The Mental Models
The skill gives Claude access to twelve mental models, mapped to problem types:
"What should we build?" → first-principles, inversion, one-thing
"How should we prioritise?" → eisenhower-matrix, pareto, opportunity-cost
"Is this the right direction?" → inversion, second-order, 10-10-10
"What are we missing?" → 5-whys, via-negativa, swot
"Which option is best?" → opportunity-cost, first-principles, occams-razorEach model is invoked via a slash command in a companion resource: /taches-cc-resources:consider:first-principles, /taches-cc-resources:consider:inversion, and so on. The skill tells Claude which models to reach for and in what order.
