What it does

Practical guide for applying HUMMBL's 6 transformations to real-world problems. Provides step-by-step workflows, combination patterns, templates, and examples for effective mental model usage.

How it works

• Transformation set: Perspective (P), Inversion (IN), Composition (CO), Decomposition (DE), Recursion (RE), Meta-Systems (SY).
• Transformation Workflows: Each workflow prescribes inputs, a sequence of steps, and an output format for different analytical purposes (e.g., Perspective Analysis, Inversion Analysis, Composition Strategy, Decomposition Analysis, Recursion Analysis, Meta-Systems Strategy).
• For each workflow, it lists problem indicators or triggers, guiding questions, and best-use cases to determine when to apply a given transformation.
• Transformation Patterns: Provides patterns that combine multiple transformations in a sequence (e.g., P → DE → CO, P → IN → SY, DE → IN → CO, and a full cycle All 6 in Sequence) with concrete use cases and example narratives.
• Output templates: Each workflow includes explicit Markdown-formatted output structures to document findings, including problem statements, stakeholder perspectives, lenses, root causes, components, interconnections, iterative improvements, and strategic recommendations.

When to use it

• Use Perspective to frame ambiguous problems, map stakeholders, apply multiple lenses, identify first principles, and document context.
• Use Inversion to challenge assumptions, run premortems, identify what to STOP doing, and seek disconfirming evidence.
• Use Decomposition to break a complex system into parts, identify root causes, locate bottlenecks, and perform Pareto analysis.
• Use Composition to integrate components into a cohesive whole, identify synergies, define integration points, and plan orchestration.
• Use Recursion to analyze feedback loops, identify virtuous/vicious cycles, plan iterative improvements, and assess second-order effects.
• Use Meta-Systems to assess strategic questions, apply second-order thinking, find leverage points, anticipate unintended consequences, and select appropriate models.

What it can touch

• Tools: claude-code (as declared in the skill).
• It specifies workflows and templates but does not enumerate executable scripts beyond the formatted outputs and examples.

Caveats

• License: MIT.
• Declared tools: claude-code.
• The content assumes the user will apply the six transformations in the provided sequences and adapt the templates to concrete problems; it does not guarantee outcomes.
