"Apply first principles thinking to break problems down to fundamental truths and reason up from there. Use this skill when the user is stuck in conventional thinking, needs to challenge assumptions, find breakthrough solutions, or evaluate whether something is truly impossible vs just assumed to be — even if they say 'everyone does it this way', 'is there a fundamentally better approach', 'why does it have to cost this much', or 'challenge my assumptions'.".

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/'meta-first-principles' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'meta-first-principles' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named meta-first-principles already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/charlieviettq/awesome-agent-skill' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'c567ae426d55fa498e919fc0f5a37c582d5c7a2c' -- '.claude/skills/meta-first-principles' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.claude/skills/meta-first-principles' ~/.agents/skills/'meta-first-principles' && 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/'meta-first-principles' ~/.claude/skills/'meta-first-principles' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
