Thinking and reasoning skills for Claude Code: multi-perspective deliberation, scientific brainstorming, and context-engineering fundamentals.
Run a multi-perspective Mind Council deliberation on any question, decision, or creative challenge. Use this skill whenever the user wants diverse viewpoints, needs help making a tough decision, asks for a council/panel/board discussion, wants to explore a problem from multiple angles, requests devil's advocate analysis, or says things like "what would different experts think about this", "help me think through this from all sides", "council mode", "mind council", or "deliberate on this". Also trigger when the user faces a dilemma, trade-off, or complex choice with no obvious answer.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "diagnose context problems", "fix lost-in-middle issues", "debug agent failures", "understand context poisoning", or mentions context degradation, attention patterns, context clash, context confusion, or agent performance degradation. Provides patterns for recognizing and mitigating context failures.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "understand context", "explain context windows", "design agent architecture", "debug context issues", "optimize context usage", or discusses context components, attention mechanics, progressive disclosure, or context budgeting. Provides foundational understanding of context engineering for AI agent systems.
Creative research ideation and exploration. Use for open-ended brainstorming sessions, exploring interdisciplinary connections, challenging assumptions, or identifying research gaps. Best for early-stage research planning when you do not have specific observations yet. For formulating testable hypotheses from data use hypothesis-generation.

A Claude Code plugin marketplace of thinking and reasoning skills, built on the open Agent Skills standard - so the same skills work in Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, and other compatible agents.
/plugin marketplace add corticalstack/thinking
/plugin install thinking@thinking
Restart Claude Code. The skills then appear in autocomplete as /thinking:<name> (e.g. /thinking:consciousness-council).
The skills live in .claude/skills/, which Copilot CLI reads. Install them with the gh skill command (GitHub CLI v2.90.0+):
# all skills from this repo, available everywhere (user scope):
gh skill install corticalstack/thinking --agent github-copilot --scope user
# or just one skill:
gh skill install corticalstack/thinking consciousness-council --agent github-copilot --scope user
In a Copilot CLI session: reload with /skills reload, confirm with /skills info consciousness-council, then invoke by name, e.g. "Use the /scientific-brainstorming skill on this research question."
gh skill also accepts --agent claude-code, cursor, gemini-cli, codex, and many others, so the same repo serves any Agent-Skills-compatible tool. (Alternatively, copy a skill's folder into your project .claude/skills/ or personal ~/.copilot/skills/ and run /skills reload.)
Repository scaffolding (manifests, README) is MIT. Individual skills retain their own licenses where present: consciousness-council and scientific-brainstorming are MIT; context-degradation and context-fundamentals carry no explicit license - treat them as the maintainer's own.
