tjboudreauxthinking-kepner-tregoe

tjboudreauxthinking-lindy-effect
Use when longevity of a non-perishable option matters. Treat survival duration as a remaining-life prior, then check domain drift before favoring the proven.

tjboudreauxthinking-map-territory
When a claim, doc, test, metric, or assumption conflicts with observed behavior, stop theorizing from the map and verify the live code or data; let territory overrule.

tjboudreauxthinking-margin-of-safety
When provisioning, setting a limit, or committing an estimate under uncertainty, size a buffer to residual error and the cost of breach—not to the optimistic edge.

tjboudreauxthinking-model-combination

tjboudreauxthinking-model-router

tjboudreauxthinking-ooda
Use under time pressure when the situation is still changing and you must act before certainty — cycle Observe→Orient→Decide→Act on ~70% confidence, then re-observe.

tjboudreauxthinking-opportunity-cost

tjboudreauxthinking-probabilistic
Use when forecasting, estimating, or sizing risk — anchor on base rates, give ranges, update prior→likelihood→posterior on evidence, and factor unmeasured quantities into order-of-magnitude bounds.

tjboudreauxthinking-red-team
For authorized security review of code, auth, or APIs you control, model the attacker, map the attack surface, and report only findings with a reproducible exploit path and verified mitigation.

tjboudreauxthinking-reversibility
Before heavy deliberation, classify the decision as cheap or costly to undo; decide two-way doors fast and stage one-way doors to preserve options.

tjboudreauxthinking-scientific-method
When a symptom has several plausible causes, rank falsifiable hypotheses and run the cheapest discriminating observation first; prefer least-assumptive survivors only after evidence fit.

tjboudreauxthinking-socratic

tjboudreauxthinking-theory-of-constraints

tjboudreauxthinking-thought-experiment
When a real test is too rare, large, or irreversible, run a controlled counterfactual: isolate one variable, fix conditions, trace the mechanistic chain, and bound what the result implies.

tjboudreauxthinking-via-negativa
Use when the reflex is to add a feature, layer, or process. Prefer removing harmful or nonessential elements first, with an irreversibility guard before deletion.

lilmgeniusaim
When data lands with a thin ask — files, a repo, a paste, a chat scrollback — read it and propose what the user is trying to do with it, as a proposal to confirm rather than a question to answer. Use the moment material arrives without a fully-formed ask, or when the ask reads thinner than the data suggests.

lilmgeniusdetool
Make durable artifacts portable by replacing incidental stack, vendor, model, CLI, path, quota, or harness nouns with the mechanism they mean, while keeping provenance, runbooks, and tool-subject claims concrete.

lilmgeniusfeynman
Press a decision you just made until you can explain it to a skeptic in your own words, or surface the gap where you can't. The Feynman test aimed at a choice: understanding is cheapest to fake the moment after you decide, so a fresh critic presses for what you can't actually explain. Use right after picking an option, especially one an agent laid out without arguing for.

lilmgeniushate
Attack a plan, design, or argument like you want it to fail before you commit real effort — return the single load-bearing objection and the cheapest experiment that would prove it matters, not a checklist. User-invoked on purpose: a hate-it reflex always in the agent's reach would bias it toward demolition. Weighs many failure axes but owns the synthesis to one root.

lilmgeniusmacrothink
User-invoked read-only pass for checking whether the current direction is tunnel-visioned: strip the session's bait, fan out 2 to 5 same-model fresh reads, and report divergence first without treating convergence as proof.
