# Thinking Partner A deterministic thinking partner that challenges assumptions and applies 150+ mental models to sharpen decisions, solve problems, and think more clearly. Built on the open [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) standard. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, GitHub Copilot, and any AI agent that supports the standard. ## Install ```bash npx skills add mattnowdev/thinking-partner ``` ## What It Does Not a lecture — a sparring session. Turns your AI agent into a thinking partner that: - **Challenges assumptions** — Surfaces hidden beliefs you're treating as facts - **Applies mental models** — Selects and deploys the right frameworks for your situation (150+ models across 17 disciplines) - **Detects orientation capture** — Notices when your thinking serves comfort instead of truth - **Maintains productive tension** — Holds complexity open long enough to find real insight
