Fine to try.

Use when user is stuck by industry conventions ("大家都这么做"), faces a new problem with no precedent, or finds current solutions arbitrarily expensive (intuition says "it shouldn't cost this much"). Triggers on Chinese phrases 行业惯例 / 大家都这么做 / 为什么不能 / 这么贵不合理 / 颠覆性 / 从零开始, and English signals "everyone does it this way", "why is it so expensive", "let's think from scratch". Decompose to irreducible physical/logical truths then rebuild — bypasses analogy thinking. Musk's secret. Do NOT use for problem…

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/'first-principles' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'first-principles' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named first-principles already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/jackjin1997/ClawForge' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '896286f3d171429c9e8553fae87ddae90c8265c8' -- 'skills/first-principles' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/first-principles' ~/.agents/skills/'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/'first-principles' ~/.claude/skills/'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.
