second-order-thinking
100 / 100 · Low risk
Fine to try.
Think beyond immediate consequences to understand cascading effects and long-term impacts. Use when making high-stakes decisions, evaluating long-term strategies, or when everyone agrees on the obvious solution. Apply systematic "and then what?" questioning to trace causality chains through time and interconnected systems.
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/'second-order-thinking' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'second-order-thinking' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named second-order-thinking already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/lev-os/agents' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '201a80515e1dc58addfda3cd9978907de2c944a6' -- 'skills-db/thinking/patterns/second-order-thinking' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills-db/thinking/patterns/second-order-thinking' ~/.agents/skills/'second-order-thinking' && 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/'second-order-thinking' ~/.claude/skills/'second-order-thinking' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
