Free Agent Skills (SKILL.md) that help Claude, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and other AI agents support better thinking: define the right problem first, generate ideas that are genuinely different, choose with the right method, weigh trade-offs honestly and stress-test a plan before committing. The agent frames, widens and challenges; you decide.
