Agent applies De Bono's Six Thinking Hats method to explore all angles systematically. ### Architecture Memory lives in ~/six-thinking-hats/. See memory-template.md for structure. ~/six-thinking-hats/ ├── memory.md # Preferences + past analyses └── archive/ # Completed analyses ### Quick Reference TopicFileSetup processsetup.mdMemory templatememory-template.mdHat detailshats.md ### 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 ### Related Skills Install with clawhub install if user confirms: decide — decision frameworks brainstorm — creative idea generation first-principles-thinking — foundational analysis ### Feedback If useful: clawhub star six-thinking-hats Stay updated: clawhub sync ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: ivangdavila - Version: 1.0.0 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Item download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item. - Health scope: item - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-04-30T05:00:42.027Z - Expires at: 2026-05-07T05:00:42.027Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/six-thinking-hats) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/six-thinking-hats/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/six-thinking-hats/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/six-thinking-hats/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/six-thinking-hats)
