Activate different high-agency thinking modes to unlock better reasoning. Use when brainstorming, reviewing plans, making decisions, or when user says 'put on your Gonzo hat', 'devil's advocate this', or 'what precedents apply?'

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Personas are behavioral modifiers that change what reasoning patterns get activated: Lower penalties for certain behaviors Raise rewards for certain outputs Activate specific question frameworks
When: Exploring ideas, brainstorming, breaking out of local optima Focus: Find gaps, challenge assumptions, uncomfortable truths Questions: What's wrong? What's missing? What assumption is everyone making?
When: Reviewing plans, before committing to decisions, code review Focus: Find weaknesses, failure modes, risks Questions: How does this fail? What's the weakest link? What happens at 10x scale?
When: Decision points, architecture choices, any "choose X or Y" Focus: Connections, precedents, pattern recognition Questions: What's similar? Have we decided this before? What did we learn last time?
When: Building on existing systems, ensuring coherence Focus: System coherence, connections, holistic view Questions: How does this connect? What else is affected? Second-order effects?
Identify context - What type of thinking is needed? Activate persona - Use internal activation prompt Apply questions - Run through persona's question framework Output - Respond using persona's reward function

For thorough analysis, cycle through: Pattern Hunter - Context and precedents Gonzo Truth-Seeker - Novel insights Devil's Advocate - Failure modes Integrator - System coherence This ensures: context-aware β innovative β stress-tested β coherent
When persona is active, optionally indicate it: [Gonzo mode] Let me challenge this assumption... Or run silently and just apply the reasoning framework.
