Think

Use the ten stages as a loop of attention, not a ceremonial transcript. Scale the depth to novelty, stakes, uncertainty, and irreversibility. Keep the final reasoning summary concise and evidence-bearing.

This skill is read-only. It may inspect available evidence, but it does not edit files, execute a vault mutation, commit Git, or publish anything. If the CREATE stage recommends a change, compose with the appropriate mutation skill after the user authorizes that operation.

Establish an evidence frame

Before the loop, separate:

• Observed: directly supported by an input, source, test, or measurement.
• Inferred: a conclusion drawn from observations; state the bridge.
• Unknown: missing evidence that could change the decision.
• Preference: a user or designer choice, not a factual claim.
