A catalog of 28 portable Agent Skills that give AI coding agents structured reasoning procedures based on mental models like first principles, five whys, pre-mortems, and theory of constraints. It installs into Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor, and other Agent Skills-compatible tools via a CLI, plugin marketplace, or file copy.

Use cases

  • add structured reasoning skills to claude code
  • make my ai coding agent think with mental models
  • debug a bug using scientific method with an llm agent
  • stress-test a launch plan with a pre-mortem skill
  • find bottlenecks with theory of constraints in an ai assistant
  • install agent skills for cursor or copilot
  • choose the right thinking framework for a problem with an ai router

When to choose

  • you use Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, or another Agent Skills-compatible tool and want repeatable reasoning procedures
  • you want a router that picks the right mental model for diagnosis, decisions, risk, or strategy tasks
  • you prefer eval-informed, MIT-licensed skills you can copy into any project

When to avoid

  • you need executable software rather than prompt-based skill definitions for AI agents
  • your agent tool does not support the Agent Skills format
  • you want guaranteed performance improvements without reviewing the catalog audit
