Five Minds

Q: How do I know the Five Minds output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: The five frames genuinely differ (they disagree, not just vary in tone); Each take is committed, not hedged into agreement; The clashes between them are made explicit; The synthesis keeps the strongest points and is honest about remaining tension.

Answer a question five completely different ways — as five independent minds with clashing worldviews — then converge on what survives. Use when asked for multiple perspectives, look at this from every angle, what would different people think, or give me a range of views not one answer. Produces five genuinely distinct takes (each committed to one worldview, not hedged), the tensions between them made explicit, and a final synthesis that keeps what's strongest — deliberately widening the range before narrowing it.

🗣 Say this to your agent

“Give me five different perspectives on whether I should take this job.”“Look at this business idea from every angle.”“What would different kinds of people think about this plan?”“I want a range of views on this, not one safe answer.”“Run this decision through several clashing viewpoints.”

What to give it

▸The question — the decision, problem, or topic

▸Any angles you want included — specific perspectives that matter here

▸Your context — enough to make the takes concrete

▸What you'll do with it — a decision, understanding, or ideas

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓The five frames genuinely differ (they disagree, not just vary in tone)

✓Each take is committed, not hedged into agreement

✓The clashes between them are made explicit

✓The synthesis keeps the strongest points and is honest about remaining tension

✓At least one frame fits the specific question, not just generic personas

⚠️ What it refuses to do

**Five versions of the same view** with different labels.

**Hedged takes** that all quietly agree.

**Skipping the clashes** — the most useful part.

**A synthesis that mushes everything** into bland consensus.
