macrothink

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.

Read excerpt

Step back from the session's chosen path and ask several fresh reads what the current direction might be missing.

## Goal

`macrothink` checks the live decision or direction in hand, not the artifact that describes it. It is for moments when the session may have inherited a framing from examples, wording, prior turns, or a first plausible answer.

The product is a spread of independent reads. Divergence is the signal. Convergence is reassurance, never proof.

## Workflow

This skill is not model-invoked automatically. When a user explicitly invokes it, the invoked run may create the bounded fresh sub-sessions below; they are read-only inputs to this pass, not separate authority to change the plan.

1. Name the current direction: the decision the session is about to keep building on.
2. Strip the prompt to the underlying problem: goal, constraints, and known facts. Remove the session's own examples, suggested answer, preferred naming, and framing-specific wording.
