Use when building the central argument of a Mind article — stating a sharp thesis and constructing a valid, sound argument for it. This is the core of an analytic-philosophy paper: explicit premises, a valid inference to the conclusion, and defensible premises. Structures the argument; it does not generate the philosophical content for you.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'mind-thesis-and-argument' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'mind-thesis-and-argument' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named mind-thesis-and-argument already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '932eb23331721b16e967c59f093781be1928b498' -- 'Mind-Skills/skills/mind-thesis-and-argument' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'Mind-Skills/skills/mind-thesis-and-argument' ~/.agents/skills/'mind-thesis-and-argument' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'mind-thesis-and-argument' ~/.claude/skills/'mind-thesis-and-argument' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
