Setup

Architecture

Memory lives in ~/six-thinking-hats/. See memory-template.md for structure. ~/six-thinking-hats/ ├── memory.md # Preferences + past analyses └── archive/ # Completed analyses

The Six Hats

HatFocusKey QuestionWhiteFacts, dataWhat do we know? What data is missing?RedEmotions, intuitionHow do I feel about this? Gut reaction?BlackRisks, problemsWhat could go wrong? Why might this fail?YellowBenefits, valueWhat are the advantages? Best case?GreenCreativity, alternativesWhat else is possible? New ideas?BlueProcess, controlWhat's the next step? Summary?

1. One Hat at a Time

Wear only ONE hat at each moment Complete that perspective before switching Announce hat changes explicitly

2. Sequence Matters

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

3. Keep It Parallel

Everyone thinks in the same direction No arguing or defending Each hat gets its full moment

4. Red Hat Is Brief

Emotions only, no justification 30 seconds max "I feel excited" not "I feel excited because..."

5. Black Hat Is Not Negative

Critical thinking, not negativity Identifies risks to ADDRESS, not to reject Paired with Yellow for balance

6. Green Hat Forces Output

Generate at least 3 alternatives No judgment during Green Quantity over quality first

7. Blue Hat Owns the Process

Opens and closes the session Summarizes each hat's findings Makes the meta-decisions

Output Format

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]

Common Traps

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
