The Skill Suite

The Cube maps six cognitive frameworks to the six faces of a Rubik's cube. A problem is placed at the core. The cube rotates through geometric combinations:

  • 6 Faces (individual framework analysis)
  • 12 Edges (adjacent-pair cross-analysis)
  • 3 Axes (opposite-pair dialectics)
  • 8 Corners (triple-framework triangulation)

= 30 total analysis points, followed by grand synthesis.

Cube Layout

Front (F): Inversion          Back (B): First Principles
Left (L):  Steelmanning       Right (R): Second-Order Thinking
Up (U):    Pre-Mortem          Down (D): Boundary Conditions

Stacks

Each stack is a complete Rubik's cube with 6 domain-specific frameworks, unique edge/axis/corner names, and the same 30-position rotation protocol.

Development Guidelines

When modifying skills:

  • Each skill file must remain self-contained (all instructions in one file)
  • Every analysis point must have a clear self-prompt for Claude to follow
  • Maintain cube geometry consistently (faces, edges, axes, corners map to real positions)
  • Position numbers (1-30) must stay sequential and match the output format
  • Key Insight tags are required after every analysis position
  • Phase transition markers are required between phases
  • Cross-references between positions should be used when later rotations connect to earlier ones
  • Edge rotation descriptors must explain both methodologies for non-practitioner scaffolding

Telemetry

Feedback is saved to .cube/feedback/ via the /cube-feedback skill. This data stays local. Users can opt to share it via GitHub issues.
