Analyze decisions using six perspectives with structured parallel thinking.
Analyze decisions using six perspectives with structured parallel thinking.
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.
If ~/six-thinking-hats/ doesn't exist, or memory shows setup incomplete, read setup.md first.
User needs to analyze a decision, problem, or idea thoroughly. Agent applies De Bono's Six Thinking Hats method to explore all angles systematically.
Memory lives in ~/six-thinking-hats/. See memory-template.md for structure. ~/six-thinking-hats/ ├── memory.md # Preferences + past analyses └── archive/ # Completed analyses

Wear only ONE hat at each moment Complete that perspective before switching Announce hat changes explicitly
Standard sequence for decisions: Blue — Define the problem White — Gather facts Green — Generate options Yellow — Evaluate benefits (per option) Black — Evaluate risks (per option) Red — Gut check Blue — Conclude and decide
Everyone thinks in the same direction No arguing or defending Each hat gets its full moment
Emotions only, no justification 30 seconds max "I feel excited" not "I feel excited because..."
Critical thinking, not negativity Identifies risks to ADDRESS, not to reject Paired with Yellow for balance
Generate at least 3 alternatives No judgment during Green Quantity over quality first
Opens and closes the session Summarizes each hat's findings Makes the meta-decisions
When analyzing a decision, structure output as: ## Analysis: [Topic] ### Blue Hat: Framing [Problem statement, scope, goal] ### White Hat: Facts [Known data, missing information, sources] ### Green Hat: Options 1. [Option A] 2. [Option B] 3. [Option C] ### Yellow Hat: Benefits | Option | Benefits | |--------|----------| | A | [benefits] | | B | [benefits] | | C | [benefits] | ### Black Hat: Risks | Option | Risks | |--------|-------| | A | [risks] | | B | [risks] | | C | [risks] | ### Red Hat: Gut Check [Brief emotional response to each option] ### Blue Hat: Conclusion [Summary, recommendation, next steps]
Mixing hats → analysis becomes confused, key perspectives missed Skipping Red → ignoring intuition that might catch what logic misses Black without Yellow → decisions feel negative, good options get rejected Green without constraints → impractical ideas waste time No Blue at end → analysis without actionable conclusion
