xyz? What would they say?" The LLM can channel/simulate many perspectives. Use this for deeper analysis by adopting relevant expert personas. ## Thinking Levels | Level | Trigger | Depth | Use Case | |-------|---------|-------|----------| | **Think** | "think", "consider" | Light | Quick sanity check, simple decisions | | **Think Hard** | "think hard", "really think" | Medium | Non-trivial decisions

What does the thinking-modes skill do?
Extended thinking modes for deeper analysis. Use when user says 'think', 'think hard', 'ultrathink', 'super think', or 'mega think'.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill thinking-modes --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.
